Abusing Reuters again: football pictures! (Warning: big pictures!)

England captain David Beckham (2nd-R) celebrates with team mates Nicky Butt (L) Emile Heskey (3rd-L), Ashley Cole (4th-L) and Paul Scoles (R) after Michael Owen (2nd-L) scored his first goal against Slovakia during their Euro 2004 Group Seven qualifying match in Bratislava October 12 2002.

He is sofuckingbeautiful:

This has got to win some sort of price for best picture headline ever:

Funniest picture of the bunch:

Aaand that's it. All out of pictures for now.

Re:

I have no idea. I think it should be a summer thing, no? I mean, the World Cup was.

Of course you didn't. And neither did I.

(Pst. Chris/Michael?)

Chris/...Michael? Dude. (And not the bad kind of dude, either. Possibly. Probably. Maybe. Eep!)

Also, you did know that Justin is a Manchester United fan, right? (As said in a sleazy tabloid here (http://www.livejournal.com/talkpost.bml?journal=summer_cycle&itemid=107511&nc=11).) Just sayin' and all.

Date: 2002-10-16 01:23 am (UTC)

They're both short and kinda elvish and cute and stuff! And Chris would make some wise-arse cracks and Michael would not be able to help laughing and eee! They'd be cute.
