fly this flag for you one last time

Knockout stages:

- Korea 1-2 Uruguay
- USA 1-2 Ghana

My thoughts: it was really sad to see Korea play so well and still manage to get eliminated. :( At least they put up a strong showing, though I guess that doesn't mean as much at the end of the day, because they're still going home. Ghana out-played the US, end of story. USA managed to do pretty well in the 2nd half of the normal period but fell through in extra time. It's disappointing because it would've been nice to see them advance and play other countries, and as much as it annoys me personally how much ESPN hypes the USMNT's achievement, they really do deserve their time in the spotlight considering the shit they usually get at home (because no one cares about soccer) as well as abroad (because no one takes the US seriously). Oh well, though. I'm also happy for Ghana because yay for Africa representation. I'm not sure how they'll do against Uruguay but hoping for the best!

I have had a shitty and exhausting day so forgive the lack of flailing and incoherency - or maybe we should be grateful for that? I'm reserving energy to freak out and be completely ridiculously stressed by tomorrow's England v. Germany game.

In much more terrifying news, you will be shocked and appalled (or maybe not shocked, just appalled, or maybe you'll just be laughing forever) but, um, this is what I just wrote. Mind, I am sleep-deprived and ill-feeling. Is that a justification? There can be no justification!


Yes, your mockery may follow.

The worst thing about the way Ronaldo can never stop looking at Kaká is how oblivious the other man is. Nudity doesn't even deserve a second thought in the showers, so commonplace they might as well blush and demand privacy from the media. The paparazzi is always going to be after them for a story and the team showers with each other, side-by-side, face tilted towards the tile and not towards each other - it's the way of life, as much part of the routine as sweat dripping down his back and grass burns along his knees.

It didn't start off anything more than a sort of platonic, aesthetic appreciation. Kaká is a brilliant footballer, quick and creative on his feet. His body is just another part of that, long and lean. And for all that he hides it away under the layers, never the exhibitionest that Ronaldo is, more modest than Ronaldo's ever dreamed of being - even Kaká doesn't give a second thought to stripping down with the team. It feels like a privilege of sorts to be able to steal long looks under the mist of the shower, glimpses of tan skin under the water, toned and trim from years of constant physical demands. It feels - more, somehow. More special, more meaningful, because it's Kaká, not just anyone else. Ronaldo's seen his fair share of skin from his teammates, from opponents on the pitch, from the warm bodies he coaxes kisses and low moans from in the shadows of clubs - but a glimpse of Kaká's skin is like a gift.

He can't help his staring, stolen looks lingering longer and longer, growing more blatant as he puts a hand on the tile in front of him and slides his gaze sideways. He never gets caught. Kaká is just so damned un-self-conscious. So unaware.


It would continue to Ronaldo staring more and more and realizing his interest is more than just platonic or aestheic, blah blah blah, Kaká continues to be oblivious and super Christian, and Ronaldo is all FML, let me sex up a bunch of women and possibly men to distract myself, and lots of super-cute BFFery in the meantime that is kind of driving him crazy because Kaká is, well, Kaká and thus very religious, very sweet, all good-hearted despite his joking (and Ronaldo's bad influence) and oh my god, did Ronaldo forget to mention? Fucking married. And Ronaldo, idk, keeps being a playboy and Kaká gets somewhat concerned and kind of curious and uh...joins him sometimes? And when Ronaldo is drunk he makes bad decisions like pushing himself up agaist Kaká in the dark clubs and whispering (filthy) Portuguese in his ear and talks about fucking this girl or that girl and speculates on how Kaká might fuck them (but always steering clear of ever mention Kaká's wife, idk, there is a line, okay? Even playboy douchebags who fancy their straight married innocent best friends can respect that, or so Ronaldo tells himself) and........somehow it ends up with lots of UST and sex? AND THEN EPIC LOADS OF RECRIMINATION AND GUILT AND ANGST.

Also Sernando (http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_football/2352317.html?thread=224867773#t224867773), kind of cute but still DNW. Too biased already, oh dear.

