The Footie Conversion

Hello and thanks for visiting my tumblr.
This blog was originally started to introduce my friends to the wonderful world of football and football players.
You can expect posts about a variety of players and teams but I must forewarn you that, although I aim to keep this blog
as neutral as possible, like any person, I am subject to occasional bias.
I support Arsenal FC, FC Barcelona, Netherlands NT, Spain NT, and I have a major soft spot for Germany NT.
(And yes, I supported all these teams BEFORE World Cup 2010)
I find photos from various sources online, but I almost always color/crop/edit/etc. them, so please reblog.
I've seen some of my pictures/graphics floating around tumblr (and livejournal) uncredited, so let's please try to keep that to a minimum.
While I love many aspects of football, this blog is not trying to be anything more than it is...
so embrace your shallow side and enjoy the eye-candy ;).

Re-watching this to get pumped up for Euro qualifiers. Haha, everyone is so drunk :P.

If you love your mom, repost this. One girl didn’t and her mom died 4 days later.

Players We’ve Missed: Thomas Vermaelen

The World Cup is over and the days are just getting longer as we wait for our favorite players to return from vacation and for club football to restart (unless, of course, you are one of the lucky few MLS fans). Still, we were all witness to some very talented, very gorgeous men during the World Cup, so we can’t really complain. However, there are just as many fantastic players who did not get the opportunity to kick it in South Africa and deserve just as much love and fangirling as the rest (and probably need it more). Thus, I present you with a new feature: “Players We’ve Missed,” or alternatively, “Hottest Players Not to Play at the World Cup”. The goal? To provide old-timers with pictures of their favorite players, and for all you lovelies who are new to the game, to hopefully introduce you to someone else to fangirl other than Fernando Torres. Haha, I’m just kidding ;) …sort of.

We start things off with a personal favorite of mine: Thomas Vermaelen.

Name: Thomas Vermaelen
Nickname: The Verminator, Verma
Age: 24
Position: Centre Back 
Current Club: Arsenal FC
Previous Club: AFC Ajax
National Team: Belgium NT (Captain)

“Some of my friends we call people, joking, pretending to be someone else. I thought maybe it was one of the guys. It’s guys from the national team, Jan Vertonghen and Moussa Dembélé, these guys are phoning everybody so for the first few seconds I was listening really, really carefully but after a few seconds I knew it was really him.”

- Thomas Vermaelen on receiving the phone call from Arsene Wenger

Why should you support him?
This man can best be summarized by one word: fierce. He’s been an immediate favorite with Arsenal fans when he scored a fantastic header in his Premier League debut and Arsenal’s opening blowout (6-1) against Everton FC. Since then he has played a key role in Arsenal’s defense last season with 45 starts (notable considering Arsenal’s injury plagued season) and coupled with his impressive performances for the national team, caused the manager of the Belgium NT to promote him to captain. He may be a defender but he also has a remarkable goal count, scoring 8 for Arsenal, including a marvelous strike against Wigan that even Robin Van Persie admitted he would be proud of. Thomas Vermaelen is handsome with cheekbones that could cut ice, and he offers up a fantastic amount of tounge porn. What is there not to love?
