France/Portugal plus scenes from a marriage

[lobelia321]

Breakfast
T'h (unprompted): Lobelia, if you could choose to go on a hot date with one of these two, which one would you choose? Zidane or Ronaldo?
Me: What do you mean, hot date?
T'h: Go to a restaurant, and afterwards...
Me: (*interrupts*) Which restaurant?
T'h: (*exasperated*) A really nice kind! You could choose!
Me: I'm not sure I want to go to a restaurant. These are footballers!! I would be worried about the standard of conversation.
T'h: Okay, okay, not a restaurant! Just straight to bed. Zidane or Ronaldo?
Me: Which Ronaldo? *is pedant*
T'h: (*shouts*) Cristiano Ronaldo! The wonderful old French guy or the beautiful young Ronaldo?
Me: I'll have Ronaldo, please. Yup.
T'h: You can, too. There is a new initiative: Footballers share their sex with middle-aged women in England.
Me: *cackles but is instantly convinced that such an initiative must surely, indeed, exist, and pulse quickens absurdly*
T'8-yr old: (*indignant*) Mama's not middle-aged!

(Are we corrupting the youth of tomorrow?)

T'h: I am looking forward to when the World Cup is over. And I can have my wife back.
Me: Yeah. And I can have my life back!
T'h: To me a wife, to you a life.

Dr Rodney McKay/Cristiano Ronaldo
Yes. This is what I am writing now. (Taking a break from angsty Roonaldo anger!fic.) This fic also features Viggo Mortensen, Dominic Monaghan, Miss Moneypenny and Colin Creevey. Geek meets ephebe. What's not to love? I may possibly also insert an incisively penned critique of globalised marketing and sponsoring corruption and the exploitation of the third world.

Possibly.

Pictures of the pack
And in keeping with my patriarchy analogy:


Two old wolves.


To my non-footballing Friends: The one in red is Luis Figo of Portugal. The one in white is the famous Zinedine Zidane of France, a veteran at 34. Note: the different-coloured costume denotes that they are of opposing sides. Which makes for the cuteness value of these scenes.


Shirt-lovin'.


Rubbing sweat. Aww.


The leader of the Portuguese wolf pack takes care of his youngest cub.


Oh, how he wept.

(*wants to be a mosquito on that sweat-soaked nape*)

Papa Wolf and Baby Wolf. *dies of teh sweet*


Nobody weeps it better.


During:


And after:

I am moved by these fans. It reminds me of the miracle of 1998.

Ballack is sad, too. (Info for non-football Friends: He is the prettiest of the Germans.) This little weepster will meet the other little weepster (pictured in red above) on Saturday!!

This fic also features Viggo Mortensen, Dominic Monaghan, Miss Moneypenny and Colin Creevey.

Oh my god... *sinks head in hands, moans quietly to self*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

*laughs and laughs* You are one of the precious few who are actually familiar with all of the above fandoms!

Why are you online? Aren't you at work?? Did you find your passport??? How was Devon????

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

I'm at work, at lunch. Studio manager away today, so he's not hogging the internet machine. And, therefore... sadly haven't found the passport yet.

It was Dorset - fantastic! We saw cool rock formations and a steam railway and a bad nightclub and a pier, and a weird rocky cove with divers, and a castle, and it was Much Fun. :)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I must hear about it on Tuesday. You must ease me gently into Life after the World Cup.

[elaran.livejournal.com]

guh. Thank you for the pictures. ^__^ I love them. LOVE.

Yeah. World Cup finishing = i have my sleep cycle back damnit.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I haven't slept for more than five hours since the 9th of June! I am exhausted!!

:-)

*crying with laughter*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, what? The local fish-and-chips dive? And anyway, even if the food is fantastic, what do you talk to footballers about??? How their alter slash egos are a cathected site for you? Whether you prefer Nobel Prize winning arty-farty authors or Booker Prize Big Theme authors??

I guess I could get C. Ronaldo to teach me Portuguese. But would he understand the grammatical nuances of the subjunctive mode??

This is why I opted for no restaurant. Go straight to bed. I think that's best.

