Ezequiel Lavezzi: Another Adorable Argie

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 3 Comments

Generally, some sort of introduction goes here, but it’s Lavezzi, and it’s hard to be articulate around him. So, to sum up: Napoli, Argentina, Olympic gold medalist. Very nearly too cute for words.

See what I mean?

Who Knew Santa Was So Damn Cute?

By: Amanda Leerat | Comments No Comments

Merry belated Christmas, ladies! (And gents. We don’t judge.) Once again we bring you the utterly adorable Sergio “Kun” Aguero of Atletico Madrid. This time dressed as Santa Claus. The boy with the smile that can make us forget the anemic “Ho ho hos.”
Lucky Giannina Maradona (yes, daughter [...]

Happy Boca Boy

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 2 Comments

Despite losing their last match, Boca Juniors won a crazy, three-legged playoff to take the Apertura title last week, something which made a lot of people, including the adorable Sebastian Battaglia, very happy indeed.

We Love Cleats

By: Amanda Leerat | Comments No Comments

Cleats grip. They grab. They pull.
And oh, how we love them for it.
(This photo is a blast from the past that came without identification. Our assumption is that it’s Celtic’s Bobo Balde. No idea about the lucky chap feeling the breeze.)

Cristiano Ronaldo: Is That a Pick or a Scratch?

By: Amanda Leerat | Comments 3 Comments

So why is it that boys grab on when they’re happy? (Such as after winning the Club World Cup?)
Wait. Never mind. Stupid question. It’s because they can.
(And don’t tell me the hand is just resting there. I’m not seeing a thumb.)

The Beckham Has Landed

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 6 Comments

OMG DAVID BECKHAM YOU GUYS! (That sounded convincing, right?)
Unless you’ve been under a (lovely, media frenzy-damping) rock for the past month or two, you’re well aware that David Beckham is joining AC Milan on loan for a few months starting, well, now. Whether we think this is happening purely for footballing reasons or because Milan [...]

Santander Celebrate Prettily

By: Amanda Leerat | Comments No Comments

Look! It’s a goal celebration! Kind of like a dogpile, only prettier and with slightly less sweat and testosterone. (Which probably means it smells better, too.)

Rafael Nadal Ought to Switch Sports

By: Ivanna Baller | Comments 3 Comments

Not that he isn’t an amazing tennis player, which he is, but he would be a very very welcome sight on the football pitch as well. He was nice enough to give us a glimpse of that possibility in last Tuesday’s Friends of Iker vs. Friends of Rafa charity match.
My advice to Rafa? To stop [...]

Marco Boriello: Never Subtle

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 2 Comments

Generally in this situation I’d say something like “dumb as a box of hammers,” but since Milan striker Marco Boriello’s (ex) girlfriend recently cheated on him on national TV, I suppose he deserves a bit of mercy for a change.
Plus, posing with nothing on always makes him feel better, so you’re helping him out [...]
