So we traveled to the "frozen tundra" on Thursday in our Europa League game against CSKA Moscow. While we weren't doing touristy things, like visiting monuments and buying cool fuzzy hats as souvenirs, we were loosing terribly. We lost the game 3 - 1 *insertRosadfacehere*. One would think that maybe if they didn't have as much fun sight seeing if we'd have had a better game? I know I'm just trying to blame our latest suckfest on anything.
Gamecast When we first got there, they all went shopping for matching fuzzy hats.
Miccoli: Does this hat make my butt look big?
Me: *headdesk*
Miccolito was so in his element.
Although for the others, the cold got old real fast.
However, Noce and Balzaretti decided to hop off the bandwagon, and go with the traditional beanie.
These two decided to take a stroll through the Red Square.
Kid who looks like Bobby Ray from 'Sweet Home Alabama': Heeeee! He put his arm around me!
It's so hard to tell who is underneath all those layers, but whoever it is, he's bringing one of the hats home. Perhaps matching hats for him and the misses?
Later:
Balzaretti, his hair, and Delio Rossi made a press conference appearance.
Balzaretti: I would like to announce that I will be cutting my hair
Fangirls everywhere: *collective squeal of approval*
You just can't win with these two together.
Delio: Hmmm, I wonder if I make Zampa disappear if anyone will notice....
On to Training we go:
Sadly this is the only picture I got of mah bb. :(
I at first thought he was smoking, but then I realized that it was just him exhaling. O_o I don't think I would survive there.
Miccolito: AND STRETCHHHHH!
Miccolito decided to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a Rockettes. Sadly I had to break it to him, that he was neither tall enough or the right gender.
Don't they all just look so thrilled?
Ugh...you again.
And now in no particular order game time:
Look how clean they look...I wonder what detergent they use.
So Noce got two yellows...
...And was sent off...
...but not before being told to go make some hot chocolate.
Captain Miccolito tried his hardest.
But it just wasn't our day. :(
Delio paced back and forth, wondering if the Russian government could help with the trigger finger happy Zampa.
Out of their celebration pics, I'm only including this one...because of the tummy flash. :P
Pinilla was once again all over the place.
Fighting with everything he had.
If only everyone had his drive.
Glik: RAWRRR!
Vagner Love: AHHH!!
Balzaretti: I believe I can fly! I believe...
ME: BALZA NOW IS NOT THE TIME!!
Glik: Um...excuse me could you please remove your elbow from my face.
Big Mac & Cheese was our only goal scorer.
Little Kasami wanted to get a part of Big Mac...
...As did the rest of the boys.
Nicola Rigoni = <3 <3
His compression shorts = >:(
Is that a tear in his shorts?! THOSE VULTURES!
Sergio Garcia: OH THE HORROR!
After the game there were a lot of Sad!Pandas:
Me: Hey Bovo, could you please not touch Miccolito?
THE FAILURE STOPS NOW!
