Ballon d’Or Goes to Somebody Who’s Not Henry

I so let you down — if only I had known people besides me wanted to see that image again …

Also, I feel compelled to mention that this weekend I changed my mind about Mexes: I now officially agree with the teens and gay men who find him pretty. I’m ashamed.

Speaking of Mexes, I discovered last week that there are actually some lines I won’t cross for love and blogging.

Yes, I will spend hours wading through and memorizing statistics. And running French google searches. And reading French articles. And digging into rumors about Zizou’s personal life.

However, I could not make myself subscribe to the Philippe Mexes fanzine. Even though it was in English. I just couldn’t make myself do it. It just felt…kind of…rather…creepy.

So readers, if I miss important Philippe Mexes facts, gossip, and compromising photos… Well, I’m sorry. But I discovered that I do have my standards.

Congrats, let’s see Ribéry win it next year!

ahhh have u seen buffons wife??? a lot better than Henrys hahaha

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart! 5
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

FABIO CANNAVARO IL CAPITANO (well known as BERLIN WALL)

What a (rather pleasant) shock to find an Italy fan who can quote Walt Whitman. Or at least Robin Williams. Or at least can google the word “Captain.”

She’s obviously with Henry for his money because he sure is ugly but than again most French people are…Ha ha ha

Laurie, it’s more shocking to find an American who can quote Mr Whitman…

Hey!/:) … if Henry is ugly then how about Ronaldinho, Eto’o or Rooney?!? They’re uglyer then crap!(at least rooney has a girl to suit him lol). speakin’ of the ballon d’or Henry is 1st for that award no matter what! cannavaro was weak and sloppy last season he should of been 5th! wearring an armband for italy who won the WC by luckyness doesn’t gives you the right for the award…

France got out of the first round by “luckyness” if that’s even a word, you better check on that big bad brian

Laurie ..not to be competing but you should also see to what Buffon goes home to at night ….check it out her name is Alena Seredova super-model…..

So why is it that every time somebody says to me, “Laurie, you should check out THIS footballer’s wife,” like a robot I automatically find myself going to Google. And then I find myself looking at yet another huge set of silicone pillows with skin stretched across them. And thinking, “You know, this really doesn’t interest me all that much.”

Must work on my OWN impulse control issues.

But guys, if that kind of thing interests YOU, I will say that the silicone pillows are huge. So feel free to Google them yourself.

What about Miro Klose for Werder Bremen? Right now he’s the hottest scorer in Europe and he’s on everyone’s shopping list.

For some reason it seems that “playing in Germany” is synonymous with “off the radar screen” when it comes to international awards. Don’t know why that is.
