Welcome to Offbeat Wednesday, where we cover the wacky side of football! Today, read about the German National Team’s bizarre new campaign, Mourinho’s Carpark ‘Me Time’, Harry Kewell’s Tennis Day Out and Guti’s Holiday!
Now now, don’t get all excited! You’re not looking at the latest 80′s German pop band founded by Lothar Matthäus, but it’s close to the truth. The Mannschaft assembled earlier this week at a quaint little studio in Germany to shoot their latest video campaign for the Euro 2012. Sadly, Lahm and co’ looked more like extras on an A-ha music video, but we are expecting the results to be quite brilliant although it couldn’t have hurt to include an astronaut suit!
Typically, Mario Gomez couldn’t resist the urge to check himself out while they waited for their turns on set. Mesut Ozil, was of course, his enthusiastic self throughout. And how about a little more blush for Thomas Mueller?
Yes Galatasaray fans, Harry Kewell is alive and well in Australia, in case the lot of you were wondering! The Melbourne Victory striker was spotted at the Australian Open with his wife, Sheree Murphy on Sunday.
Since he made the move back to Melbourne, the former Liverpool striker has been keeping a low-profile. The Kewells recently welcomed a baby daughter Dolly to the family. Parabens!
Here’s Jose Mourinho enjoying a private moment at the basement car park of the Nou Camp last week. Following Real Madrid’s elimination from the Copa del Rey, Mourinho appeared surprisingly calm and even pleased as he waited for referee Teixeira Vitienes’ verdict. Doing some pondering?
Perhaps that’s the problem – everyone is so intimidated by Mourinho that they half-expect him to start smashing car windshields and barking at them. Ele é como seu tio… mas mais competitivo (he’s like your uncle, except more competitive!)
Last (and probably the least important- jaja!), here’s Mr. ‘Has Been footballer’, Guti, holidaying in Milan with his namorada. See, this is what you do if no club wants to sign you during the transfer window… you go on a holiday and hang out at the Duomo di Milano!
Also ever since retiring from football, Guti has assumed a strange hobo-meets-arty type persona, which is essentially the anti-football look. Congrats, tipo!
