World Cup 2010 : icons

[alexandral]

One week down, I have more or less decided on the teams I am going to cheer for (in order of intensity):

1. Italy
2. Netherlands : because I am a materialistic person and this is my sweepstakes team. I also like the team, the orange uniform and the best looking coach of 2010 Bert Van Marwijk. Also I have suddenly remembered that I have friends in Rotterdam.
3. Brazil : this is always a magical team for me.
4. Argentina : the team of Messi plus the most hilarious coach of ever Maradona
5. Serbia : again, for materialistic sweepstake reasons and because Milan Jovanovic is nice
6. Ivory Coast : Didier Drogba.

As promised to fabulous queenofthorns, I have made some icons with Maradona and Rafa Marquez. And because I felt compelled to, I also made some icons of Messi, Italian team, Netherlands, Brazil and Serbia

Preview:

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[intermezzo]

YaY! :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I told you, Italian team and I go a long long way back. :D

[intermezzo]

Hee!

Today's match? That was kind of embarrassing. :(

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I have been in the church and I am so surprised!!!!! never mind, at least they have one victory!

[intermezzo]

Actually, they don't? Both matches ended up with a tie. :/

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

DOUH!!!!!!!!!!! My brain is in a puddle! I mixed them with Brazil (who are awesomely winning!)

[intermezzo]

Dude, you get brownie points for confusing Italy and Brazil, of all teams. ^^ I mean, if your brain had picked one of the lesser known teams, I *might* have taken offense. Keke

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I think they are in the same" many hot men" category. :D

[intermezzo]

They are! *nods*

[queenofthorns.livejournal.com]

OMG, these are all awesome. The maradona ones are hilarious and WOW the Rafa ones are ... whew!!! I'm taking all of those obviously. and Cannavaro. and De Rossi. And the Oranje ones. Good thing I have all those icons spaces free :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you like them!!! (And I am so glad you like the Oranjies!)

[lage-nom-ai.livejournal.com]

The Maradona ones are hilarious. :)

[lage-nom-ai.livejournal.com]

Also, can I beg for icons of Oezel, Jogi Lowe, and Podolski? Pretty please?

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

No problem! Done!

[lage-nom-ai.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeee, you are awesome! (The yellow card one is both mean and hilarious). Thank you so much!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry! I made that one for myself : I think the referees in this championship have been giving yellow cards like hotcakes, there really must be something going on with the rules.

[lage-nom-ai.livejournal.com]

Oh no no, I love it! The carding this tournament have been out of control. Grrr. And while I approve of carding for diving (Oezil laughed his off, as he should've; I'd like to see C. Ronaldo get his fair share!) today's carding of the NZ player for taking to long to hobble off the field with cramps was ridiculous.

And thank you for being my personal icon-maker, darling! I think that 75% of my icons are yours. :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I want Portugal to lose to North Korea SO BADLY and preferably for Ronaldo to receive a yellow card for diving.

But yes, there were few very odd yellow cards - quite few for arguing with the referee which used to be "allowed" before!

YAY! I am so glad you like the icons!!!!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[singing-tree.livejournal.com]

Omg looove your icons! I laughed at 4 and 6, he is so funny =P.

Van Marwijk ís handsome, just like our last coach, Marco van Basten;

He is younger though.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

YAY! I think I remember him as a player, if I am not wrong!

[doublethink101.livejournal.com]

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I am glad you like them!

[anenko.livejournal.com]

If I knew anything about soccer, I'd definitely snag some of these. I love the sense of *emotions* in all of the icons.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!!

I think that recent influx of good-looking footballers made me all interested in the World Cup and European Cup football (I am not following any clubs or anything :D)

[nicolasechs.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for these! I've snagged a couple of Özil, as he's my newest baby-faced footballer crush.

And the Maradona ones are just adorable! :D

[alexandral.livejournal.com]
