Some pics, mostly of Valencia "training"
Jumping rope
Shooting hoops. (As you can see, Mori has a bit of an advantage here.)
Mori: *frets* "It's not on right! How can we play proper b-ball when the net's not on right!"
(Why are Moretti's legs so pale!)
Del Horno! You call that defense?
Is that Zigic in the foreground nearly bent in half? Dammit, man, don't stoop to their level!
*sigh* Vicente's got the right idea, but Mori's shorts are too long. (If Vicente won the ball, that's why.)
The Misters calculating how much morale has been raised by the frivolous activities. :p
Followed by a break to show off the legs.
A knowing twinkle in his eyes. :p
Little known fact, Mori has a (very reluctant) blue belt in Valencian martial arts.
Which consists of jumping over rods while men in suits watch, as Vicente demonstrates
Clearly this is black belt type activity. Also, they both have tattoos on their right ankles.
*cough* Curro Torres. Those weights are a physical manifestation of all the ankles he's kicked over the years.
Couple of Atleti v Madrid photos
*pets Kun* Who does not look like Éver Banega, OMG, Roy Hudson do not try to excuse yourself for that little mix-up!
This was such a wtf! moment. Not that Ruud would commit a nasty foul, but that a ref would red card him for performing it on Maniche. He is the angry prairie dog! He goes out kicking and shoving people and baring his little rodent teeth at them! More than Ruud does. :p
Ruud's expulsion did keep the scoreline down though.
And one pic of Spain's NT
Still don't approve of this :/ (pic grabbed from ontd_football)
Somebody starts up the conveyor belt, you can lose a whole team that way. Serve 'em right if somebody else claims them as luggage. (Also, how pained does Villa look to have to have this phone conversation next to Cesc and Santi? If he's talking to his wife and/or daughter having the standard "Daddy loves you and misses you and I'll be home soon" conversation, shame on them for laughing! Tee hee hee.
