A [blank] of Steel

This is a parody/comedy sketch, of course, but I thought it was really funny. (Like, I actually laughed so hard that my eyes were watery by the end.)

"Now that's a lot of miles per hour!" I love this video.

Some of the best stuff from the WC.

lmao, these are all fantastic!!

I miss the WC tbh

[the4thjuliek]

Me too :(

Club football is fun but Euros/WC/Copa America are just special.

I really enjoyed all the Tim Howard memes that cropped up this summer. I can't find my fave 'picture of Tim Howard & the US Men's National Team' now though, like it didn't even exist! My google skills are not on top of it today.

Ahh, I miss the WC.

I AM AS DEAD AND BATTERED AS STERLING RIGHT NOW (BUT WITH LAUGHTER)

I am impressed that this gif is only 1.5MB. That was a crap ton of editing/overlaying/whatever technique was used to create the gif. When I first opened this post (it was scheduled earlier), I thought the whole team was standing in front of the goal in a mob, though, lol.

didn't Casillas use to have this kind of memes?

It took me quite some time to realise that they put David in this!

Yes, the original San Iker™.

My favorite version of this will always be the Elvis Presley one (although I think it's a picture with a blue background).

here we go

i know y'all expect me to post Iker stuff since we're talking about GKs here so I will oblige. ;)

let's start with something sweet. with Iniesta (and a possible David Silva cameo? lol)

and now on to serious bsns. apparently, iker is known as the grumpy capi because he has to put up with his dumb teammates and their dumb antics all the time (both club and NT). that takes a serious toll on someone (see: his receding hairline)
For a beginner's guide i encourage y'all to explore this wonderful blog: http://ikercasillashateshislife.tumblr.com/ ENJOY!

this is pretty much canon, as evident in this instagram exchange between him and Marcelo:

Hmm, regards to the Santi thing, I guess it's a good thing he doesn't seem to be a crotch-grabber (ala Poldi)? XD

Although is that raining picture with Iker real, or is it 'shopped? I've sorta wondered.

RE: here we go

[mrscrapbag]

i think it really was raining there, but this pic was definitely exaggerated. lol
