I had so much hassle trying to find a working Inter stream that I skipped this match. And, predictably, it was much better than Inter's. *Grumble grumble*
1. I like to think that this billboard says "Matchpants." Also, I thought Gila was Pazzo. *Erects Angua umbrella* 2. The Brazilian flag guy is back! He must have been so sad when Melo left, and SO STOKED when Felipe turned up. XD!!! 3. Cesare: "DDV told me brown shoes go with black pants! Why does everyone question my sense of style?" The fourth official's expression just makes this picture and comment. XD 4. What a delicate little creature Felipe is. (PS what happened to Bonazzoli? Is he still alive?) 5. Monty, as always, went the whole way in the midfield. Ah, if only that was a euphemism. 6. Corners of Majestic Precision I like it. *Shoots you with fingers* 7. Krol took it incredibly well -- where the hell did that finishing come from? HA! *Pumps fist triumphantly
( ... )
Aw, no! Did you miss everything Inter? I accidentally found a fantastic Russian stream on which the guy took great pleasure in saying "oooh la la" every time Paddy walked by. (If it's any consolation, all the Viola streams I could find were horrific.)
1. LOL. I hope the Matchpants people proudly put that photo on their website. 3. *chortles* The guy looks like an annoyed PE teacher. (And brown shoes don't go with black pants, do they? I know my dress sense is bad, but that just seems wrong
( ... )
I saw intermittent flashes of Inter, but irritatingly ancient_bat's stream was much better than mine despite her antediluvian computer. She not only saw Lucio hoofing Pelissier in the pods but had a commentary that said "Oh, dear, Lucio's given him a kick in the bollocks - don't think it was on purpose, like..." I was extremely jealous.
1. Let's face it, Viola are the perfect team to advertise that sort of product. 3. He looks like Gary Lineker to me; I said that before and you disagreed violently, and this is probably the same guy. (THOSE shoes don't go with anything. And neither do those trousers, actually; Cesare obviously isn't concerned with fashion, which only makes me like him more.) 4. Oh, dear, I didn't even notice him leaving... 7. Well, I like him more than everyone else, scary moustache and all. XD 8. XD My current project is something much sillier than that, but I'll keep it in mind. 9. It's reassuring to know that the Matchpants work at both ends.
LOLOL I am exaggerating not at all when I tell you that they probably showed 30 replays of Lucio kicking Pellissier in the balls, from every possible angle. It was absurd.
3. Well we can agree that the expression is somewhat Linekerian -- that's something. (I bet he's just extremely superstitious -- no one wears one outfit so often by accident. He could be as attached to his pants (so to speak, I hope) as Mutu is!) 4. Well, he left over the summer, don't feel too bad about it. 9. Felipe's eyes must have been big as saucers the first time he put them on. "We've not got anything like this in Udine!"
11. Not to make you nervous or anything, but several Romanians are eyeing you. *Interested* Is Romanian attention worse than other types? Maybe it needs a slogan, like a "Romanians do it better" car sticker... I dunno, "Romanians use their teeth"? 12. Awww, it's nice Santana found a fellow nutter! 13. He's so cute, even the coach of the other team pats him on the head. 14. AWWWWW SECOND OLD!TP!! Except that Santana's not old. But still! Is there something about grey hair that encourages glomping? 15. AAAAND KIAI. (Do judoka kiai? Anyway, it looks as if Pasqual's just violently hurled Gila to the ground.) 16. Shameless hussy17. I want to wax lyrical about Gila's goal, but I don't know what any of the right words are. But he's damned right about it being amazing, and it's against all the stereotypical expectations of what a "great" goal should be, because you expect quite a lot of sound and fury and the ball to go in at 200mph. This, meanwhile, requires technical analysis and extremely fine judgement and is presumably more difficult

11. Well, possibly, but you'd know that better than I. Honestly, I think Santana would be nervous knowing any two people were eying him. 12. What the hell is Donadel trying to do, do you think? Kick him? 13. (That coach kept making me think of James May. He doesn't look that must like him, but they share an air of great suffering
( ... )
11. Awww, bless. XD (Are you sure you're not reading things into his personality that aren't there?) 12. He's dancing like a gonk, of course! 13. Talk to the hand Ruby. The coach isn't THAT ugly. 14. XD Well, come on. Special's a bit too small and irate. (What about Beppe, anyway?) 15. XD It just looks like a judo throw to me. 17. I think it was, yes. We seem to repeat our conversations in an infinite loop. And Pippo's got a lot to answer for; I'm sure it was him who taught Gila to goal-hang, and everyone at Milan to not smile. (Though, obviously, the goal-hanging paid off, so perhaps we'll have to forgive him to some extent.)
11. (Oh, I'm 100% sure I am, I just can't stop. *g*) 14. (AW. I bet he'd accept a glomp with his usual aplomb -- I bet he even handed them out, now and again, back in the day.) 17. lol Sorry. I think the next step is you telling it back to me, because I've jammed it so deep in your head to think maybe it's a reasonable thought. And I am SO NOT SURPRISED the lack of smiling is Pippo's fault! Storari and Ronaldinho must be very careful to avoid him.
Gila is delighted, I'm sure! *g* And, yeah, I recognized him right away -- I was wondering what he was thinking about the whole thing when it was about 4-0.
The Italian thing of using the word "party" in signs to be clever cracks me the hell up. Is there a really obvious cultural reference I'm missing? Cos if I've seen/read "No Sneijder, no party" once, I've heard it 104940 times.
What I love is your amazing ability to ignore Gila climbing all over everyone else, and brushing off Mutu to go hug that staff guy after his second goal. :p Though I suppose I'm sort of the opposite, so I shouldn't be throwing stones that are TOO big. &hearts
lol Not that we'd know indeed. Though Cheryl's right, he does seem to get an amazing amount of joy when other people do good things! And god only knows he needs that, since his own achievements only make him miserable. He's a complicated man, that Gila. At least, I hope he is.
