SOME PRETTY, PRETTY NATIONAL TEAMS

[jenni_blog]

As the national teams are beginning training for the Euros, or are playing friendlies before the Olympics, I am collecting pics of my favourites so I can post them here. In this post are:

Argentina's U23 Olympic team playing a friendly against the Catalunyan National Team.
Portugal players training.
Germany players training.
Swiss players both training and in a friendly against Slovakia.
Croatia vs Moldova.



CROATIA

Luka Modric training.



Vedran Corluka chases ball.



Luka Modric sends a pass.



Nikola vs Moldova.



KAKA

Oh, here's Kaka. He's just had minor knee surgery. Is it me, or does he look a little chubby? I'm used to him being so thin!





GERMANY

*sigh* Rene Adler arrives for a press conference.



Rene speaks to press.



Rene and Robert Enke (yes, there is another goalkeeper for Germany. XD) in training.



Rene makes a diving save in training. XD

LOL. Schweini and Hitzlsperger prepare for training.

Miguel Veloso at press conference. ASDDFGHHJKLXZ.



Paulo Ferreira and Miguel Veloso greet C. Ronaldo. (I don't know about you, but I've been finding C. Ronaldo quite insufferable lately.)



C. Ronaldo with Bruno Alves (LEGS--*THUD*) and another player...sorry, I didn't really notice him. XD



Okay, that's all for now, but I'm coming back with more from time to time. XD

LOL oh, Fer. That's not a pistol in his pocket ;-)


(I don't know about you, but I've been finding C. Ronaldo quite insufferable lately.)
I have a weakness for him, but I have to agree with you.

Wow, is Kaká actually looking good now that he's buffed up a bit? o___O Didn't think I'd see the day.

OMG, LEO MESSI! *squees* I love him so much. I still need to find the Argentina vs Catalunya game somewhere, OMG. Awww, Gago and Lavezzi! So cute.

Zuberbühler (you did spell that right! :D) looks so gay in that one pic. (And look at Benaglio bending over in front of him. *coughcough*)

DUDE, THE PORTUGUESE HEAD TILTING. O_O Miguel Veloso, you are so pretty. (Especially in the press conference pics.) So WHY are you flirting with Scolari???

I don't know about you, but I've been finding C. Ronaldo quite insufferable lately.
I've always found him rather insufferable, so I'm with you here. Maybe he's even more insufferable now because he seems to be EVERYWHERE. I nearly groaned when I opened Kicker magazine this week and they rated Cristina most likely to become Player of the Euro. ARGH.

Awesome picspam, as always! *mwah*
