Circa-world cup hair is still my favorite (he looks very classical, very Grecian) but he looks so adorable and earnest with this hair, it's quickly winning me over.
He looks as perfect and muy feliz as always:D I often wondered if Mesut would takes a couple of photos with his phone and choose the best one or that he just puts the first photo he makes on facebook? I kind of think he does the latter, considering the fact he always looks lovely on every photo no matter what he is doing. Oh and also because I don't like to think he makes 439294 photos of himself (karim anyone?) just to pick the best ones out:P
But what the hell is going on with Özil's footwear? 1st half he wears Nike. Second half he wears Adidas. He was slipping a lot in the first half, but so were others so I don't think it were his boots, yet he changed them during the break. Erm, isn't that a big no-no, especially considering the current lawsuit thing? Am I missing something here??
I noticed it too. I guess he gets fined for 150.000 euros now. Of course considering his salary it's less than nothing, but it is whatsoever bad publicity for Mes.
Whatever happened to THAT scandal, anyway? Last I heard Benz and Ribery had to appear in court ... and no one's mentioned anything ever since. I don't even know if they actually were in court! For a sex scandal this one sure is a dud.
I suppose having sex with under-aged prostitutes is a more serious crime than flip-flopping on footwear (Understatement Of The Week), but still, wtf is he up to with that stunt? I want to give him the benefit of the doubt that something was arranged behind the scenes and that he's allowed to wear both for now while the parties work things out ... but that just sounds too optimistic. Wasn't he supposed to wear unbranded shoes to begin with? Him wearing both brands in one match is akin to me, aged 7, glaring defiantly at my already displeased mum before purposefully smearing more finger paint on the already besmirched wall. I doubt the court will spank Mesut with a comb (though if they're looking for someone to execute that punishment I gayly volunteer!), but this does seem a bit bold on his behalf.
I seriously think he's just not happy with his Nike boots. Before the game you could see him "pulling and pushing" his boots in the players tunnel. He's not comfortable with them. But really interesting to see how this whole boots thing develops :)
Btw are you still going to the friendly match against The Netherlands in the Arena. I was in doubt, however after the Sweden game I'm becoming more liking to go. Because sure, after Sweden, Low would not play the 'substitue' players right??? Would really hate it to go and not see Ozil, Reus, Schweinsteiger and the others play.
Also, I never gave two farts about boots and kits and stuff, but boy I never knew the world of sporting sponsorship could be so gripping! Here I am actually following the developing story of Özil v Nike/Adidas O_o'
Bad publicity is getting caught with under-age prostitutes a la Benzema. This is pretty minor.
My thoughts exactly. For some reason, this case has been in my mind lately. I used to like Ribery. Here's hoping Mes never ever does anything even nearly as stupid.
About the boots... I noticed Adidas boots in the game and gave no much thought to it "I guess he knows what he's doing", but then saw a pic of him wearing Nike boots in the same match today. 8o "Did he just do the unthinkable? :D What's up with the boy?!"
Well, bought my ticket a month ago, so I've gotta go now whether I like it or not. (Hey, stranger, if you DO go maybe we should meet up to swap Mesut fangirly hysteria! XD) I REALLY hope Löw will not pull a Germany v Italy Euro 2012 semi and mess too much with the lineup, but luckily I am a massive German national team fan so regardless of who's on the pitch I'll be happy ... Besides, at the very least I know Özil WILL play because he is hardly ever left out of the starting lineup and so far has played very well for his country. Not sure about Khedira, though. Poor guy looks like he returned from injury too early :(
You're absolutely right, it doesn't really matter who Low will let play. Most of them are great anyway! But still, it would be great if he uses the 'normal' line-up.
Oh I so want to go now. I don't have tickets yet, however a friend of my can get tickets through her job, so she's trying. I'll definitely get back to you if she does...a fangirl meet up would be great. Although I'm not that great in fangirling...Just so you now I'm very reserved ;) Then again I'll be in a whole stadium full of Dutch Fans, it would be a bad thing to go crazy :)
Nonsense! To be a Bambi lover you HAVE to be fangirly! It probably says so in our manifesto or something :P Well, at the very least it would be fun to meet some fellow Özil/die Mannschaft fans in person. And, yeah, I'm going undercover. Will be wearing orange, but if and when Germany scores I'll be do a happy little jig in my head :)
As a fellow Dutch Mesut fan it would be awesome to make our own Dutch Mesut fanwoman group,while quietly cheering for Mesut in the Dutch stand;) Unfortunately I won't go to the game but I would love to hear your stories! x
Everything is Gorgeous M1Ö and nothing hurts they said...he's killing meee... I watched the late pregame and find out Mesut and Reus so nice to exchange some words in tunnel with Mario smiling behind. What a buddy.
