crinkly_earsBoys Drinking Cola: A Silhouette, General Fashion Review, Random Samisut,
& The State of The Ear!
& The State of The Ear!
All right then: a few Mannschaft boys - Tim Wiese, Ilkay Gundogan, Ron-Robert Zieler, Sami Khedira and our very own Mesut Ozil were caught slinking around town questionably dressed, drinking cola and just hanging around looking adorable. As always, the photographs are a gold-mine for those of us who approach these things forensically. We begin with...
The Silhouette
a;ldskfjlsdkfj
I know! It's a miracle! In a group of boys from one of his teams Mesut is not only arguably the best dressed (more on that below) but his silhouette is just unspeakable. Look at this beautiful boy! He should be on a cat-walk in a Paris fashion show! That we all know he has a wonderfully shuffling, unprepossessing walk is only adding to the appeal, I have to be honest.
I mean to say: obviously - none of them are particularly well dressed, Mesut included, but still...
Let's just zoom in for a second...
Ahem...
General Fashion Review
On nice thing about following footballers: you never have to worry about falling behind in your knowledge of bizarrely over-priced, trashy Euro youth fashion. Mesut, in all basic-black, was patently the best dressed of the bunch - which is unusual. Sami, who is actually only better dressed than Mesut on a day-to-day basis to the extent that v-necks looks less silly on him, was wearing what we would normally expect from Mesut: weird shirt, questionable neck-line, clashing jacket and backwards hat with over-sized sun-glasses to complete the look. The boy could even use a hair-cut! Uncanny...
He has been possessed by a Mesuty fashion force!
Our motley crew of modern-day-heroes made their way into a sea-side sports bar -
Tim Wiese looks all right too: but those tattoos are a little cliched, I think.
Where they drank some coca-cola -
And Mesut was possessed by a Sami-texting force. We are used to Sami texting and irritating Mesut. This time it was Mesut texting away
The State of the Ear
We are happy to note that Mesut's ear remains as crinkly as ever!
Mesut and his right ear getting along with Tim Wiese - more on that below!
Bromantic Alert
I feel like a Sun Tabloid writer at this point. Observe Ilkay Gundogan, for example. Here he is sitting next to Mesut trying to look casual. He's recently said he admires Mesut and considers him his role-model. This must be bromantically significant, yes?
And then there's Tim Wiese, who famously had a snit in front of a pack of journalists shortly after Mesut left Werder Bremen to inform them that he'd never seen a less organized midfield from his privileged view in the goal-mouth: "We were shit. We are missing Ozil, and Aaron Hunt isn't cutting it..." I have noted before now that Mesut is one of the few people on earth who can routinely get him to smile.
Samisut
I feel this picture speaks for itself -
"I feel like we're the only two people here..."
Who needs The Sun - in either sense - when you have Samisut?

Date: 2012-06-20 05:17 pm (UTC)If you have time sometime please watch this (which I've embedded for you) - it's a biography of his early life - an hour of your time you'll never regret losing.
He's even better now - his teammates love him, he's first to arrive at practice and last to leave. He loves playing pranks on teammates. Every teammate who arrives at Madrid says that CR7 was the first player to approach them with helpful advice and that he's kind and affable to the younger players especially (the cantera idolize him).
There are things that the documentary glosses over. For example: when he was 16 he set home his academy pay-cheque to pay for his brother's rehab. His whole family live with him - and he's just the baby of the family taking responsibility for everyone. He never drinks because his dad died of alcoholism.
Also: from this documentary you get the impression his childhood had a charming aspect to it that probably wasn't there - when it rained the family home's roof would leak all over and the family would have to put buckets all over to catch the water. The house was crumbling. The father had (as intimated above) alcohol problems. His mother slaved away as a cook (first thing he did when he signed for Manchester United was to tell her she'd never have to work again).
There are also tiny things: the family's fear about his lack of money at the academy or nice clothes (ie., fear he'd be bullied).
He's a divisive figure, of course. He's such a perfectionist on the pitch. But when he flaps his arms or rolls his eyes or is frustrated it's always at himself. He's always good to his teammates. And there's something charming about missing the goal when your team is 4 goals up and being so disappointed it's an extreme perfectionism that all coaches love (related to a chaotic early life?).
One more thing: his past girlfriends sold stories about him to the tabloids, but he won't say a word about them in public. He's a gent!

Date: 2012-06-20 06:56 pm (UTC)If there's a player on earth who loves showing off his body more (there were hilarious scenes after the game with Austria in September when Mesut was offered a jacket by Lukas Podolski after the game and would not put it on even though it was past 10 and very cool - Poldi was teasing him about it!) then I certainly haven't come across him!
He knew

Date: 2012-06-20 07:12 pm (UTC)When he's just on the pitch and has no idea he's on camera and he's just smiling at a teammate -
- he's irresistible!
YES - watch the thing. Even if you don't end up liking him (which I think will be impossible btw because he's funny and charming) it is like a model for what a footballing documentary of a young player should be like: interviews with fascinating people (his Mum, sisters, agent, MOURINHO - who was still at Chelsea! Fergie, Scolari etc...)
Also - I think there's a good chance Portugal will be in the final with Germany so it's almost like staking out the opposition!

Date: 2012-06-20 07:53 pm (UTC)I am always transfixed by his muscles. The one her right middle-finger is just grazing...it's like an addiction at this point ;)

Date: 2012-06-20 07:58 pm (UTC)Last time we asked what type of fruit he'd be and stuff like that - we'd need new questions for the silly stuff. But location, football loyalties, favourite bromances (comment decoration as proof encouraged etc...) that would be fun!
Also: favourite belly pic - stuff like that!
Get back to me either way - we could have fun making it whenever you have time over the next week or so!

Date: 2012-06-20 08:00 pm (UTC)That outfit is nice from a distance but up close it's very feminine.
All I'm checking out is the booty though. Anything that emphasises his boyish figure and that booty is fine by me.
