Footballer Friday

and the best thighs belong to this man, Carles Puyol (Barcelona defender).

Our little FC Barcelona did it, beating Manchester United in the Champions League finals in Rome this past week. Check out the celebrations below. Makes us want to book our ticket a bit earlier and head off n.o.w.

Manager, Pep Guardiola, getting thrown about

Fans coming out all over Barcelona to celebrate

The team, famously referred to as “More than a Club”, heads straight to their fans upon arriving at the airport.

Birthday wishes are in order for Tranquillo Barnetta (24/Switzerland) and Arturo Vidal (22/Chile) who celebrate today.

Hugo Almeida (25/Portugal) will be opening his presents tomorrow.  And our talented Iker (28/Real Madrid), opened his on Wednesday. What does one buy the best goalkeeper? hmmm

mullet: business in the front, party in the back…

So while Champion’s League was in full swing, our favorite Mr Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid) was out getting a new do in the shape of a, dare we say mullet? *gasp*

The bigger reason to gasp – it’s growing on us. Three reasons we think it works are: a) the stubble b) the strategically placed neck-framing highlights and c) it added the tag “mullet” to our blog.

A few past styles donned by Mr. Ramos…

Happy Friday to all!
