Kissing. Hugging. Jumping into the arms of a teammate and wrapping your legs around his waist. Running around in just your underwear. Piling on top of each other. Swapping shirts.

So much more masculine forms of celebration than American football.

And you’re right, Luis — less ass-patting, but much more kissing in this variety of football. (Kissing on the cheek, I mean. Of course.)

Just watching Trezeguet play fills me with rage, Laurie. He’ll be, say, wandering over to talk to a woman in the stand, and the ball will bounce accidentally off his hand and go in the for the winning goal (since this is Juve, the hand part will be ignored). It’s so unjust!

There’s a lot of love man love in football, but at least they don’t go around patting each other on the ass like the NFL. :-) Well, not usually.

My challenge to you: Every time you talk about pretty Ronaldo, you need to come up with a really gay-looking picture. This one is a good start.

(But no. He’s just METROsexual.)

And I was REALLY hoping that Trezeguet’s luck-seeming goals were my imagination. Trezeguet breaks my maternal heart.
