I've been following it and covering it from a very visible, badly-translated standpoint, and I'm so glad it's over. I swear that Mesut has given me acid reflux, migraines and insomnia. He owes me money for the spa day I now need on Friday after having to pay attention to his whiny self for the past month.
Sadly, he did nothing for me as a Werderaner, and I only started liking him in the schwarz-rot-gelb. I'm not sure whether it was his seeming lack of midfield freedom in the green and white, or the fact that he reminded me of a giant grasshopper. I only became a fan of his after he dived in minute 12 in the game against Australia, and then started running, EVERYWHERE.
Now, I think it's time to live by the rule WWZD? What would Zidane do? Zinedine is my all-time favorite football player, and since he played for Juventus, I started cheering for them again last year after I realized I didn't like ANYONE on Milan. I also used to cheer for Real Madrid with Zidane, but left them after I decided I couldn't cheer for a team with Cristiano Ronaldo on its roster. I find NOTHING redeeming about him. Unfortunately, I will probably cheer for Real again now.
I'm obviously still a Werder fan, and now I have to figure out how to do my laundry during the CL qualifier tomorrow. I'm not sure if I have enough clean clothing to wear with my Werder shirt!
