Oh fuckin' hell, here we go again...
I am sick. Yes, I know, AGAIN and still. My throat is sore, my nose is always runny and I sound like a freight train when I sneeze. In other words, I have a cold. I think that also explains why I was so tired during lunch on Wednesday, Rose.
*shakes head* Bloody hell, I've barely recovered from the stomach flu, at least give me some time before striking me down again!
HOWEVER. I am taking a shitload of medications and getting lots of rest and water so that I can be somewhat recovered for tomorrow. Nothing is going to stop me from spending my afternoon traipsing in Little Italy. So take that, evil cold bacteria!
All right, enough whining. Let's talk footie now.
THIS WAS THE BEST AND MOST NERVE-WRACKING CHAMPIONS' LEAGUE EVER!!!!
*takes a deep breath* I realized when it was over that I was interested in all 8 matches that were played because they all concerned at least one team that I cared about. (Or, in Inter's case, a team that I cared to see them lose. Which they did, hehe.) Here they are, in no particular order: In bold are the teams that are advancing to the next round
Valencia vs Inter: 0-0
INTER IS OUT. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
And that stupid brawl. Bah. *shrugs* It's a shame that it came to a broken nose.
I love that Zlati tried to separate the fighting players. *squishes her favorite Bosnia-Croatia-born Swede*
Oh Zlatan, first you agree to go back to the National Team and now this. *kisses him*
As long as you don't score too much in the derby on Sunday, my love for you shall be rekindled.
Erm, guys, are you fighting here or making goo-goo eyes at each other? Because an Ayala/Canizares/Ibra threesome? HAWT. I'm not a big fan of Argies, but I make an exception for Ayala and Pablo Aimar. *dreamy sigh*
Now, if only Inter would lose a few dozens of points in Serie A as well...
Chelsea vs Porto: 2-1
I'm very, very, very slowly coming out of my Chelski-lethargy. I'm still not feeling quite into the Blues as I used to, but it's a bit better now. However, the urge to swat Frankie whenever I see him hasn't diminished in the slightest. *swats*
Micha scored, Sheva glomped him and Dark OTP shippers all over the world happily sighed in unison.
LOLOL. Oh Micha. Sometimes, you make faces that just make me go o.O
This, on the other hand....a;skjflkasdjf;askdjfaslkdf....
SHEVA! ♥ ♥ ♥
Arjen scored too and was also very happy.
Okay, let's try this again:
Chelsea's captain Frank Lampard, left... *SWAT*
Oh Frankie. I fell asleep on his pillow earlier today and I'm not too happy about that. I'm going to officially banish him to my closet for awhile, although I'll be nice and buy the JT pillow tomorrow so that they can keep each other company. Yeah, I think I'll do that.
AS Roma vs Olympique Lyon: 2-0
Capitano Totti doing his thumb-sucking celebrating. Perrotta is *so* making a run for him, lol.
Chivu's bloody nose is just a little bit scary. Good thing there's Mexxy there to take care of his boyfriend distract us.
The Romans were very happy, and so was I, for that I'll be looking forward to seeing them do all their crazy antics in the next round. *grins*
Liverpool vs Barcelona: 0-1
See, this is one of the reasons why I love Champions' League. Not just because of the international coming together of the pretty, or the ridiculously hot Chelsea black kits, but also because of the away-goal rule. I like it. It adds a little edge to the games.
Yay, the Reds are through to the next round!
I don't care how bad the angle is, if a picture has both Xabi and Stevie, then I'll post it.
Oooh, Dirky is flashing some leg here! *tries not to perv on other's husbands*
Not that I'm complaining about the view or anything, but why does Xabi always end up being kicked to the ground?
Deco + Stevie = prettiness all over the place.
And those Barca jerseys....*facepalm* I have no words, just *facepalm* again and again. They're even worse than those horrid yellow Livey away ones. What are they trying to do, compete with a highlighter?
PSV Eindhoven vs Arsenal: 1-1
Awww, this puts a real damper into this so-far great CL round. *sniffles* I'll miss all the Arse (put intended)in the games.
Poor Titi. *is sad with him*
*sighs*
On a happier note, here are Denilson and Adebayor celebrating PSV's own goal:
Don't be shy Arsene, join in!
FREDDIE!
CESC!