Baby wept so heartbreakingly beautiful *tears hair out*

There is a new initiative: Footballers share their sex with middle-aged women in England.
Not only in England I hope *bats eyelashes*

Your convo's crack me up...have to post some of mine too.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I can only go by what I am told: middle-aged women in England. *cackles*

[yellow-oranges.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun at your house!! I read about how "polite" the French were celebrating their win (not rubbing it in to the losers) contrasted with how Portugal were cavorting and running around. I just thought, Yeah, but the French have been there before. C'mon!

Should get to see highlights tonight. Am looking forward to seeing weeping baby wolf, although I do feel badly for him.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

When were the Portuguese cavorting? Why do I not find these news sites that carry such items??

Ah, the weepster. And on Saturday we get to admire him all over again. I am hoping that because nobody cares about third place, all the players will pull out all the stops and just have fun!

[yellow-oranges.livejournal.com]

Incredibly, after they won the game. On the field.

[yellow-oranges.livejournal.com]

ETA: The game gainst England.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

England/Portugal post-game antics:





Any other celebration only ever hurts if you were backing the other side. I loved Germany celebrating! I loved Portugal celebrating! I couldn't bear Italy celebrating! But they all celebrate. :-)

Oh, P.S. And, of course, the most beautiful celebrations of them all: Cameroon 1990. *sighs happily*

To me a wife, to you a life.
:D Let me tell you that you have a great family. And sure you're corrupting the youth of tomorrow - but all for the better!

About your fic... I'm not sure I even want to know how you got that idea but is Colin taking pictures of Cristiano? And maybe you could put a bit of Cristiano/Viggo on the side? Because the longer I think about it the hotter the mental image gets... Jeses, does it get hot *head starts to steam*

Cristiano's hair! God, there's no gel in it, is there? How did I not notice that before... *is totally shocked with self* God, how I want to run my hand through it... Also, did I mention that I have the tiniest nape kink? *fans herself and safes the pic*

And that Zidane/Cristiano pic - what, isn't he allowed to comfort the pretty? Why is Cristiano pulling away? Damn!
The pic under that one just cracked me up. It looks as if Scolari is telling everybody to just stand back and allow him to be the first to comfort the pretty.

Can I just say again how seriously hot I find that nape pic?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

The one thing about my family is that my sons are even more beautiful than Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo. :-)

And guh. Your icon. My heart stoppeth.

I was going to make an icon of that but haven't yet. Ack, we will all have identi-icons!

Yes, Colin takes photos of Cristiano and Rodney McKay for a sponsors' photoshoot because Rodney works for some big corporation who is hiring Cristiano to be the face of their corporation and you can imagine where things go from there. Hoho. I'm not sure I can do CR/VM because I do not like Viggo as a man; he is a cleft-chinned smarm. But perhaps he can have some fun with Creevy... *cackles*

*laughs insanely at you noticing Cristiano's hair only now!!* In some pics, he looks totally gelled up but on the pitch he just looks sweaty. *licks off the sweat*

Also, did I mention that I have the tiniest nape kink?
*g* I'm not fond of the long-haired coiffures although I know some people really go for the lanky Itaian locks look. I like the place where hair meets nape. *swoons*

Cristiano/Zidane is like Michelangelo's Adam/God.

Um. *gets carried away*

[junalele.livejournal.com]

I was going to make an icon of that but haven't yet. Ack, we will all have identi-icons!
Just blame it on the pretty. We just can't help ourselves. God, this pic is just pure sex. *fans herself hectically*

Okay, so the cleft-chinned thing is not too great but he just has this kind of charisma... But well, I'm sure your fic is going to be great. *changes to whiny voice* And when is it going to be posted? And the Roony/Ronaldo one?

Also just for this one comparison - Cristiano/Zidane is like Michelangelo's Adam/God you should by all right have to write a fic about them. Because I'm going to combust here and then?

Yeah, yeah, don't know how it possibly could have escaped my notice. The hair. It could be that I was a nervous wrack. :) And I'm not really one for the lanky Italian look. Deshalb mochte ich auch die dürren Strippen in Cristiano's Nacken nicht. Die waren doch dankenswerterweise mit den 80ern ausgestorben... But in this last game, in that pic his hair is all curly and soft looking. Did you notice that him and Orli have similar hair... They really do... *goes into a lengthy drool fest* :)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Did you notice that him and Orli have similar hair.

