The Slippery-Sergio-Slope-Effect - Sergio Ramos: Trendsetter
Picking Up Yellow Cards
I was watching the following video this morning when it occurred to me: perhaps our marvellously tacky defender really is a trend-setter - a world-wide trendsetter in more ways than one. A trendsetter whose influence overcomes club rivalry, nationality - everything really.

Note: Pique's knee-sock pulling-up technique. Looks familiar? Here's why -
How to get a red card in style!
And it got me thinking about all the ways in which Sergio Ramos is a trend-setter!
From The Sergio Ramos School Of How To Celebrate Winning A Trophy In Style
Ever since the Copa-del-drunk fuckery of last year there is now only one way the cool kids could possibly celebrate winning a trophy. It's like, all the rage - right across Europe!
But first - let me stir fond memories -

Anyway, the kids at Ajax were so impressed with this that they promptly threw their trophy under the bus a week later -

Bus-driver fail!
As you can see, they didn't quite manage it correctly, since the bus didn't run over it. Never mind! Practice makes perfect!
World Cup Key-chains, Tattoos & Stuff.
It just so happens that Sergio also has a key-chain in the shape of the World Cup - a key-chain he is fond of taunting Sami Khedira with. Here's a direct quote from one of Sami Khedira's interviews:
"I want a trophy just like that on my key-chain."
See? Even the least tacky of our players is falling under the Sergio Ramos spell! It remains to be seen whether Sami intends to get a tattoo to match his key-chain like the one Sergio now has adorning his lower-leg. We will keep you posted on that!

General Fashion
Star-struck next-door neighbour Mesut Ozil thinks Sergio Ramos is, like, so well dressed! An absolute fashion icon!
I've posted the pics before, but they fit in too well with the general theme of this post (and the more minor theme of innocent German player corruption) -
And yes, I realize the picture above isn't too awful, but one has to consider the "slippery-Sergio-slope effect" which was in evidence last summer -
Yup - they match!
It's a good thing Mesut never met Guti. He'd be prancing around town in a feather boa!
"Come on, you'd look even cuter with a tattoo!"
Anyway - that's all the evidence I can think of off-hand. Feel free to remind me of anything I've missed.
