celebrate your victories while you can, England!

ENG 1-0 SVN

England Party Post | England Party Post 2

Let's celebrate before the inevitable heartbreak on Sunday with GER v. ENG. I can't lie, I'm not optimistic. But let's party it up while we can!

Mad props also to the USMNT for pulling off a (literal) last-minute win against Algeria. I don't even feel bad for Algeria anymore because apparently an Algerian player hit a female journalist post-match. What the shit is that, mate?


I'm not going to repost my tweets today because there are many and they are all incoherent. I have never been as stressed watching a game as I was with today's Group C games. Group D I was a little calmer about because chances were good the entire time that Germany would move on. :) And then Ghana got to move on too, yay! African nation representation!

So first let's have some Becks & suggestive, compromising pictures of footballers, as promised in the cut-text.


Capello & Becks in smart 3-piece suits, both very pleased.


Becks is somewhat less pleased with Rooney. Rooney, you did much better today than in previous games, but you still gotta step it up! Don't let the hair-depression get to you; Becks means well...

Honestly, the entire English NT did a hell of a lot better today than I've seen in their past games. They actually looked like they were trying and that they wanted to win. What is this actual running about and trying to score thing? Must be new.

Or, really, it's just the magic of the red kids. Even though they are polo-less.

(OT: My god I love Stevie's stupid accent. I love everything about him, dammit!)

(OT: Somebody stop me from writing footballer slash; I'm writing Akame, I swear.)

More Becks:




Old pics of Becks having a friendly tumble with everyone's favorite GK-captain:

(That's Iker, I mean. Becks/Casillas!)



On the topic of gay football loving...


Lampard & JT, before JT was a douchecanoe and slept with another teammate's ex-wife. Is it because Lampsy threw you over, JT? Or did he throw you over after your epic bout of Assholery? Oh well, I dislike you as a person, but as long as you're contributing on the pitch to England's win, I will keep my disgust and bitching to a minimum. Morals, I compromise them for sports.

(Tangential anecdote: David Villa escapes official sanction for his infraction during the Spain v. Honduras match, i.e., smacking a Honduras player in the face with the back of his hand. Extenuating circumstances, blah blah blah, he probably deserved to be suspended, honestly. But like I say: morals are for losers, and I'm selfishly glad Villa will still be around to keep scoring for Spain. Though here's hoping he's smart enough to figure out he was fucking lucky to get away with this so maybe he'll stop the temper tantrums in the bigger, more important games, and focus on not missing fucking penalty kicks.)

This is one of my favorite compromising-position-what-the-hell-are-they-doing-don't-they-know-how-that-looks football pics:

(Alas, I have no idea who the guy with his hands up Stevie's shorts is. My, Stevie's kind of a bicycle, isn't he? Everyone gets a ride. If I wrote footballer fic, there would be Stevie/everyone. It exists in my head.)



Another cute picture of Kaká because everyone seems to love him:


But, sorry kids, Kaká only his eyes for his BFF Ronaldo.

Fuck my life, you guys. I am starting to hate Ronaldo less and less. He is still a diva and stupidly theatrical on the pitch, but but - he and Kaká are BFFs who speak Portuguese together and play together on Real Madrid and call each other every night. Ronaldo called Kaká about his red card and said it was unfair! Do you see the way they giggle (manfully) together at the end of that video when they are asking each other questions?

asldkghdfjkl damn the slash fangirl in me, I'll never be able to unship this. Fuck.



But hey, Deustchland won! And looked damned fine in their black kits!









Their party post is here and for some reason features a ton of SPN gifs in the threads.



In conclusion, if ever there was reason to join ontd_football, it is for the locked post that celebrates the heart-stoppingly gorgeous (and evidently very bashful and sweet) Yoann Gourcuff.

Here is a sample of some of the pictures:




LOL


~*~This is the Yoann love post.~*~


Nando celebrates England's victory by trying to be a boybander:


Seriously, football's ruined my life. Why can't I stop spamming?

To all Canadians over in Ontario & Quebec: earthquake! I hope everyone is all right. ♥ What on earth is the world coming to?

GHANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :D

omg i am fretting so much over friday's CIV and SUI, HOW CAN I WATCH THEM??? T___T i really want to just call in sick alsdkfsd but i won't. :| why are they at such awkward times i am seriously trying to figure out if i can stream them later or download them or SOMETHING

FRIDAY IS LIKE MY HOLY GRAIL except wrong simile WHY IS IT ON A FRIDAYYYYYYYY

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Yay for Ghana! They play USA on Sunday aslkghfj I wonder how that will go. All I care about really is England v. Germany, boooo. Shitty luck. :(

As for CIV v. SUI, there is I think a CBC stream. There are other non-country-specific streams, I think? Check out the ontd_fb WC posts because on each of those they have links to where streams are carried. I don't even know what time the games are but I'll figure it out before Friday. I'm so tired. I took a nap and it's messed with my head and my appetite has been thrown off completely. I haven't been eating proper dinners at all this week basically. /sigh

[herocountry.livejournal.com]

:( who are you rooting for, england? why do you think germany will win D:

no i mean like, i can't watch it at work? i know there are streams but i wouldn't be able to watch them live and idk if they replay later/if i can download them later :(. :( :( :( forever.

WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN EATING

[herocountry.livejournal.com]

i got sent home early bc the bank closed bc of the earthquake :D

[meiface.livejournal.com]

yes I know, you told me over MSN...

[herocountry.livejournal.com]

oh....

yeah........

[intomorning.livejournal.com]

Yay, congrats to England for moving onto the Round of 16! :D

OH MAN, today's game made me really like Germany! Now I recognize players and feel affection for them outside of "Hey, I just noticed you b/c you're good-looking!"

[meiface.livejournal.com]

HOW WILL I CHOOSE BETWEEN GERMANY AND ENGLAND? T_______T

[intomorning.livejournal.com]

HOW DO YOU LISTEN TO YOUR HEART WHEN YOUR HEART WANTS OPPOSITE THINGS?

[intomorning.livejournal.com]

Even though technically most of my affection is based on "Hey, I just noticed you're good-looking..."

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahaha. My fondness for Podolski stems mostly from that plus he's young and usually does very well. Not his best game today, I think, but still yay for Germany advancing. (Damn them for being top of the group and facing England. I really would've rather they faced the USA...)

[intomorning.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I would've rather seen a US-Germany match-up, too. :<

I like Podolski! And Müller! Also, how cute was Ozil & the team when he scored today?

[intomorning.livejournal.com]

Also, how are Kaká and Ronaldo so cute together? >:3 I've always liked Kaká b/c he seems so nice & he's a good player (he almost died and stopped playing football, but he kept on going! O:) and I've never really seen Ronaldo play, so in my mind he's just the Theatrical Diver, but awww, their friendship makes me :"D.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

asdkhf all I really know about Kaká is that he is very religious and rarely shows skin and is a very, very good footballer with lots of fans. Despite being such a big name apparently he's still very humble and stuff so he doesn't have as many haters as Ronaldo or even less controversial players like Torres. I was like :O O RLY.

Lol Ronaldo is definitely a theatrical diva on the pitch but I cannot help fangirling his BFFery with Kaká asldkghf omg why so cute. I also totally blanked out and forgot that they would both be able to speak Portuguese to each other. How cute!

[intomorning.livejournal.com]

He just seems like a gentleman, on the field? pitch? and off, so that impresses me. :]

"Are you switching between Spanish and Portuguese?"
"I mix everything together!"
SO CUTE, SO CUTE. Look at Ronaldo's grin when Kaká says "blanca." xD

[x-amadare.livejournal.com]

FIRST OF ALL YAY ENGLAND ANG GERMANY! \:DD/
Oh lordy that picture of Lampard and JT *_____* W-w-what are they doing?! Oh god that was before I saw the Gerrard picture O:
Thank goodness I wasn't the only one! I felt like I was going against my own principles when I started not hating Ronaldo saijdfoai. It's all Kaká's fault, seriously. They need to be shipped and ficced. JFC they call each other every night. And they speak the same language! They're in a foreign place together~ It probably feels like home for both of them when they talk. If that isn't true love...

Yoann is freaking gorgeous. I'm jealous of those eyelashes of his, unnnnnf.
LOL That gif of Torres is gold! Where is it from?

Seriously, football's ruined my life. Why can't I stop spamming?
At least someone's feeding my new football craze. I think my family is worried XD

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahaha well as long as my spam is feeding someone's interests, I guess it isn't all bad. I'm sure the majority of my flist is tired of it already though haha. I know mainly Americans & Canadians and I'm hardpressed to think of two countries that care less about the WC.

A friend linked the Torres gif; I wish I knew where it was from! He looks so young and...boy-bandy. lol

alskdg as for the pictures I really don't know what to say about them. NO ONE KNOWS what it is about football that requires a hand up someone else's shorts but there you go. Maybe it's in their contract to be caught on camera in the most suggestive and compromising pictures possible.