Yes, I had noticed that! They totally do! *screams*

*is twelve*

[junalele.livejournal.com]

*is twelve, too*

God, the hair, tha tan... they would look so great together... *looks at you meaningfully* :)

Oh my god, I just had an epiphany - you know how they always have these experts on movie sets teaching the actors how to sword fight or how to box... What if Orli's next role would be that of a footballer and the hired Cristiano as his teacher? Totally not likely... but the images.... *floats around at happy place*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

1111111

The things you put in my head, woman!!

Well, Orli was already a boxer in that milk movie so why not a footballer..??????11111

*falls into swamp*

That is... so totally insane that it is totally plausible.

You know, this may briefly revive my Bloom lust. I haven't had much interest in the lad ever since a) his acting non-ability was too obviously revealed, b) he lost his youthful prettiness and started to look somewhat stout, and c) lost the locks.

And maybe Cristiano could be a sekrit Lord of the Rings fan (except his favourite movie actor is Claude van Damme...??!!wtf) so it would have to be very sekrit, and sekritly he's always wanted to be Legolas (because you know how the world divides into Men Who Want to Be Aragorn and Men Who Want to Be Legolas) so he would be thrilled to be coaching Legolas!Orli. And Orli hasn't got a clue about football so he's not at all overawed by Cristiano, except he does have a soft spot for football ever since his Days in the Mud Hut with Sean Bean but Bean is all about Sheffield, of course, and way back in 2000 nobody had ever heard of Cristiano because, omg, Orli and Cristiano are liek eight years apart in age.

*has difficulty breathing*

[junalele.livejournal.com]

*whistles innocently*

Well, Orli was already a boxer in that milk movie so why not a footballer..??????
Exactly. And was he ever cute in the milk movie.

You know, this may briefly revive my Bloom lust. I haven't had much interest in the lad ever since a) his acting non-ability was too obviously revealed, b) he lost his youthful prettiness and started to look somewhat stout, and c) lost the locks.
This is starting to get seriously weird because those are the exact same reasons my Orli lust has dimished. *sniffs* Although I guess, the next Pirates movie will revive it again. But in that Kingdom of Heavens movie? Buff = argh! And the lacking acting skills... *sighs*

van Damme? AAAARGH! I hate him! He's such a bad actor and such a bad martial arts... man? doer? Anyways, all he can do is the split. How can Cristianochen like him? Argh! But I like this fic idea of yours very muchly. *grins cheekily*

and way back in 2000 nobody had ever heard of Cristiano because, omg, Orli and Cristiano are liek eight years apart in age.
*MAJOR SQUEE* Oh god yes... the possibilites. Orli would be all eager and Cristiano... I don't think he'd be a very good teacher actually. People like him who are truly gifted themselves tend to lack the patience to teach because they just don't know how hard it is... So the question is: How much fo Cristiano's arrogance and impatience would it take for Orli to snap? The images... *swoons, drools...floats*

[junalele.livejournal.com]

P.S.:
Because of the age difference Cristiano maybe would be even more impatient and what not because he'd have the need to prove himself. And there's also the language thing. The English-Portugese thing... the ednless possibilities... :)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

P.S. When Orlando was the age that Cristiano is now, Cristiano was thirteen.

*has fit*

But the names!!!!

"Oh Cristiano."
"Oh Orlando."

It's like an aria.

[junalele.livejournal.com]

And now imagine Cristiano saying it with his Madeiran accent... *fans herself hectiacally but still sees images of tan, sweat slick bodies...and The Nape with The Hair...*

Hello, my name is junalele and I'm totally obsessed with Cristiano Ronaldo and his Nape and his ungeled Hair.

[pandorablu.livejournal.com]

Oh how I have loved watching Zidane play in the World Cup. Loved him so much I made him my football icon of joy! Joy I tell you!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Nobody can resist Zidane. He is god.
