GIMME HOPE JOACHIM! Gooo Deutschland!

[exsequar]

In order to distract myself from the semi-sucking black hole that is my real life at the moment, I am going to talk about the only bright spot: the German national football team. *___* I LOVE THESE BOYS SO MUCH. However in the last couple days, they have also been a source of stress, because I am so worried about Germany vs Argentina tomorrow that I could puke. Literally, I feel nauseated. The shit talking and mind games have not helped either - Basti and Lahm, I love you deeply, but please stop running your mouths. :(

So in order to re-focus myself on something super positive and excellent, I am going to picspam my dearest darling bbs and all of the joyful adorable things that they have done at this World Cup! They REALLY REALLY like to hug each other, you guys. IT KIND OF MAKES MY LIFE.

Come coo at the pretty boys with me! AND HOLD MY HAND AND TELL ME MY LIFE WON'T END TOMORROW.





LOOK HOW MUCH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. ♥


Victorious over England! Yayes!


HUGS ALL AROUND.


Our coaches always MATCH. What is this I can't even. Jogi and Hansi. <333


SPEAKING OF JOGI: GIMME HOPE JOACHIM! This video is saving my LIFE right now. LAHM IS STANDING ON A STOOL. POLDI AND BASTI ARE HOLDING HANDS. SO MUCH JOY I CAN'T EVEN.

PAJAMAS.


Ok so not this World Cup, but BOWLING FOR GERMANS. Ilthemsfm.


Ahahah. ARE YOU BLIND?! Frequent answer: yes.


Sigh.


Poooooldi the pretty ballerina!


POLDI LOVES HIS CAPTAIN SO MUCH.


SO FREAKING MUCH. Ahhhhhh JOY.


sdflkjlsdkjf. BOING BOING BOING GO THE GERMANS. Eeeeee.


Half of my photos are named "name name POUNCE". Because they just JUMP on each other. Ahhhh I love it.


LEMME IN GUYS! I NEED TO SNUGGLE SOMEONE, LIKE, REAL BAD!


Klose I see you gettin a piece of DAT ASS!


Suuuuper Poldiiiii!


<3333333


I find Bastian Schweinsteiger unbearably attractive. Call him Basti, Schweini, Herr Schweinsteiger, I don't care - I LOVE THIS BOY MAN.


HIPBONE. *gnaws*


Unffff.


GAH POOR BASTI. When they thought he wouldn't play against England, I was GUTTED. Look at his poor bundled up self. :((( BUT HE PREVAILED AND WAS MAGNIFICENT YAY.





I would take this over Cristiano Ronaldo ANY day. Bulging veiny over-bronzed muscles? Uh, no thank you. Gimme lean and pasty aaaany day. Nom nom nom nom.


HOW DID THIS GET IN HERE? Ahem.


Hiiiiii Basti Hi. ♥


THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE SERIES OF PHOTOS FROM THIS WORLD CUP.


Tiny Germans: Gotta catch em all!


Mertesacker's aiming for a whole set!


SMIIIISH. sdlfkjsldkjsdf oh my god dying. The teeny ones are ~5'6" while Mertesacker is 6'5". HILARITY.



Arne Friedrich (with the Herbal Essences hair) REALLY LIKES TO HUG HIS TEAMMATES. I have dubbed him the Hug Monster.


He's just SO FLIPPING GOOD AT HUGS. I can't even stand how freaking adorable they are. *____*


MORE TINY LAHM HILARITY.


I really really really really love this dude. He was my insta-favorite in World Cup 2006, when I knew NOTHING about this team and noticed him for his amazing speed, agility, and intelligence with the ball. And now he's CAPTAIN. I'm so proud of my tiny bb.








Klose has a Lahm and you can't have one! Lahm's assist in the Australia game was beyond gorgeous, omg.


Haaaay gurl haaaay.


MOAR POUNCING YAY.








Epic picture is epic. O HAI STEVIE.


SO FUCKING TINY. *puts in pocket*


\o/


Best macro EVAR. This other tiny boy (HE'S TWENTY) (but actually not short) has been a revelation!


He's totally entitled to spontaneous piggyback rides from the vice captain.


THOMAS MUELLER WHAT IS YOUR FACE.


Neuuuuer! I find him ridiculously precious. He's made some great saves too! Hopefully he can stand up against Messi and Tevez!


