It's that time of year where everyone is getting ready for stocking surprises, some eggnog and delightful choco chip cookies, and, for the luckier people living in colder weather, a bit of snow fall.
It's almost Christmas!
And what could be more fun than making a list of things you'd want to find under your tree?
A list of 4 football players from each position you'd want to find under your tree, that's what!
Here are the footballers I'd like to find wrapped up neatly in bows when I wake up, and why.
*GOALKEEPER --------
Now, this position is one of the hardest positions to be filled. I could go the Spanish route, staying true to my Spain NT fangirl self and choose from their "finest of the finest" goalie line-up. I could also go English instead, opting for the goalie i like and insist is wearing the wrong shade of kit. Or maybe I should be unpredictable and be nostalgic of the days where I cared about Serie A and decide on one of my longtime favorite goalies ever...
PUT A BOW ON IT : Pepe Reina
WHY : I'd imagine after I've taken the red bow off his bald head he'd offer to cook me some Xmas churros so we can sit around the fireplace and talk about how awesome Liverpool is, and joke about Iker and his relationship with Facebook and Google Translate.
*DEFENDER --------
So many defenders, so little time. I have so many favorites, how can I possibly decide who I want Santa to bring me? There's my beast of a Scouser, my Giant Wall of Derp, that Brazilian beast, or le delicate Danish flower... kind of intrigued to ask for this guy too, just so I can see if I can make him cry at the Xmas party. Oh my god but there's also Kelldawgs, and etc etc etc etc (I could really go on and on in this category).
PUT A BOW ON IT : Jose Enrique
 |
| I don't know what's going on here but I like it |
WHY : Rumor has it he likes to show off his biceps. I'd like to watch him show off in my living room whilst eating smores. After he's done we could make prank calls to Grandpa Del Bosque as revenge for not calling up Enrique for National duty. (Seriously, shame on you, VDB)
*MIDFIELDER --------
I'm so predictable some people I know reading this blog who are aware of my undying love for Xavi will probably think I'm going to ask for him. But I think there's already too much Spanish up in this party and, well, I don't want to get charged by the FA so I might as well make this event racially diverse. Besides, me and Xavi are already soulmates anyway so I guess asking Mr. Claus for him would be kind of moot. So now I have to pick a non-Spanish midfielder? Why is that so ironic.
PUT A BOW ON IT : Jack Wilshere
WHY : It's 2 for the price of 1! He'd have to bring cute little Archie with him, right? After Archie's had fun opening his own prezzies and fallen asleep, we could get drunk and I could finally check off "touch Jack Wilshere's dimples" off my bucketlist. I know he'll bring the Xmas spirit.
(note : I want to ask for Captain Fantastic but that would mean I'd also have to ask for the Ginger Prince. But if I asked for both of them they'd just pay attention to each other and make their own little world without me, which I can simply not abide to on Christmas.)
*FORWARD --------
Are Spanish and Argentinian too close to each other? Well, screw diversity, man. It's either this or another Spainiard. You have found my weakness.
PUT A BOW ON IT : Sergio Aguero
WHY : Other than the fact that I've been pining over how flawless his kicks are (also, his face), he seems like a nice guy. I really like his hair. Maybe he'll let me touch it and style it whilst he spills his deep feelings about how hard it is to be a player in a generally-hated club over a cup of hot cinnamon cocoa. I'd also like to discuss some other fashion choices for him on the pitch. Baby Benji could keep Baby Archie company, too.
I hope Santa and his reindeer don't deliver my order to the wrong house because not getting these presents would be the worst Xmas ever.
