crinkly_earsUm ... yeah, so ... this guy:
Marko Marin
Mention him one time and aaaaaaalllllllllllll of a sudden everyone's raving about this guy and I'm stuck doing a Marksut spam at four in the goddamn morning. Had to go and do research and shit to know what I'm even talking about. Not that fun/sweet tidbits didn't come out of that, mind you. This line taken from his Wiki page is both touching yet sad:
"[Marko Marin] was a part of Bremen's thrilling attack comprising Aaron Hunt and Mesut Özil, which lit up the Weserstadion. In the 2010–11 season, he showed his quality, scoring four league goals and providing 11 assists.
Following the departure of Özil to Real Madrid in August 2010, however, Marin's form dropped noticeably, as he notched only one goal and five assists during Bremen's 2011–12 Bundesliga campaign."
Marin's career, from what I can tell, has been a bit hit and miss. He's been called the "German Messi" (as has Mesut), and he has shone brightly on several occasions at club level, yet he struggled to make it on to the final squad. He succeeded twice (Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010) yet both times he was used mainly as a substitute and failed to keep his place on the national team after both tournaments. He currently plays for Chelsea. Oh, and he's the proud papa of his pug:
Congratulations, you've just booked yourself a place on my list of boinkable footballers based on this tweet alone.
Marko and Mesut only played at Werder Bremen together for a year before Mesut transferred to Real Madrid, but the two got on like a house on fire.
I would make a dirty joke about Marko's hand, but instead I'll just point it out and leave the rest up to your imaginations. Be creative!
Is Özil gonna hafta choke a bitch?
Guys on bikes make me go all putty in my pants. It's a Dutch thing, I guess.
And when one of them gets a flat tire ...
... plane it is then!
That one guy on the Werder Bremen PR team with insensitive sense of humor must have been wringing his hands together with glee when Marin joined the club. Oh, fun with height jokes!
How huggably tiny do you have to be to make Mesut look like a giant?
And here I was all proud of Holland being the first country to legalize gay marriage. But no, Germany just had to up the ante by sanctioning gay polygamy! They get certificates and everything!
But, of course, our boys aren't gayoutside of my midnight chocolate covered fantasies and do enjoy the company of the womenfolk ...
(Oh, Anna Maria ... Somewhere Jenny still has a tear to shed in memory of you.)
Werder Bremen:
I hated it too when one of my friends came to school on class photo day wearing the same outfit! And then the teacher thought it was cute so she made us stand together and my friend's looking all like, "I told you I'd be wearing this today, you cow!" and I'm like, "Pssssh. Whatev. You're short and we're in the second row so no one will be seeing your outfit anyway."
Either these two are really vulnerable to sunlight, or they mastered synchronized bitch faces right quick.
Sleeveless pics are a bleak reminder as to why winter's the work of the Devil.
... What you say? There's no Marko in this pic? Dude, THIGH!! And ARMS!!
And speaking of thighs ...
"Coach, there's love afoot! Signal the others!"
"O" is for the only Özil I see ...
Die Mannschaft:
So THAT's the guy in the corner!
Feeling a little neglected, Marko? :(
Join in the fun!
Why do I get the feeling that Neuer's the mother hen of the group?
"Nah, don't be afraid of Holger: he always looks pissed!"
"You sure? He looks like he's about to punch Thomas just for talking to him!"
Awwww, we're nearing the end of the post and I have no (semi) NEKID Marksut-related Mesut pic for you guys ...
Oh, go on then. Have this one on the house!
(Gosh, he looks young here. Here's to hoping posting this won't put me on some list ... )
But as Mesut's international fame grew; as the praise and accolades flooded in, Marko felt more and more left behind ...
Sadly, all good things must come to an end. While Marko's World Cup 2010 performance didn't exactly take the world by storm, his other half's rampaging success meant that Mesut was swept up and away, all the way to Spain, into the arms of Khedira (and half of the Real dressing room). Nothing was as it was. Every time Marko would walk into the locker room there would be no shy grin to greet him. On the field he felt disconnected from the rest, his heart bleeding as he wished he would look up and see Mesut spiritedly sprinting alongside him towards the hapless defense. After bravely struggling to carry the legacy of Marksut at Werder Bremen on his slender, tired shoulders, he found it too painful a memory to bear alone. He traveled far to escape his past, across the waters to a distant arcane land, where he was welcomed by the Blue Clan into their eclectic mix. But even as he tried to mend his broken heart and soul he could never forget his crinkly-eared companion and he knew that never would he find true love such as that again--
Daaaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnn, you do recover nicely, don't you, Marko? But I must ask, though, where does this flourishing connection stem from? I'm positive Marko and Fernando are, by nature, two lovably pleasant guys who make friends easily, and yet the cynical side of me wonders whether there's a not-so-hidden motive behind their budding friendship? Spanish national player linking up with a former Werder Bremen player, eh ... ?
FAAAAAAAAAAACK, OUT OF POPCORN! Don't start without me!!

