RECENT INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLIES: A PICSPAM

[jenni_blog]

Bit late, but whatever. Here's a picspam featuring some teams hardly anyone is probably interested in, plus a few pics of your favourites!
(I'm not posting pics of the Spain or Mexico friendlies...I did Mexico already and there are so many Spain picspams that nobody needs to see mine.)

First, some of the results:

Portugal 2 - 0 China
Belgium 0 - 1 Croatia
The Netherlands 2 - 1 USA
Switzerland 1 - 3 Uruguay
Germany 0 - 1 Argentina
England 3 - 1 Egypt
Bosnia 2 - 1 Ghana
Scotland 1 - 0 Czechoslovakia
Wales 0 - 1 Sweden
Turkey 2 - 0 Honduras
Basque Country 1 - 3 Paraguay
Ireland 0 - 2 Brazil
Austria 2 - 1 Denmark
Italy 0 - 0 Cameroon

I love Jonás sfm.
And Romero's hair ♥

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Jonas is frigging hot!
Did you see his body? That shirt was painted on!
Romero was gorgeous! My eyes popped out while I was watching him. That was one helluva team Maradona put together!

Nice spam! Thank you. :-)

(I thought the NL-US game wasn't very exciting, btw, though that might be because I was trying to combine it with watching the results of the municipal elections)

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

LOL. I'm sure watching municipal elections would kill the excitement in anything! :P

[sophiamoon.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yes. ;-)

(although, there was actually some excitement since there were some irregularities reported in a few towns/cities,including my own and in Rotterdam, my place of birth, and where I've lived for many years.)

Love the Joao-Liedson pic *smiles*

Are all Croatians playing in England???

Nicklas pic is so beautiful!!!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

There are so many GREAT players that I like a lot (and LOVE) playing for all different national teams.

Sporting and its players are just so adorable.♥

LOL @ Croatians! Not only are they playing in England, but most of them are at Spurs!

Nicklas is just toooooo good-looking. I am sure he will be a big hit during the WC when all the stupid American fangirls will 'discover' him like they did with Nando and Sergio Ramos during the last one.

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]

I hope this will never happen to Nicklas!

[rocknrollapsara.livejournal.com]

thanks for the great pics, especially those of albicelesti :)

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :)

[soviet-star.livejournal.com]

Hey, I recognize #15's hair from the U21 Euro last summer! (No diea what his name is, though)
Oh hallo, Mellberg!

Didn't see the game but it was great to know Cavani scored!
Mmmm Diego Forlan :D

IT IS ROQUE! haha

Dear Philipp Lahm, please shave.
Another one I missed (actually, I missed a ton of those games; I was out most of the day and then passed out from lack of sleep)

Uhm, what? o.0

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I think #15 is Mikael Lustig, him:

I hope for much for the Uruguayans!

Hahahaha@ Philipp Lahm's whiskers! Awww...he's still cute, though...:)

LOL...Rene Adler kind of tripped over Per Mertesacker and went flying right over his back. Poor Rene did not have a good game... :(

[wildmopdogs.livejournal.com]

aaah! That's him! thanks!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :)

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

No probs...I love the Croatians! (I am a Spurs fan too. XD)

Hahaha...The Germany/Argentina pics were HOT!♥

[txorakeriak.livejournal.com]

Ah, I wish Almeida wasn't playing for Werder, he seems like a fun guy! ;)

HELLO, KRIS BOYD! XD (I miss Allan McGregor. :()

OMG, you included a pic of Diego Godín! And with Luis Suárez, too! THANK YOU! :D

(By the way, it wasn't actually the Basque national team who played against Paraguay but Athletic Bilbao. ;))

I guess Philipp Lahm was sick of being treated like a kid so he grew a beard. But it does look strange!

OMG, so many pictures of Germany vs Argentina! Thank you so much! I love all of them! Especially the ones of Gonzalo celebrating his goal (rawr!!!) and of Jonás Gutiérrez celebrating with him (isn't he adorable???). Poor Micho, though. I hope he'll be better soon. And oh hai, Sergio! *waves at his pretty back* :D

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Yes, Almeida does seem like an interesting guy. Ah, well, maybe he'll get a transfer during the summer! :)

Ahhh, yes, the Scottish bad boy returneth! LOL. Allan McGregor has only himself to blame!

You know, I actually thought of you when I saved the pic of Diego Godin with Luis Suarez. I wondered if you would notice it. LOL.

I know it was Athletic Bilbao but on TV once the announcer (could have been Ray Hudson or Phil Schoen) said that sometimes Athletic Bilbao plays as the Basque National Team. I thought that was lovely and romantic.

LOL @ Lahm!

OMG I think I fell in love with Jonas Gutierrez during this match! He is looking so FINE! Newcastle United must be treating him good! LOL.

Thanks for your comments!♥
