Now Arriving: France, Germany, Italy & Spain

Airplanes around Europe are trembling under the weight of hair gel and headphones right now as the national teams, fully prepared for battle, make their way to Poland and Ukraine. The staff at Galileo Galilei International in Pisa were on an especially high, Mario-Balotelli-is-in-the-building alert yesterday, but the striker seemed in a good mood and managed to get through customs without having any of his hats seized.

The ‘ballers from Deutschland, in what was by far the worst departure or arrival outfits we’ve seen, sashayed across Gdańsk Airport’s tarmac after disembarking yesterday, while Spain striker Fernando Llorente received a basket of bread on behalf of his international teammates upon arriving at their training base in Gniewino, Poland (also on Tuesday).
Finally, France touched down in Donetsk today, in plenty of time for their opener against England on Monday. Olivier Giroud wore shorts on the plane. It did nothing to dissuade us from the notion that he is always ready for action.
Let the improper thoughts continue unabated!



I used to be suggested this blog via my cousin. I am not sure whether this put up is written through him as no one else realize such targeted about my trouble. You’re wonderful! Thank you!
Ozil's days in Madrid with coaching and mentoring from Ronaldo and The Ramos have really made him quite the cutie.
I think Spain takes it for 'Most Dapper Arrival' although the Germans aren't too far behind. Although Giroud definitely put France in the running for 'Most Likely to get their kits torn clean off if ever in my presence' rawr!
Ozil is soo chill
Damn…The Germans’ blue jacket is hideous…I hope it’s not from Strenesse….
Italia photo… one of those three doesn't belong there!

I like Germany's outfit! :O Is it really that bad? Or my taste is bad, haha! Aargh, never mind – who cares what they are wearing as long it is nice to watch?
No I think the outfits make them look fantastic! The jackets are fine too….
We are in for a treat this summer!
I like the Germans' outfit. The colors are summery and the fabric is lightweight. I guess their jacket is made of linen. Love the taupe shoes too. Spain's and Italy's a bit too stuffy and France is too casual.
oh my gosh, this summer is going to be HOT!!!
Once they took off those hideous jackets, the Germans totally rocked that outfit though, Mats especially: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m53m5aK3WD1qiz6…

Looking at that picture, i hear the theme song to "Malcolm in the Middle" but with the words "Bambi in the Middle"
Spain NT looks so elegant and France NT looks soooo cool! xD
Ha, Llorente looks pleased with his loaf.
PAHAHA that made me chuckle! Too funny :')
Cesc's like "oooh bread, can I have a bite?" lol
Mesut Ozil <3 He gets finer and finer everytime I look at him <3 and yes, they should stop wearing clothes….
England arrived in Poland today aswell?
annndddd your point is?…..nah just kidding:P
LMAOOOO!
I see what you did there

Mario Gomez perfect !!
I still don't understand why they always put the german team in clothing…
Us neither but they should really stop doing that.
Hahaha! My thoughts exactly.
Brilliant.
