ARMS VS ARROGANCE: WHICH WINS?

Federer once said: “The more success you have, the easier it is to deal with defeat.” I hope he lives by that motto, because today Federer had to deal with defeat. Da-feet of Athlebrities favorite Rafael Nadal.

Nadal successfully defended his men’s title, beating the worlds most arrogant player Roger Federer 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 after three steamy hours on clay. Nadal shutdown Federer’s fourth consecutive chance for a Grand Slam and sent him home with a silver tray ideal for a serving of humble-your-arrogant-self-soup. After the victory, Nadal rolled around the clay court, covering himself in the red dust. “This is my best final against the best player in history.” This is Rafael’s second successive Roland Garros title and extends his record clay-court winning streak to 60 matches. “I tried,” Federer said. “I can’t do more than try, having this real unique opportunity that we haven’t seen in such a long time in tennis. Obviously it’s a pity, but it goes on, right…that second set was a big turning point,” Federer said. “If just there I can keep up with him and then put him really under big pressure, then obviously it’s very different.” Unfortunately for Federer, it’s not very different. Federer is 0-4 against Nadal this year and 44-0 against everyone else. Sexy Nadal has now become the youngest hottie to win consecutive championships at Roland Garros since Bjorn Borg did it in 1974-75. The payday for being so hot? Nadal won $1.2 million and Federer walked with $600,000.

Sitting courtside at this delicious feast, were Jennifer Aniston and sexy-hot Vince Vaughan, who both looked bored to death.

WORLD CUP

Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik, from India, works on his sculpture titled World Peace that features the soccer World Cup trophy in Berlin. Pattnaik and 35 other artists from all over the world are participating in Berlin’s International Sand Sculpture Festival that opened today.

Athlebritolgy God David Beckham (R) and English goalkeeper Paul Robinson give us a drool worthy moment before the start against Paraguay yesterday. England won the match 1-0, while Wayne Rooney watched from the bench.

David Beckham wasn’t disturbed by the fact that Victoria (L), his “wife”, showed up at the game with her new boyfriend (R).

I didn’t know there were any hot athletes in Tunsia. Proving me very wrong is Tunisian forward Chawki Ben Saada. Saada has replaced striker Issam Jomaa on the players list. Tunisia will play their first match June 14th.

German midfielder Torsten Frings (L) rests today in the garden of the team’s hotel in Berlin. Other German national hotties (R) Lukas Podolski, right, and Bastian Schweinsteiger also tease me while relaxing in the garden of the Schlosshotel Grunewald in Berlin. There is plenty of room for me to squeeze in right between the two.

Argentina has some smoking hot players, and my libido was out of control yesterday as Argentina played the Ivory Coast. Argentinean Hernan Crespo (L) and Ivorian forward Didier Drogba (R) on the field at the same time? Priceless. Argentina won 2 to 1.

Someone please tell me who the hell this hottie is sitting next to Maradona? His son? I love him.

And no I haven’t forgotten about the US hotties. In fact, the sexy beasts warmed-up today during a team training session at Gelsenkirchen Stadium. Take the day off tomorrow if you have to. The USA vs. Czech-Republic starts at 8:00 AM PST. Although the odds of the US winning the World Cup are 80-0, I still think our boys will pull a few hats tricks out of thier arse’s and surprise the skeptics. After all, the team includes 12 hotties who have previous World Cup experience.

Who says athletes eat healthy? I’m suddenly craving McDonald’s after seeing Costa Rican hotties Walter Centeno (C), midfielder Cristian Bolanos (L) and defender Jervis Drummond (R) chow down on some food during their visit to a commercial center in Viernheim, Germany.

SCARY FANS
Everything has a balance- you know, Ying and Yang. Well, unfortunately in sports there is also a balance. On one hand we have some of the most beautiful athletes on earth, and on the other hand, we find the dark side, called “Scary Fans”.

ATHLEBRITY NOMINEES FOR SCARIEST FANS ARE…

The Dutch.

Mexico’s fans enjoy scaring the shit out of us prior to the kickoff between Mexico and Iran. Mexico spanked Iran 3-1 this morning.

The Portuguese (L) and Serbia and Montenegro (R).

Argentinean supporters. Scary, scarier, and scariest.

So how does one become a scary fan? Well, you gotta start them young. The younger the better. In this photo, a Swedish fan gets a head start with her little raptor. Her baby is officially on the road to becoming a scary fan.

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP THE FEAR?

Riot police are cracking down on scary fans. There has been an alarming increase in the number of reported ‘nightmares’ among visitors in Germany. The riot police were called in to calm the nerves of those fans who thought they had accidentally ingested LSD.

And that’s it for today. As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
