aww, alvaro and his family are too cute!he looks hot! his wife is soo pretty!! his daughter has some amazing genes.
good for you, alvaro!
The Arbeloa family is adorable! As jealous as I am of the Spanish/RM WAGs, I have to hand it to them for seeming down to earth and normal
Thanks, Kickette, for giving Brian McBride a little shout-out – his abs will truly be missed!
Alvaro I looooove your tweets! They are so sweet and funny at the same time
I never knew his tweets would be that great! Haha!
And by the way I think his wife dressed him… again.. *Xabi I'm looking at you* xD
Arbeloa & fam are adorable! Love them
Love the happy family photo of Arbeloa! He looks great in those shades
Read the comments from Lisa Muller from the link, and this struck me: Lisa: "I did not score any goals, I did not play such a great football as Thomas did, either. So, I didn't achieve that and therefore I consider it difficult that one makes a fuss about me when I just-, I am just a normal woman and just am married with Thomas, who now made such an advancement, and as I said, I just am happy for my husband."
Wow. Perspective is a beautiful thing. It made me realize all the more why English WAGs will always strive to be something they are not. And please, don't get me wrong, I obviously do not know any of them personally ergo I don't not have a personal opinion of any of them (or their respective spouses- I base my opinions of them by what I see on the pitch), however they, time and time again when presented in the press, seem to behave like little girls playing dress-up.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong- I find the more I learn the less I seem to know, which is alright by me.
And yes, it looks like someone looks forward to the Miniesta getting here!!! (with that and Fern's soon-to-be-born son, I think we're going to have to brace ourselves for a new round of ovary explosions, haha!)
What is it in the Spanish (and Italian, for that matter) water that seems to produce seemingly sane, sweet, down-to-earth WAGs? Ones who dress like normal people and seem to behave like it too?
PS: Carlota is prettyyyyyyyyy. And has a good eye for style too, if what Xabi said in El Pais -that Alvaro looks good only on days when his wife dressed him- was right.
Awwww. Alvaro and Carlota are melting my heart. She's so lovely!
I think Lisa Muller is fast becoming a favorite WAG of mine. She and Thomas are just too cute for words!
Álvaro!!!!! I love my Real Madrid boys!!!! I bet that baby is a cutie pie!
Also, Álvaro tweets crack me up!!!
well done PETA!
Yayyyy to…
- Carlota Ruiz for looking like a Mom and treating her offspring like a baby and not an accessory
Booo to…
- Danielle Lloyd for Twitter begging and treating her baby like an accessory.
Heartliy agree!!!!
Very much agree!
DC United's Jaime Moreno also retired on Saturday night. His farewell was heartfelt and he scored his 133rd career goal :')
Looking good, Alvaro! Wonder what the Twitter king has to say about Higuain's noob fail of a tweet over the weekend.

Alvaro looks fab here!
And the family looks so cute together!
You must have had bad hangovers, Kickettes, those Barca boys goal celebrations were from LAST week's game!
This week was all Messi!
Was hungover myself – just found out the hard way that you can have too much of a good thing….Champagne!
I was super confused about that myself!
Haha, i just saw this! I sometimes gets confused about days. But weeks?! Well you can´t see those celebrations too many times. I hope they will repeat them many times this season!
Jeez, how many footballers own those Don Corleone t-shirts?
And as much as I love Victoria Beckhams designs, I was disappointed when I found out she was using animal skins for her new handbags. It's not necessary, is it?
