FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \o/ \o/ \o/

This is beautiful, and hot! I love blushing Poldi. :DD

<3<3<3<3

[spdfg]

Heh thank you! Poldi pinks so easily that I couldn't resist! :D

[ifeelbetter]

So THAT'S how they're doing so well! :)

[spdfg]

I'd make a ball joke, but I think I've used up my quota :P

[exsequar]

And if they played a little tighter, a little brighter after that, shunting the ball back and forth between them with the largesse of lovers

I LOVE THIS SENTENCE.

"Ah, I see," Philipp nods when he's digested the news."Like the Spartans."

SO BLASE, PHILIPP. <3333

"Aesthetically," Loew says quellingly. "Just do it."

This. Is. So. Amazing.

Instead of the pacing and praying and muttering his boys are laughing and energised, and Luka and Schweini are necking in the corner like a pair of Greek statues come to life.

Best mental image of my WHOLE LIFE. *____*

It's not magic, but a simple question of mechanical engineering: if you want a machine to run smoothly, the first thing you need is the lube.

AND WITH THAT I AM SLAIN. OH MY GODDDD.

This is - this is PHENOMENAL. I can tell that you are quite the practiced writer - you have an amazing way with words, and make a ludicrous premise into a completely delightful romp! This is salacious without being dirty, and I love it so much. I don't think I'll be able to watch the beginning of a

What a wonderful compliment, thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked both the silly moments and the slightly sweeter ones, as I wasn't sure they would fit.

And YAY MANNSCHAFT indeed! And may there be many more delicious 4-0 matches. :D

[exsequar]

You're very welcome! Thank YOU for my very first foray into German footballer fic. ;) I loved how you scattered through a sense of real camaraderie and love - it helped to ground the whole thing and keep it from sounding like a caricature. Really, incredibly deft, and I would not object if you were to, say, write a continuation of this theme. ;) (If Arne were to join the fun, I would ALSO NOT OBJECT - I'm just sayin'.)

Can you believe we've scored FOUR TIMES EACH in THREE GAMES? Two of which were against international powerhouses? I'm still reeling, and there's STILL TWO GAMES TO GO! \o/

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOURNAMENT

THIS SO FUCKING MUCH

[spdfg]

THANK YOU!! :D

[sashatwen]

Bwahahaha. Must use soap to get the Özil at Crufts image out of my head.

This is epic! EPIC!!! I may love you forever now.

[spdfg]

Haha thank you! Oezil would probably be something sleeker, a cat or an otter maybe, but I couldn't resist the image of Loew having to sit through Crufts. :D

[sashatwen]

Hmm. I like the otter image. Thanks for that one. It also helps to cure me of the one I had, namely Özil with a bow-tie sitting very still while the judges inspect his teeth and posture. :-P

[spdfg]

Hah that's precious! Also, I've only just noticed, but your earlier hamster icon bears a striking resemblance to my Maradona one... :P
