I was at work when the Liverpool game was on, but I saw the highlights later. They were very unlucky not to have scored after a couple of shots hit the posts. I hate Clint Dempsey and he was very lucky when the ball just fell for him exactly right. Shit like this happens all the time but it hurts when it is against your team. :(

When I first started watching football in the leagues and didn't know much about the teams and players (it wasn't that long ago), I can remember the reasons why I liked certain teams. Mostly it was the way they played that made me get excited and awakened the interest in me to want to watch them all the time. Secondly, it was certain players and the way they played, their exuberance, dynamism and the look in their eyes that made me interested in them and made them watchable, and made me remember their names. All had some different qualities, but the point of it all is that what interested me was completely from natural feelings I had, and nothing that I 'wanted' to like because it was what my friends liked. For me that is the true test. So players such as Gareth Bale (he is the prime example for me lately), or Sergio Ramos (during the 2006 WC he was the most noticeable player for me, though some of my friends found him ugly and horse-faced). There were others, too. Some of the Argentines amazed me and I was very attracted to their style of play. For natural looks I like the Hispanic and darkish quality (that is no secret) and since the early days of watching football I have noticed many hot-looking guys, but not all of them are great players.

Of course I think it is normal to love all (or most) of the players from the teams we love, and I think it is only natural for a normal woman to be attracted to some hot athletes that are her 'type'. For sure we enjoy the sport too, but some women who put the fangirls down for thinking players are hot and profess to love only the sport and not the players, are IMO either in denial or outright lying, and for what reason I really don't know. Because does anyone else really give a shit? For me, I think there is nothing wrong with developing 'crushes' on players. It is only normal for any woman, young or old. To deny it is kind of stupid, IMO. We have talked before about how you can love both football and players and there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing superior about a woman who tries to make herself seem like a knowledgeable football 'expert' who professes to not notice players and how they look, but only concerns herself with stats and results. *pah*

I'm very sensitive to visual stimulation and love to look at pictures. I guess that is obvious. So I will continue to collect pics that I find attractive or interesting, and post them, no matter what others think. I've always agreed to disagree with other people without being nasty about their own choices, because it is a free world and I think people should be honest about their feelings.

I think feelings can change, too, like when a player I like for a national team goes to a club that I positively hate. Case in point - Cesc Fabregas. I hate him now. I can't believe how strong I feel, but it's true. I cannot deny it. Since he has gone to Barca he has become a cheating asshole, IMO. I've seen too much and I cannot stand him now. But it's all my personal feelings, and I can understand how some people still like him, especially if they are Barca fans.

So yeah, it is a bit confusing, but for me, it is nothing to worry about. I just find it very interesting. :) ♥
