1. It's the Copa Final today! Mesut's favourite victims - Atleti - are our opponents! Good luck Mesut and good luck boys.

2. I feel violently sick, and looking at this made me feel...weirder...

Yup! That's Mesut's wax head. It's actually sort of good...but freaky...

Anyway - let's hope that's good luck!

Incidentally: Cleat Watch starts now...

I know squat all about boots, but seeing as these are ... colorful (as opposed to plain white) am gonna assume he's back in brands?

And this qualifies as a Samisut moment. Serzil, your silence unnerves me. What are you up to ... ?

I found this on tumblr thanks to theperfectpattyy who finds some really cool stuff. Mes is at the end, so keep watching lol :)

And if I did not embed it right, which I probably didnt, here is the link http://www.record.xl.pt/multimedia/videos/interior.aspx?content_id=822030

So Ramos, Pipa, Modric and Mesut all showed up to this lunch-thingy in Dolce & Gabbana T Shirts. Mesut went for the Madonna print and the Ménage à Trois (hehe) Ramos, Pipa & Modric went for Marilyn Monroe (Funny thing that Messi was wearing one of the Marilyn shirts seen shopping at D&G in Milan yesterday to). And Mesut has been seen in a lot of their tshirts. This got me inquisitive, so I had to do a little digging (because I'm bored and willing to do anything but studying).

I had to see if there is curently some sort of colaboration between spanish players and Dolce & Gabbana (Because they wear a lot of D&G). I mean who can forget their campains/colaborations with AC Milan, Chelsea and the Italian national team?

Ny mapp

I wouldn't mind that happening with Real Madrid players.

Unfortunally I can't find anything that links the players to the brand (except for Messi who apparently got some sponsoringship going on with them. And yes, they're responisble for the polka-dot suit, that was inspired by Maradona if i got it right).
So maybe this is just the result of the boys going shopping togethe, or getting inspired by eachother

Oh well a girl can dream, I'm still hoping for a colaboration.

Now I'm just gonna ad some gorgeous pictures to emphasize this. Senast överförda4

Well only if you keep making me happy! Who thought this week would get any better after two wonderful videos? Not me, but this boy surprises us with a lovely suit picture on Instagram. He looks totally ADOOOORBS! Now I only need to know where he is and where he's going. (Did he get a stylist? Maybe he's listening to us.)

Soy muy feliz Mesut!!!

Post dedicated to ellapropella, who like me, probably feels orphaned today...

Remembering the year Mesut made three finals and won two of them...

A Trip Down Memory Lane!

Let's start with that time Mesut dumped beer all over his coach after scoring the winning goal for the Bundesliga Pokal...he was interviewed too and when he's told he's "Man des Abends" in this video his self-deprecating shrug and smile (he actually looks surprised!) is TOO CHARMING.

"Thomas Schaaf isn't fast enough for his boys!"

Why are we having this nostaglic post? Because Thomas Schaaf was sacked today by Werder Bremen after 14 years in charge. Bremen have survived the relegation fight for another year, but they are seeking to do better. And Because when Mesut played France in Bremen last year we had some very nice posts about his time at Werder Bremen under Klaus Allofs (deserted the club earlier this year for Wolfsburg) and Schaaf...and I have a few pics of Thorsten Frings...

Frankly, I think they've made a mistake. And not having the sour, dour old man on the sidelines is an awful prospect - Werder Bremen won't seem like Werder Bremen anymore... I have had a small taste today of how awful it will be when Wenger leaves Arsenal.

From Mesut's perspective (the point of this post): they are the two men who brought him to Werder Bremen as a record-signing for a teenager when Schalke 04 ditched him after unsuccessful contract negotiations. It was a very "last-minute" signing.

They were very nice to him. It was good for his career. They let him come to Madrid. Schaaf may be a sour bugger, but he was precisely what a shy lad like Mesut needed for his career.

From 11Freunde a typically funny piece in the Series "My Favourite Transfer" entitled "Vokuhila und Bierdusche" - which was written this year, actually, and remembers some fine football and some bad hair-days. German speakers are encouraged to head over. I even forgive 11Freunde for today's headline: "Werder schaafts nichts mehr" (OMFG how could they?)

English speakers can revel in my favourite part which I have translated for them and which pokes fun at Borussia Dortmund fans!

Your argument is invalid. In fact, why are you even arguing? Why are you even talking? Why are you even thinking? Shut up and enjoy the finer things in life.

(And if this is photoshopped then hush your face and let me enjoy it here in my happy little bubble for a while longer. TRALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALAAAAAAA!!)

Okay - so linguistics are not the boys' thing...

