INTERESTING PICS FROM THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP STAGE

I collected massive amounts of photos, too many to picspam all in one place, so I've selected some of the very best to show along with the match results.

Enjoy!

Here's a sample from Lyon vs Schalke: Raul chases Yoann Gourcuff.

EUROPA LEAGUE MATCHES PICSPAM

In the Europa league group stages there are endless games! I am not going to post pics from ALL...but I do have some from MOST. Of course some matches interested me more than others. But all the pics are really good, so I want to post them. Results also below the cut.

This teaser is from the SSC Napoli vs Utrecht game. Lavezzi contorts himself.

CHERUBS: A PICSPAM

Someone on my flist recently made a post about Sergio Canales of Real Madrid, referring to him as a "cherub". The term captured my imagination and I went looking for other "cherubs" - footballers either very young or who look young, who play at the highest professional level all over the world. To be classified as a "cherub" I believe these boys need to possess a certain look - one of innocence, sweetness and above all youthfulness - even if they are anything but in real life. Here's my list: I am sure there are more and that I've left out someone important. In fact, I can think of one or two as I'm writing this. But these are the fellows who first came to mind for this picspam: Bojan Krkic, Kun Aguero, Sergio Canales, Rogelio Funes Mori, Omar Arellano, Nicolas Lodeiro, Diego Buonanotte, David Luiz, Javier Hernandez, Rafael Da Silva, Jorge Fucile and Jordan Henderson.

Of interest, two of them have identical twin brothers who also play football. Do you know who they are?

Enjoy!

Jorge Fucile, one of the older cherubs. But look at that face! :)