Date: 2013-01-18 03:54 am (UTC)so quick, so awesome, so well researched, again SO FUNNY, and what a nice twist at the end (i was not aware he was so close with torres, haha).
you're awesome. i know i am stealing this clever comment from someone else (sorry), but there must really be a career out there for you where this incredible talent is appreciated. :-)))))))
ps. aren't they the cutest?! "Following the departure of Özil to Real Madrid in August 2010, however, Marin's form dropped noticeably, as he notched only one goal and five assists during Bremen's 2011–12 Bundesliga campaign." -> heartbreaking :(

Date: 2013-01-21 03:12 pm (UTC)Which is true - but THE LOVE WAS GONE.
I'll never forget Tim Wiese after Werder lost a big game and were struggling with relegation: "We are missing Mesut Ozil. And Aaron Hunt isn't cutting it!".
Like woah boy! That's kinda mean, but it also throws up bromantic potential. Consider: he has Wiese's jersey in his home (Bild interview)! And I have always said: Mesut is the only person who can make him smile!

Date: 2013-01-21 05:35 pm (UTC)For me as a Werder Bremen fan the world cup 2010 and all the özil euphoria was wonderful and everything - but it was painful to witness what happened to Bremen after he left. He just makes everyone around him so much better, so with him gone - well, Wiese nailed it.
I feel like Werder never really recovered. For a long time they'd always had that one genius play maker (Micoud, Özil, Diego) everybody else was counting on and since Özil left that position if just... vacant. Schaaf says they're starting anew blablabla and building this new young team for the long run - I hope he kows what he's doing. So far their performance this season has been - mixed. As I'm sure you know: They just lost 5:0 to Dortmund. :-((((((

made me GUFFAW out loud. Well, so much of it did, but that in particular.
And I appreciate the gratuitous leg shots!
Something about Mesut in green... mmmmmmmm.

Date: 2013-01-18 11:48 am (UTC)I say you've done an AMAZING research!!!! (dang i have never seen half of those WB days pictures!)
There must be a reason why Serzil happened of course. I'm happy to see Marko recover THAT fast! AAwwww he's a lovely adorable huggable teeny weeny hobbit :3 (which of Mesut's and/or Nando's bromance would make them look as tall as Gandalf srsly? this size difference kink is incurable) (even at this moment i still can't believe that Marko is actually 1.70 m) (he's a teeny bit taller than me) (ohhhh howww)
ANOTHER BATTLESHIP...i mean SHIP BATTLE!! (but nah come on)
And about Marko's dog...it's the same breed with Rocky, no? And it seems to be just as big as Rocky. I just have to add this:
to show my point but then i got lost...what was i talking about? Marko's adorable eyes? Smile?

Also - I never noticed that growing bromance between Fernando and Marko, but I'll definitely have to keep an eye on it. Their bitchfaces match perfectly!

They were about to win the U21 together! They've just arrived in Sweden together!
And then at the World Cup in 2010 - so sweet:
There will never be another Anna Maria! Her tag will live on in this community forever! It was the first one I created, actually.
On the subject of love-affairs: if Mandy joins us, her pug and Rocky will make friends.
Oh your ending. Oh. Oh. Oh. Darling Ladya - I adore you! Have I told you lately how much? I ADORE YOU IN CAPITAL LETTERS
You'll have to do Claudio Pizarro one day. I have quotes for you about them!
Oh - nearly forgot!
Bambi & Clover: A Bromance!
Once again - my dearest darling - BRILLIANT!
