Um...The game ended 15 minutes ago, Dan.

Thanks, though.

Spain could just as easily been called for encroachment on the first penalty kick (Paraguay's) as well. That would have given Paraguay a second chance there...

So people only talk about the games while they're going on? People don't discuss them after they're over? And there's nothing to discuss before the next game starts?

Foreskins! Body shots! Spain's bums! Jheri Curls!!

Canuck 7
Hey, I'm flexible, I'll talk about any of the above at any time of the day (especially foreskins.)

@ 5, yeah, pretty much. It's not like theater where you talk about everything afterward over drinks. Basically something really remarkable has to happen, like yesterday's handball save.

Of course, some people (a few) DO want to keep talking about it afterward, so bless you for providing a space for them.

Are you calling Team Foreskinjury *loosahs*, Matt???
Posted by Canuck on July 3, 2010 at 2:05 PM
Matt from Denver 10
I would NEVER do that, Canuck. Please pardon any implication I might have made to that effect. I have only the utmost respect for Team Foreskinjury.

Excellent to hear, Matt, seeing as how I just ordered the team jerseys. (SO hard to find just the right colour...)

@11, and wrinkly neckline.

Not wrinkly, er, puckered. That's better, puckered. I'd like to suggest a photo change for this thread please, Dan:

Something like, oh, I dunno, Sergio Ramos?

Precisely, Gus. Do you have any idea how much extra the seamstress is charging for that? (Plus, we have to wear them pulled up over our heads until the game gets really exciting...)

@13: OMG, that guy is beautiful.
Posted by Irena on July 3, 2010 at 2:32 PM

@13 Yes!!! The idea of children attending one of Team Foreskinjuries' matches is, uh, inappropriate.

Boys can have foreskinjuries too!

Canuck, some sort of elastic band or drawstring - well done, of course. Irena, Canadian Nurse had some great photos of Ramos, too - I prefer him by far to Mr. Frizzelle's Dutch fantasy, sexy as a recycle bin by comparison.
Posted by gloomy gus on July 3, 2010 at 2:39 PM
Canuck 19
The names say it all, Gus...Ramos or *Wesley*? Ramos looks both naughty and sweet, while Wesley is undoubtedly a mouth-breather.

Re: The team jerseys: yes, perhaps a loose turtleneck, like those 70s "cowl necks," with an elastic band on top. How to do the veins, though? Hmmmmm.

@17 Sorry, but this Team is NSFC, as Dan discovered to his peril when he brought his son to the last Liveslog... They will have to form their own team, the "Foreskinjuritos."
Posted by Canuck on July 3, 2010 at 3:04 PM
gloomy gus 21
The ironclad Spanish pronunciation rules mean you could run around saying your team was the "foraskeenhoodeetos" and everyone would think it a silly made-up word until you wrote it out on the uniforms. Hey wait a minute, there's an idea for your team jerseys, Canuck.

@21
I'll be funding the Team by promoting this nifty foundation I just started:
http://www.can-fap.net/merch.shtml

I'm thinking something like this, but a bit more subdued in colour, with that neckline done up in elastic. We will probably be getting a volume discount.
http://www.etsy.com/listing/40452796/sal…

"foraskeenhoodeetos" ? Sounds a little Dutch...as long as we don't have any players who are mouth-breathers...

Canuck, it will be fun to perfect the range of colors so that everyone can wear their favorite(s). I think "Can-Fap" is the most inspirational name since "Hands Across Canada".

I wish the U.S. would understand. . . sigh. I witnessed Germany demolish the Argentinians in a sports bar in downtown cologne and madness ensued after the final whistle. Streets shut down, drunken happy Germans everywhere, cars draped with black red and yellow honking their horns. I'd probably get a ticket for hanging out of a car window flying an american flag back in the states. . . poo

@26. I'd guess Americans in NY would get it. Toronto's been a nonstop rotating party for weeks, depending on who has won and lost.

Canuck & Gus, you two are amazing! I missed out by going out today. :-)
Posted by Canadian Nurse on July 3, 2010 at 7:12 PM
Canuck 29
@25 Gus, really, who knew foreskins had an awareness project? I'm thinking of volunteering at the local Can-Fap myself, although I must admit I find foreskins a little funny, whenever I see a picture of one, I think of a golf ball poking out of a sock.

@28 Nurse, what were you thinking? Slog requires TOTAL devotion!! Actually, I went out, too, to our local Bavarian restaurant, where I mistakenly thought Le Soccer would be on the telly, no such luck, the Germans were simply rolling around the kitchen in glee. I had vegetarian lasagne with goat cheese, while Mr. Canuck had the Elk medallions in a perky mushroom sauce. And now, back to the real world, with you and Gus......slog bliss!

Holy oily Brasileno, Canuck - Cristiano announces a baby and that he has "exclusive guardianship"? That is some 100% Ricky Martin "I'll come out of the closet in two years max" shit, no?
Posted by gloomy gus on July 3, 2010 at 9:19 PM
Canuck 32
Could not agree with you more, Gus. Ronaldo "coming out" pool on Slog now, please....
Posted by Canuck on July 3, 2010 at 9:31 PM
Canadian Nurse 33
Can anyone say "surrogate"? Ronaldo's going to come out in 2012, which will still mean he's out before Anderson Cooper.
Posted by Canadian Nurse on July 4, 2010 at 7:38 AM
Canuck 34
CN, here's a slightly more erudite news source than Dlisted (although only slightly, and Michael K had the drop by more than 12 hours, hmmm):
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/art…

If hunky Gareth Thomas can come out, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyun…
Ronaldo should give it a shot....perhaps on Anderson's show...who knows, maybe Coop willl be inspired?