Now I am sad for lack of Kaká/Ronaldo in the POR/BRA game. Maybe they'll show them hugging it out after the game though!

[x-amadare.livejournal.com]

Oh god I know right? I have RL people to celebrate football with, but LJ? I'm glad I have you! You're absolutely right! I really can't think of any other country that could care less >_>

Yeah! It kind of reminds me of those eye drop commercials Hankyung and KAT-TUN did a couple years ago lol!

It sure feeds the imagination doesn't it? *___*

Oh I can't wait for /that/ :D!

[nittle-grasper.livejournal.com]

What is actually going on in that picture with that guy's hand up Gerrard's shorts?? In what situation would that actually legitimately happen? o_O;;

Aaaah Gourcuff is so beautiful. I think of all the players, he wins the Most Like a Male Model award. THOSE BOTTOM EYELASHES, shit. I'd totally have that dopey expression Ronaldo has from that macro too.

Also, I am liking Kaka more and more. He just seems so CUTE, I want to give him a hug. And the end of that interview where they high-five each other made me flail. ADORABLE <333 Kaka seems so nice, how is he BFFs with a diva like Ronaldo??

Okay also...Rooney is 24? Seriously? With the balding, he totally looks 30+ @_@;;

And lastly, what is that last gif of Torres from? It looks like that one BSB video! But his hair is A+ in that <3

[meiface.livejournal.com]

NO ONE KNOWS about that picture. It is just suggestive and compromising and hilarious for no reason. At least that's how I'm looking at it. Either that or I'm going to start making up reasons in my head and it will devolve into a soap opera. (It's possible it's some sort of physio thing? Idk, this picture (http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4296/100346528.jpg) of a trainer with Gourcuff also makes me lol.)

haha I love how Kaká and Ronaldo name each other as the best player they've played against and with; it's cute. But really that makes me wonder: Kaka´, haven't you seen the way Ronaldo dives? C'mon now.

Poor Rooney, it must suck to have unfortunate hair genetics... Yet for some strange reason he doesn't annoy me like Landon Donovan does. I don't think it's just the hair, despite what my guy friend is trying to tell me ("You just don't like Donovan because he's not pretty!"). But god forbid I have opinions he doesn't agree with, idek.

No idea where the last Torres gif is from - a friend linked me. Probably another ad? He's cute in this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cDoBXR9i8M). I approve of the hair. :D

[forochel.livejournal.com]

AKLJSDLJG HAHAHAHAHAHA EVERY TIME I SEE THAT NANDO GIF I START CRYING WITH LAUGHTER.


(OT: Somebody stop me from writing footballer slash; I'm writing Akame, I swear.)

I'M SORRY, WHY WOULD ANYONE BE STOPPING YOU? HELLO? THE WORLD REQUIRES STEVIE/EVERYONE FIC.


Yoann has GENJYO SANZO DROOPY EYES. I just thought I should point this out.

And you do realise the JT + Lampard photo is just a matter of angle, right? XD


...ok brb loling at Torres. AGAIN. oh god.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Of course it's just the angle, but how compromising it looks! It must be in their contracts to get caught on camera in as many suggestive poses as possible. :D

...the Stevie picture has no excuse though. I don't think angle can excuse the hand blatantly up his shorts.

ahahaha Nando. DID YOU KNOW HE KNOWS A LOT ABOUT HORSES (http://conlaroja.wordpress.com/2010/06/23/fernando-torres-el-pais-qa/)? And hippos. But not politics. Or the name of Chile's captain.

[papered.livejournal.com]

.... I'VE NEVER SEEN A PICTURE OF KAKA UNTIL NOW. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME HE WAS CUTE. (ALSO, YOANN WHOEVER'S EYES. ... NO, I AM NOT SHALLOW AT ALL.)

ALSO ;______; AT THE CLIP YOU EMBEDDED RIGHT AFTER, I WATCHED IT FOR NO REASON AND PFFFT THE ENDING IS SO CUTE. THE BEST-PLAYER QUESTIONS, ROLLS.

[papered.livejournal.com]

http://izismile.com/img/img2/20090401/sporno_35.jpg <--- ALSO LMFAO /IS THREE

[meiface.livejournal.com]

aww my last post also has more pics of Kaká! He has a babyface, really. And aww yes his BFFery with diva Ronaldo entertains me asndgldfj. Really cute how they are all giggly at each other.
