SOME PRETTY PICS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

These are a smattering of pics from the international friendlies that have been taking place over the past few weeks. They do not include the tournaments, like the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the Toulon Tournament. (I made separate posts for those.)

Marcelo Estigarribia plays for Newell's and I like him a lot *smiles*

Danny!!! Nicklas!!!

Jack Wilshere! I love him!

Joe Hart had a shit match!!! My poor english guys.....

I hate the german team!!!

What a mixture!!!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

Marcelo Estigarribia is one more example of a hot Paraguayan man! ;P

Jack Wilshere is awesome!!! :)

Poor English guys.

Awww...I love too many players on the German team! (I also think the German team is the BEST, but they never win it all!)

The mixture killed me! I should have made two posts...one European, one South American...but there weren't enough South American pics!

Thanks for your comments! :)

I will never get why people love the german NT.
I know they can play good football but for me their football is ugly like the most players. Sorry I cannot enjoy them.

I wasn't looking for pics and I appreciate your post!!!

Looking at the Spain v. USA pictures, I have a total, I was there reaction. Also every time I see Khedira I wonder at how he can be so pretty.

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

It must have been wonderful to have been there! :)

Awww...I have such a soft spot for Sami Khedira...he is such a hottie! :)

[shana0809.livejournal.com]

It's one of those things I'm still sort of OMG, can't believe it about.

And Khedira is a total hottie.

This picture reminds me of American football.

Oh Hi, Agger! :D Man, I wish they'd shown more games here.

I did see England-Switzerland, though (but only the 1st half). Barnetta's goals were amazing.

Greece - Papadopoulos (Schalke) made his debut and scored! :D aww

wow Buffon looks really strange there o.O

I like Rossi's press conference fashion :D

And Pavlyuchenkp scored 3 vs Armenia! :D

Oh HI Chamakh! :D

This is one of those pics where I think, "HOW did that happen??" ... even though I did watch that game

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that picture of Arne. Just LOVE IT!!!! If it was a poster, I'd have it framed on my wall! :)

Giuseppe Rossi is such a neat-looking boy, always!

Agghhh...I should have waited until more pics of Pavlyuchenko came through, because now I have some more. I felt bad for having only one blurry one!

Marouane Chamakh just waits for these shirtless opportunities, I swear! He's the Moroccan Mario Gomez!!! ;P

Hahahaha...Diego Godin is always making moves like that, it seems, where his clothes fly all askew. XD

Thanks for all your lovely comments! Can't wait until the Bundesliga starts again! (The other leagues as well.) :)