OH MY GOD FUCK YOU maybe I should just start it with them in a dark bar or something (must research how bars and stuff work in Madrid ugh research, must insert bad Spanish/Portuguese aslgkhfj) because the rest of the build-up will take AGES. Slip it in via flashback or something...

... I AM JUDGING YOU.

Kaká continues to be oblivious and super Christian, and Ronaldo is all FML, let me sex up a bunch of women and possibly men to distract myself, and lots of super-cute BFFery in the meantime that is kind of driving him crazy because Kaká is, well, Kaká and thus very religious, very sweet, all good-hearted despite his joking (and Ronaldo's bad influence) and oh my god, did Ronaldo forget to mention?

WHATEVER YOUR JUDGMENT ROLLS OFF ME LIKE WATER OFF A DUCK'S BACK. Or some other simile!

akdghfj isn't the idea just smoking hot? Why does it require so much writing though? I should just start with a PWP or something. Or crackfic. Omg Sheeeeeeeenaaa, why is this my life. :[

ME TOO! I don't know why it doesn't already exist! I don't want to write it, really, I just want to read it but if no one else is going to write it... :( :( :(

I also want to write Gerrard/Torres omg must make another flaily post about them soon! But first to freak out about the Germany v. England game. /STRESS

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
I concur with the consensus. I may judge you, but I want more.

AHAHAHA RONALDO. Of course he consoles himself with sex.

*hugshugs* I hope your sleep is better tonight :)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
My sleep was still sort of meh, though slightly better than last night. :/ I suspect I will nap aggressively between the games today. Gotta do something about lunch too, hmm. But thank you. ♥

Ughhh writing more requires learning more about Real Madrid and...everything... Can't I just wish this fic into existence instead of writing it? lol

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Nap aggressively! How cute :) and how I wish I could nap.

Well. You could ignore that and just write porn. *is helpful*

....and then I read your icon >.>

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Why can't you nap? D:

hehe despite that icon, which entertains me in its irony because I am all about the porn, I really may just take you up on that suggestion. Nothing to ease my way into a new fandom like a PWP, right? 8D

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I find it very difficult to go back to sleep once I'm awake. Unless I'm very sick or very sleep deprived, no nap time for me. Even though I might long for it. It is very sad.

I've done it before, so... *encourages*

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww I'm sorry to hear that. ): I guess the best thing to do is just try for a steady and healthy nighttime sleep schedule?

askgkfjsdk sorry will be AWOL freaking out at the England v. Germany match now. Oh dear.

[identity profile] meritjubet.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Most likely. Though it doesn't help I'm not a morning person. Normally it takes around an hour or so to go to sleep, even if I got less than six hours of sleep the night before. Sometimes two. Next semester I have some evil 8am classes *shivers*

I understand. Go England! :D

siiiiiiiiiiigh, look where I've ended up, fml.

Indeed. :( Oh US, I really wish they could've pushed on just a little farther, carried the dream for a little longer. Especially since so many on this year's WC team are probably too old to come back for the 2014 one.

okay, yes, [livejournal.com profile] footballslash exists, but most of it is shit and there are 2 or 3 big pairings that get all the fic AND THIS PAIRING IS NOT ONE OF THEM, WHY. And my other OTP Gerrando is not one of them either. /distress!

START THE FIC REVOLUTION MEI!

(an author i liked for fs had some good roger/rafa fics and i cautiously read with the anxiety that i would get sucked in... but i didn't. DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM THAT I'M NOT SLASHING ANYONE IN TENNIS? for some reason it makes me less guilty for shallowly slashing the naked men you've been posting--whose names aren't registering to me at all.)

[identity profile] meiface.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
ahaha omg I think the closes I ever got to Roger/Rafa was liking one icon where they were holding each other. @_@ That is weirder for me I think because tennis is just...not as touchy-feely a team sport as football.

hehe you should at least keep track of the names! Then you can talk like you know football! ...or at least the attractive ones. ;)

[identity profile] ch-ar-me.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
a very detached sport, i think. exhibition matches fuel slashing but... idk. it doesn't work for me thank god.