The person responsible for getting Mesut to talk in VERY BAD ENGLISH - I leave aside Lady Edith - is Michael "Mikey" Essien - bundle of joy and happiness, Mesut-bromantic interest, and the person responsible for "The Game of Hope" in Ghana - a lovely event that he hosts every year in early June. A whole bunch of Chelsea and RM players have been invited and apparently Mesut will show up if this is anything to go by! A large number of Chelsea players have already said "yes" so mark the date

Marca reports (among other sources!) that Mesut is feeling well and fit and training without pain!

Real Madrid just released this video of Mesut, Pipa, Fabio, and Rafa playing football golf. I'm in heaven any time we get to see the guys just goofing around and having fun. Mesut is, of course, adorably playful in it... but also, he speaks a little bit of Spanish!

I don't know about anyone else, but I needed this today! I'm starting to feel sad as the season is coming to an end. But happily looking forward to Friday's final!

Happy viewing!

All the players, except for Arbeloa (wife's baby due any moment) have been called up - injured or not!

So we have a sweet photograph:

Two beautiful pieces of news today!

First -

Mesut is expected to make the Copa Final next Friday! His injury, while painful, is not believed to have damaged anything! Fingers crossed!

Second -

Awwwzil...

Is this how young people express affection now-a-days? I wouldn't know ;)

Mesut has finally completely and totally confused me. He is hitting my girl and guy type at the same time.

Unbeatable Partnership

LINK

Cristiano Ronaldo's second goal against Valladolid came from a Mesut Özil corner. The Portuguese headed past Jaime in the Valladolid goal to crown yet another assist for the German.

That was the Portuguese's 20th goal from an Özil pass. Together, they have created the highest-scoring partnership in La Liga this century. The Yeste-Urzaiz and Navas-Kanouté partnerships, with 19 goals at Athletic and 18 at Sevilla respectively, are the only ones to even come close the Madrid duo’s statistics in the league.

The Özil-Cristiano Ronaldo partnership has been synonymous with success since the German's arrival at Real Madrid during the 2010/11 season. They have a great understanding on the pitch and are fully in synch. This is easy to understand when you are talking about a player like Özil, who is an expert at finding that final ball and Cristiano Ronaldo, a goal-scoring machine.

Isn't it bromantic? Meanwhile, off in Instagram land...

Within minutes of each other!

"100th La Liga appearance for Mesut Özil,
only the second German to reach that mark with Real:
45 assists and 18 goals."

True to form, he celebrated by assisting Bromantic Interest Crispy Ronaldo for the winning goal :)

Hooray!

Together, they have combined for a total of 32 goals - and isn't that bromantic?

...The Unspeakably-Subtle-Prominently-Displayed-New-Watch-Selfie is about to hit your Instagram about twice a week from now on!

A few days after cuddling with Rocky (watch prominently and subtly displayed - and what do you mean that's a paradox??) Mesut is out with another...

Look at my watch!

My next point is absolutely relevant...

The community's loveliest lady was in a special feature in OK! Magazine to discuss shoes (she does, of course, model them for JustFab) and some lovely pics are out...

Well darlings, it was awful. I began sobbing inconsolably around minute 50 and didn't stop until it ended. I was live-tweeting for a blog so that was inconvenient. I broke a plate (not entirely accidentally) and vomited after the game.

But there's always next year! And from a German perspective, only good things can happen now! And, after all, many of us are German NT fans - and these things matter for the National team and the prestige of our beloved Bundesliga.

Discovered this picture on tumblr and found this article...

Swiss watchmaker, Cyrus Genève has signed Mesut Özil, the Real Madrid football superstar and member of the German national team, as the new brand ambassador for its exclusive chronographs.

The 24-year-old star athlete will wear the stylish watch in international campaign motifs that include print, online and POS promotions. In addition, global charity projects will play a central role in the cooperation.

Laurent Lecamp, co-founder and CEO of Cyrus, said:

"I admire Mesut Özil for his precision as a sportsman as well as his characteristic modesty and sense of family. He embodies professionalism paired with vitality and team spirit. This connects him with the vision of Cyrus and makes him the ideal representative of our brand."

Mesut Özil added: "Cyrus is a strong, young brand that stands for using the finest materials to create perfect quality and the highest art of watch making. I'm intrigued by the unique, innovative design and the dedication to perfection - down to the tiniest detail. This is ex-actly my style. Therefore, the partnership with Cyrus was a perfect fit - on my wrist and in my head."

As a part of the cooperation, Mesut Özil will also get a chance to show his creativity in designing an exclusive model for Cyrus.

Somehow, I get the impression that Mesut's quote was helped-along by his publicist. :) It sounds nothing like him.

I'm hoping this will mean LOTS of pictures of his HANDS (meowliz, I know you're with me on this). And maybe a commercial or two? I've been dying for him to do some new advertisements.