Neuer's also in on the collecting little ones game! :D


Sometimes their joy and mutual love is almost overwhelming. *_____*


\o/


OEZILLLL! The wunderkind! FLYING! How appropriate. :D


Teeeeeeeeeeam.


The crinkles at Basti's eyes kill me. :D


sdflkjlkjsdfd. Maybe they're not the prankster pals they once were, but you can't tell me there isn't a river of emotion there. This is right after Poldi missed his PK (sniff), and what does Basti do? Immediately jump in to keep him from beating himself up. Sigh.


They just kill me.


They also still celebrate, of course. :D


MAYBE MY FAVORITE GIF OF THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT OMG. HALF NAKED PATTING AND HEAD TOUCHING. Whyyyy are there not a million photos of this moment??


I DON'T COMPREHEND THE PHYSICS OF THIS PHOTO. Which direction is Mueller moving? Why does it look like Poldi just pushed him through the air? Why is Basti so amazing? Oh wait. :D


This is apparently how practice goes among the Germans. SIGH HEARTS ETC.


Fuck. Yes.


Dead dead dead.


Have I mentioned that Arne Friedrich is fucking gorgeous? BECAUSE HE IS.





Best hug in ALL THE WORLD EVER. He has his EYES CLOSED and his face SMUSHED INTO PER'S CHEST. sdlfkjsdf.


Cacau is super pretty toooo! Love the glasses.


Nom nom nom.


Friedrich is like a super affectionate dad to everyone. It's so great.


WHY IS THIS BLURRY idec because omg beauty. :')



DIE NATIONALMANNSCHAFT, MY FRIENDS. May they soar again tomorrow! ♥♥♥

there's less than an hour till the match begins and I am a shaking pile of nervousness and anxiety right now but looking at this just calmed me down a bit. ♥ thanks for compiling this lovely post!

National Anthems just played

Saw your post from loewsmiserables and I absolutely love your picspam! So many great moments, I love how team-like (for lack of a better word) they are.

Have I mentioned that Arne Friedrich is fucking gorgeous? BECAUSE HE IS.

AMEN! xD

Even as an England fan, I can still show respect where it's due. There are playing really well against Argentina and I hope they go on and win it. Regardless of what happens though, if they stick to the same squad they are going to be a POWERHOUSE in 2014, holy shit, I would be scared to come up against them, just think how much they can improve on what is already bloody good in 4 years. YIKES.

CONGRATULAAATIONS, BB!!! I was so nervous I kept going in and out of the room, I couldn't watch for more than five minutes at a time.

It wasn't nearly as heartbreaking as the last time, though. Germany deserved it!

CUDDLES NOW PLEASE. :D

♥!!!

*saves everything to hard drive*

HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE ARNE IS HOT?

[tarocake.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the awesome post!! I have *never* been interested in sports but this team has made me so, so happy. I think I would be crushed if they didn't get through today, but once again, they delivered ♥

I can't begin to describe to others, how skilled but also how *adorable* the team is. They need to be directed to your post, because it covers the "everything else" we love about them, besides playing amazing football. I wish I had seen this before the game this morning because you can't believe how anxious I was as well. Thank you again!

[peaceinyou.livejournal.com]

I really wish I could see all these, but it looks like the Photobucket bandwidth has run out? In any case... ICH LIEBE DEUTSCHLAND ♥

[earrch.livejournal.com]

Damn! I'm finding those guys the height of gorgeous. And we average Spaniards are supposed to win against this beauty...? ;-)

[anamie-me.livejournal.com]

YOU MADE ME CRY WITH THIS POST. serious, legit tears in my eyes tears. Omg, so EPIC. So much emotions and feelings I can't take it. My heart is overflowing <3 <3 <333

Germany, you're my team always and forever. I ♥ you. Please to be destroying Spain kthx.

[missedshapes.livejournal.com]

Late to the party but anyway I LOVE THIS PICSPAM. They are seriously the most adorable group of ball-kicking men ever.

[delumieres.livejournal.com]

I live in Spain but FUCK THAT I AM ROOTING FOR GERMANY. I MEAN, LOOK.AT.THEM.

[wepretend.livejournal.com]

OMG, THIS. *________________*


Hey have you ever seen the movie about them and the worldcup 2006? Unfortunately there are no english subtitles for it, but it's available on Youtube, if you haven't seen it. Because EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE IT. ♥

[grrliz.livejournal.com]

I have no idea how I got to this post but I am thrilled that I did!!!

[applesuicide.livejournal.com]
