four sides and an image.
Here, a small selection of my favorite photos from the match, the celebrations, and the aftermath. My great weakness is that no matter who wins, I will always look at the photos, the material rendering of unfettered joy -- the wild eyes and crazed limbs and colors and lights, the greatest sustained explosion in the world.

there's a fire starting here.
Thoughts on a final that I did not watch:
- Fernando Torres's effect is that of necessary wartime encryption, like Enigma -- what I feel about him is a scramble of delight and wariness, wracked with historical animosity, yes, but also judgement weighted by fan positivism. It's still difficult, but I'm glad to be learning.
- Less problematic for me is ( Read more... )

He's a vampire. He probably likes it kinky.
Out of the 50gazillion+ photos I've waded through today, this one has to be my favorite:

Oh my goddddddd Sergio Ramos has been undressed and possibly halfway flogged at least five times so far this game. Old Onion-balls has been criticizing Puyol and Marchena for their positioning, but they wouldn't have nearly as many problems if Ramos didn't keep losing his man ( Read more... ) -

Anyway, I have a few training pictures.

that was unexpectedly pleasant.
1. Aw, Raul and Zizou's love fest. They're such legends, it kills me. For some reason, Zidane wearing fugly boots in his last competitive tournament ever makes me extremely sad ( Read more... ) -
"I only ask these players to make my life difficult."
So. I think Joaquin would have been a more exciting signing than Bellamy, but he might have been twice as expensive, so I'm still quietly confident about Bellamy. Although lord, how fucking good would it have been to have Joaquin on the right and Speedy on the left? Drool-worthy, even ( Read more... ) -
a lying liar.
My weakness for El Rey is stronger than I thought (Zau, your love for the man is rubbing off on me in the worst way possible).
( Select precious few pictures from Spain vs Tunisia. A nearly Torres-free zone. )
