•Captain Dainelli, rocking a black eye thanks to Osvi (He apologized right away, alright?!), was in the press room on Wednesday [video|audio]. He said positive things about the team's performance against Bologna, but also noted that people in Florence tend to get VERY EXCITED about a couple wins in a row (or VERY DEPRESSED after two losses), and

Didn't know Osvi was a violent one.

Did you watch the Bologna-Viola game? Man was an absolute ass. He was kicking everyone's ankles he could reach.

[angualupin]

I thought you had been there during that LR thread. That's why I was confused that you didn't realize Osvi was violent. Ungrateful little bitch.

Souvenir Clubbing will be selling them, milking the tifosi for everything they're worth.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I cannot get over that.

YAY FIREWORKS.

You know that's exactly what they were thinking, too.

Also, Melo + Monty + eating each other = love.

[bustedflush]

*heavy sigh* I'm trying not to think about how long ago they worked out this plan and shot the ads. (Or how much the shirts must cost, my god.)

It's going to be such a letdown when Melo ends up watching the whole match, but the build-up is absolutely AWESOME.

[angualupin]

And Adi must have been so pleased by the entire concept. (I'm loving Gambit's facial expression there. He's all, "look, he's my friend, ok? You do things like this for friends.")

I'm still confused why Monty wants to build a tunnel to escape him. Why not, say, run away? Or break his ankles? Or attempt to eat him back? Why stop in the middle of the pitch and start digging? Or is this some kind of Italian slang that we're totally unclear on?

[bustedflush]

Maybe it is slang. I hope it's slang. (I looked up "tunnel," hoping it unexpectedly would translate into something like "take flight" or "kick his Brazilian ass," but it was not to be. Very disappointing.)

God, there is so much to comment on here!

1. I LOVE the Melo/Monty interaction! They write better crackfic than we do!
2. *Does not mention Pazzo's dirty balls*
3. Are you saying Corvino does NOT have a beady eye?
4. It is Romanian! I've never seen anyone but the Romanians put fireworks on a cake. Thank God.
5. XDDD That red blob in the top right-hand corner of the cake transfer - it looks as if it's the "close" option on the pop-up window, and they just screencapped it along with the rest. I expect it's probably meant to be the Fiorentina logo... but it looks like the "close" option!!!
6. In fact, I've half a mind to send the whole thing in to Cake Wrecks. I won't, though - the owner is totally clueless about all sport, not just football, and the only earlier appearance of a footballer (a frankly bizarre effort with a semi-naked Ronaldo on it) was singularly unfortunate.
7. I am disturbed by the mirrors. Admittedly I played Silent Hill 4 recently, but nevertheless, they look like wobbly portals opening into another dimension

[bustedflush]

1. LOL I'm imagining them as old school video game characters, with a bright white Monty frantically digging as a pixel-y Melo runs toward him (and ridiculous electronic music plays).
3. I'm saying that's not his definite characteristic! Discerning eye would be much more apt.
4. Ah, so when Romanians say "cake" they mean "fireworks," then. *makes a note of it in order to avoid possibly dangerous invitations*
5. Hahahhaaa. I think it's the Fiorentina logo, too, but it does look like a window you can close. Perhaps it's a fancier cake than it looks ...
7. *is relieved never to have played that game*
9. *pat pat* Failure in those areas seems pretty standard for them, I don't think you're going to be able to bring them around, despite having fact and logic on your side.

[cheryl_bites]

1. THAT WOULD BE SO AMAZING. (And not particularly peculiar by 80s video game standards.) I wish I was a game designer so I could make it... I suppose I could make a Sim!Melo. *Makes note*
4. Well, you remember Lobby's, although that one looks much worse than it is because of his fiendish expression... really, they're lucky to have all their body parts intact.
7. You are completely correct in this assessment. I wasted eight hours of my life on it that I could have spent playing Dunga Digger II, or whatever that game would be called if only we could persuade someone to make it.

[bustedflush]

4. Lobby's cake is better, so I suppose that makes up for the fact that he only gets one measly firework.
7. YES! Dunga Digger! That's perfect! Oh, to be a video game designer.

[hoppipolla]

Oh Osvi. I still would like to kick your ass.

Monty + Melo = ♥ x 2000

Pazzo. :(. I'm glad he's doing well though!

Stupid school not letting me see photobucket. I will when I get home. I can't wait to see the pictures.

[bustedflush]

Cheryl's right, the two of them are like the weirdest crackfic, come adorably to life. (I added the 'adorable' part, but the description is still hers.)

It'll still be here when you get home, don't worry! <3

[hoppipolla]

I demand that someone write it. It would be wonderful.

Umm. The sad thing is, I'd wear that shirt. *hides*

[bustedflush]

And pay, what, like €60 for the privilege? You know it's obscenely expensive! I do like that it looks really soft, though.

[bustedflush]

1. For god's sake, he didn't do it on purpose!
2. *feeds him some soup*
4. The Adi ones that gets me is this one (my ovaries just threw a party when I went to look at it to get the link). And I LOVE Vargas in the one you linked, he looks so absolutely in his element -- I don't have a single concern anymore about whether his difficulties in settling in on the pitch affected his relationship with the team. &hearts &hearts &hearts (Also, he and Santana are supposedly buddies. *MORE HEARTS*)

[bustedflush]

1. All I'm saying is that if it was Rino doing the same stuff, you'd love it. Don't deny it!
2. *warns the doorman about the Germany lady carrying Stolen*
4. (Aw, I know, but the fact that he's wearing a tshirt and has his sweater tied around his waist is part of why I like it so much -- he's so, so relaxed, we hardly ever get to see him that way. &hearts)(*g*)
