Diego Forlan: Status Quo

World Cup Golden Ball winner Diego Forlan (Uruguay) jetted off with his girlfriend, Zaira Nara for their hols in Miami on Saturday. Since Diego is the Patron Saint of Abs expect some of this, a little bit of that, and lots of this. Image via twitter.com/diegoforlan7 

It seems Diego Forlan, much like the rest of us, seems to have taken inspiration from Iker Casillas and Sara Carbonero’s post-World Cup smootch. While in Buenos Aires, appearing on his gal, Zaira Nara’s show La Cocina en Show, he was congratulated on his excellent work for Uruguay during the World Cup and the audience asked that they say goodbye with a kiss.

Zaira said: “We don’t usually kiss in public, but it’s OK…” And cue snog.
If you’d like to see the video, which is lacking a tad in the rampant heat and awkwardness that was Iker/Pastasauce, click here. It’s obvious Diego is rather shy (as his goal celebrations often demonstrate, ahem); Zaira was the one who took the initiative.

Thanks K!

Sergio Ramos: Charity Win, Follicular Fail

We never want to mock or scorn footballers who take time out from their holidays to do charity work. That’s why we’re saying nothing. Nothing at all. Not a corn-rowed, plaited, braid of a word about Sergio Ramos and his head game situ in Senegal while working with UNICEF.

We will, however, say a few words about home-girl on Sergio’s right: Caught in the blinding headlights of Sergio’s hair crime; riveted, unable to move nor blink; transfixed; dazed, yet also intrigued and a little curious. And possibly itchy.

We have much to catch up on today, from weddings to engagement rumours to abs that need judging, so we will be brief: there is nothing Sergio can do that will stop us from loving him and wanting to have mad, hot monkey sex with him. We survived the green jeans, and God willing, we will survive this hair travesty of the highest order.

Bonus: Compare and contrast Sergio’s 2010 plaits with David Beckham’s 2003 version.