Oh, these boys will be sorely missed in the CL. *pouts*
Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid: 2-1
Arg, the dilemma of the week. On one hand, I'm glad that Bayern's through and that there's at least one German team still left in the CL, but at the same time, it's Real. *whines* Pretty, slashy Real with his stable of players I like...
And I still don't understand how a goal can be scored in TWENTY SECONDS.
Oh well, at least Ruud did his thing and scored a goal for his team. *snuggles him* He never gets enough credit.
After Lucio scored the second goal for Bayern, well, pretty much all hell broke loose (in a good way):
Salihamidzic is demonstratedly very pleased with his teammate. *ahem*
Ollie did some typically Kahn-esque celebrating of his own, whatever that is...
..while the Madristas were not pleased at all. Awww.
Schweini! I wonder where Lukas could be...
Holy Maldini Lukas is in the best goddamn position ever! Sergio-Poldi-M.Torres sandwich, anyone?
It doesn't look like Schweini minds too much...
...here he is with Sergio...
...and here with Miguel...
...and even with Fernando Gago! My, my, Schweini, you sure get around... *giggles*
Owen!!! Dueling with Capitano Raulito here. *approves*
It's really too bad that Sergio's goal got disallowed. I mean, c'mon ref, he's a freakin' defender, let him score once in a while!
WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THE BLOODY NOSES???! o.O
CANNA!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ *koala-glomps him* Aaah, he looks good in a suit, doesn't he?
More Canna pics, not from the match since he didn't play, but from the practice session the day before:
OMM HE IS SO FREAKIN' CUTE! Real Madrid's Fabio Cannavaro of Italy carries a net of soccer balls during a training session... Awwwwww....
Happily corrupting the youth, aka Gago in this case. HRS really takes his title seriously! *loves him even more*
Manchester United vs Lille: 1-0
Thank you Henrik, for saving our(?) asses.
Ronnie assisted with that goal, so pretty close-up of him!
Unfortunately, the boy also got booked for diving. Again. *headdesk*
Honey, I think it's time to come up for some new cutesy faces. The ref has already seen this "Please-don't-I-bed-you-don't-make-me-cry" one. *sighs and slaps him on the head*
OI, IT'S SMUDGE!
Wazza in action. Sure looks like he recovered from the knee injury he sustained last time...
Awww, you're so cute sometimes Wayney-poo! *squishes him*
And he sure can jump too!
LOL, watch out, it's a gaggle of Manny Utddy geese being led off the pitch!
And finally, last but in no way least:
AC Milan vs Celtic: 1-0
THANK YOU RICKY. AND THANK YOU GOD.
Please never leave again. *clutches*
Our hero. *swoons*
God bless. We are now through to the next round. All hope is not lost. ♥
Aww, he's so happy! And it's been a while since we've seen him this happy too...
Needless to say, everybody went crazy as soon as the goal was scored and the whistle blown:
MANPILE! Brocchi, of course, finds himself on top...*rolls eyes* (Stop looking, Ricky isn't even buried somewhere in there, lol.)
Erm...Ricky is a nice boy who loves his coach very much?
A nice hug from Seerdorf and another one waiting to come from Sleepy.
Puppy!Gila and Puppy!Ricky love! Oh, and that blur coming towards them is Rino.
See? Awww, they are all so cute and adorable and loveable...♥
OMFM His Holyness even allowed Ambrosini to glomp him! *is slightly worried for that neither is very young anymore*
Some more pics from the game:
*GASP* Oh, watch it there you Celtic player *looks up name* Gravesen...
Rino battling for the ball. Why, hello there, thighage...
Ouch. DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY SLEEPY!
Ah, much better. Me likey Sleepy. A lot. *pets*
I haven't forgotten you, Massimo. Hmm.
More Paolo. Because there can never be enough pictures of Him.
My God I love my team. ♥
Okay, that was exhausting. *drops dead on her bed*
I hope that people actually reply to this...
*shakes head* Bloody hell, I've barely recovered from the stomach flu, at least give me some time before striking me down again!
HOWEVER. I am taking a shitload of medications and getting lots of rest and water so that I can be somewhat recovered for tomorrow. Nothing is going to stop me from spending my afternoon traipsing in Little Italy. So take that, evil cold bacteria!