Canadian Nurse 35
That Gareth Thomas story was heartbreakingly wonderful, Canuck. And he's totally hunkilicious. I need to start watching rugby, I think. Unfortunately, all I know about rugby I learned from Invictus. So that would be 1) pass the ball behind you; 2) break down the boundaries between the races; 3) shaky cam shaky cam shaky cam.

Is that enough to become a rugby fan?
Posted by Canadian Nurse on July 4, 2010 at 9:16 AM
Canuck 36
I'm a rugby fan, Canadian Nurse, and all I know about it is that its players are built like our hockey players, but wear a lot less clothing (really, what more is there?) I first watched rugby when we were in Australia in May, and I learned that the hunkiest players were "NRL" (National Rugby League), and they also had nice, tight uniforms. (*and I think Gareth Thomas has probably the best body I have ever seen*)

You know what 2 girls (you and I) and Gus have in common? We all lust after the same players! Team Foreskinjury!

PS Also learned from Abby via Liveslog that "Dieux du Stade" is a really educational rugby calendar:

Canadian Nurse 37
It's hard not to lust after the same guys as me, Canuck, since I'm into both muscled jocks and femme cuties. And a lot of guys in between.

One more thing I learned from invictus: the team Nelson Mandela wants to win always does.
Posted by Canadian Nurse on July 4, 2010 at 10:25 AM
Canuck 38
So, Canadian Nurse, the Million Dollar Question is: Does Nelson Mandela want Team Foreskinjury to win?

Guy-wise, yes, I agree with you, although I draw the line at mouth-breathers (AKA Team Frizzelle's chosen ones) Your and Gus's Ramos is definitely top of the pile, he looks like Keanu Reeves' hotter brother.

Dear Canadians (Nurses and Nucks):

Sergio Ramos: nose job or no? This page (yes, I searched for nudies) contains not only snaps of a fashion spread entitled "Leather Boy" but also a couple naked ones from when he was all of 19 (for a tsunami relief calendar, so self-touching is okay, i.e., You Can Fap).

Plus: somebody tell Dan about Timo Kunert, stamped from his favorite mold:

WC Open Thread and NOTHING about the Germans or the Dutch?
Posted by Judith on July 4, 2010 at 1:05 PM
Canuck 41
Okay, Gus, you win the prize for best descriptions: "Nurses and Nucks"...hah! Hmmm, nose job, it does look a little crinkled in the middle in that first shot, and in the blue-pen picture at the bottom of the page is quite straight...I'd think he may have just had it straightened after breaking it, but without altering the shape/size otherwise (this is my professional opinion after reading years of InTouch Magazine.) That picture of him in the leather jacket (close up) DAYum, very nice! A little hair works well for him, he's a wee bit *glossy* in those other pictures. He truly is lovely, though, sigh.

Good call on a new BF prospect for Dan, the cookie-cutter factory is just churning these guys out!

Is "You Can Fap" the new sex-positive term for masturbating? I was unclear....
Posted by Canuck on July 4, 2010 at 5:44 PM
Canuck 42
@40 Judith.........sorry, Germans? Dutch? Are we talking about beer? Because I actually prefer English lager...Oh, you thought we'd be talking about soccer? No, this is actually the "Talk about hot soccer PLAYERS and their bums" thread. Sorry.
Posted by Canuck on July 4, 2010 at 5:47 PM
Canadian Nurse 43
Back from too many hours of pride celebrations. Can't remember what I'm proud of anymore. Something to do with dancing and topless men wearing angel wings, I think.

@40: We talked about actual soccer on the "Got Plans for Tomorrow Night?" thread. This thread is about sexy soccer players, foreskins and sexy rugby players. How is this not obvious to everyone?

Gus: Definite nose job.

Canuck: fapping = masturbatin' & Ramos is so much hotter than Keanu Reeves that Nelson Mandela's thinking of withdrawing his blessing from Team Foreskinjury.

Heat stroke + alcohol = delusional thoughts. Must drink water and get sleep.
Posted by Canadian Nurse on July 4, 2010 at 8:44 PM
Canuck 44
I know, Nurse, I know! That's why I said his *hotter* brother, but really, would you kick this cutie pie out of bed?:
http://woikr.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2…

No pride celebrations in Calgary until September, am hoping to have my volunteering with Planned Parenthood up and running by then so I can hand out condoms to cute guys! (and no, I didn't put that on the "why do you want to volunteer?" section...)

Dream of Ramos, but first drink two really big glasses of water, or you will be sad tomorrow. :(

Oh 'Nuck… I'd forgotten what he looked like with long hair.

I drank my two glasses of water last night bur I'm still pretty sorry today. I've spent my whole lunch break searching all the variety stores downtown for Gatorade. It's sold out everywhere. I finally had to go to a health food store and buy little electrolyte packages and mix with my own water. Really, if I had the energy to do that why would I even be buying Gatorade?

Pride apparently does come before the fall.

Love my new avatar. Will change it when I'm at a computer (this is just from my phone).

Nurse, hangovers only get worse as you get older, as does any dancing done at a karaoke bar (not that I'd know from personal experience or anything).....Youth, and hangover survival, truly are wasted on the young. (Although I noticed Dan just made his first post of the day, so you're doing better than he is...)
