So check it:
Fra has NEVER scored against Juventus in Turin. Until this match.
Ranieri has NEVER beaten Juventus as manager. Until this match.
And Roma haven't outscored Juventus in eight and a half years (last win was in '01). Until this match.
Most important thing though is that Roma are now FIVE points clear of Juve and are sitting comfortably in third place of the league table. Oh and the 11-match unbeaten streak is still lookin' good! Needless to say, the Roman-born Captains are very very pleased:
Alright, we'll begin with some training pics:
The World Cup champs were being BFFs in Trigoria:
LOL these two have been hanging out a lot *cough* Phone pals *cough*
Look for the DeLuca OTP
Frenchie's pissed DDR doesn't love him anymore lol (jk, they hold hands later♥)
Alright, onto match pix. Just barely 5 minutes into the match, Luca injured his calf and will be out for at least a month:
Fra had to come on despite having zero warm-up minutes. IDK why Rainman is freakin' amped about this, I was nervous as hell (Fra wasn't 100% match fit):
Tifosi were supportive of Checco. I just can't figure out why the hell they're begging Fra to get internet:
^Yeah tifosi. Fra definitely has broadband access. He just doesn't know how to work the modem.
Alright so the match was at a stalemate after the first half, then Juve scored the opener through Alessa. Then Fra equalized with a rigore, which totally tricked out on Gigi:
Checco making it 1-all:
Koalas arrived from the zoo:
('Sup Marchisio. LOL he was so bitchy♥)
Count the koalas:
And we wonder why Fra has a bad back? Totally Daniele's fault:
Yeah, DDR got to retain the armband even if Fra's on the pitch:
DDR to Fra: CAN I GET A HEADBUTT?! CAN I CAN I CAN I?!
Fra to DDR: If you must.
Headbutt of Love ♥
Aw, the Captains ♥
BONUS:
BIG version Mirketto: *prying DDR of off Checco*
Rehab Cassets: That's enough, Danie.
Gobz: Love me, love me, say that you love me. <-- no chance in hell.
I love how pissed Mirko is because DDR is being such a Checco hog lol
All I gotta say is: Hmm, euphoric ;)
BIG ASS version One word to the home crowd: Hush.
Ballsy, Checco. Though some would say "cocky" -- I don't really have a preference. :P
Mirko loves Fra's sense of pride:
You don't understand, this is Fra's FIRST EVER GOAL in Torino's Stadio Olimpico. This is EPIC.
These two need hairbrushes haircuts, STAT.
"Wrong team, Gio. You're supposed to hug the ones in zebra costumes."
Fra would only be affectionate with ONE Juventino:
And that's Gigi.
Fra: Thanks for getting sent off, Boofie. ILU!
Gigi: You owe me an ass tap. *booty smack*
DDR: YES! YES! Juve down to 10 men!
Gigi: Med staff, you got some sedatives over there? This one needs a shot, jussayin'
Gigi was sent off for coming out of his box to keep Riise from scoring off the breakaway, which would've guaranteed to put Roma in the lead 2-1. Was a risky move, but Gigi HAD to do it. Manninger came on for Gigi after he got a straight red.
So it looked like the match was going to end in a draw, but then in the 93rd minute, Pizarro launched an inch-perfect pass for Riise, who headed-in the game winner just a minute from time! ROMA effectively steal the match 2-1!
^I see Riise has been taking up ballet in his spare time.
My personal picks for MOTM:
^Riise for the last-gasp winner and for getting Buffon sent off. And Juan for being a freakin' FORTRESS in front of goal. (LOL and he got Marchisio to bitch out at him, aw!)
I love how my team loves to ~hold hands~ so much♥ (more on this later)
The Captain was elated:
"Where mah hos at?!"
So elated, in fact, that...
...that he felt compelled to get on top of Nico:
... and Juan:
(left ass: Nico's; middle: Juan; ho on the right: DDR)
LOL poor Juan, getting hounded by DDR and Nico (oh who am I kidding? YOU WISH YOU WERE JUAN!)
Ciro saw the shameless debauchery between the centre-backs and the Captain and just shook his head and went "DAMN"
^Gotta say, I'm luvin' the Prada specs, Ciro!
Yeah, it's still them: the CBs (Nico and Juan) with the Captain (Philou's jealous now.)
LOL Cassetti. Is this what they taught you in rehab? Cute.
Let's meet the most ~~passionate ones~~
^Passionate #1: Julio Sergio
Passionate #2: Nico
And of course, this one needs no introduction:
LOL he was like this the entire match; it kept me LOLing
This picture is just ♥♥♥ (especially the last two on the right)
At the end of the match, the Romanisti held hands and ran to their tifosi♥
Philou orchestrated that whole run, so qt!
♥♥♥ AggrOTP ♥♥♥
Still in THIRD, yay! (LOL I really thought we'd only be there for a week, phew!)
To close, I'll end with these two ~passionate ones~
This spam was brought to you by Nico piggy-backing Captain Danielino♥
They were
so all over each other, these two ;p
