Have a wonderful time in Paris! Hopefully, we'll hear of your adventures? :)

Also echoing your thoughts on Liverpool, Barça, and Villarreal (a club I have a soft spot for because of Santi, Capdevila and Senna, as well as their amazing Christmas video, so it's not just because they're going up against RM or whatever /FAILED ATTEMPT TO BE ~MATURE). And if Hodgson isn't fired by the weekend, I think we're stuck with him and his blame game post-match comments. Sigh. Lately, watching Liverpool matches has been bad for my posture, what with all the crawling into a fetal position as the clock ticks.

Jumping in to say in response to this--

--pfft, oh man, do I ever feel you there. Only in my case, it's accompanied by clawing at my face helplessly in horror.

LOL. Hopefully, I'll still be able to LOL (genuinely, not caustically or out of gallows humor) after the Man Utd. match of doom/gloom/rage/frustration/disappointment/embarrassment. Clutching my rosary, hoping for an upset, etc. for that match. Seriously, at the moment, being a culé and a Red is so bad for my emotional health, what with the weekly emotional whiplash. Highs and lows, indeed. But I cannot stop watching.

Oh, do I feel you. I have honestly lost count of the number of times I've said this season, "Thank God for Barca" and meant it so much. I remember the weekend of el Clasico was basically a clusterfuck, football-wise--Liverpool lost, my backup EPL team either lost or drew, can't remember, and I needed a Barca win so bad, but wasn't convinced (then, at least) that I'd even get it. Hahaha. Little did I know. I'm kind of glad that match came last, it meant I could ride the high for a little while longer before crashing back down to earth.

thank you! if there are any adventures worth reporting, I'll let y'all know. :)

oh man Santi is the most adorable ever. and I'm kind of attached to Giuseppe Rossi despite knowing nothing about him because he got into a Twitter snit and then was mature enough to realize he'd said something wrong and apologize. that's unusual. (plus, "mamma mia!" with accompanying eyeroll. hee!)

Santi and Silva are La Roja's cutest badasses. Like, they will throw down, no problem, and probably win against someone as tall as Zlatan or even Crouchie (then again, I could probably take spindly Crouchie).

What was the Rossi Twitter snit about?

[identity profile] meretricula.livejournal.com 2011-01-10 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
hee! true that. tbh I don't even remember what de Rossi was saying, just that he used an offensive term (it might have been a gay slur? I really can't remember) and that he actually came on twitter later and said he was sorry and he knew that what he'd said was unacceptable. in an ideal world nobody would screw up but I respect people who have the balls to come out in public and say, I know I fucked up, I'm sorry and I'll try to do better.
