Bem-vindo to the Friday CQC Club! Today, we have another zany clip of Fabregas kissing a Spanish male reporter (classic) and a recent one of Felipe Andreoli at the Deco/Messiah event which was all the rage in Brazil last week. Fabregas pulled a IkerBonero, planted un beso on him and the CQC reporter instantly fell in love!

It’s been a bizarre week. Yesterday, an Australian dude admitted to us that he was “physically attracted“ to the Spanish team. Ooo, ésa es la verdad!

• Senor Pep, who looks exhausted from having to bring his daughters to the horrid premiere of New Moon over the weekend wants you to know that even without the Messiah, Ibracadabra and Iniesta, Barca can defeat Inter tonight. Many will call it wishful thinking… but come on! “They are two very important players, but I do not buy the idea that we will be less without Ibra and Messi,” he said. “We’ll compete to win eleven-to-eleven against Inter.”

  Come to think of it, Geri Pique will be a perfect addition to cast of Twilight (Pique as Jacob Black, is that you?). He’s got the smouldering vampire look that will put the likes of Robert-I-don’t-shampoo-my-hair-Pattyson to shame!

• Everyone from sullen-faced cab drivers to the lazy policemen in our neighbourhood can’t stop talking about Titipo Henry’s handball. And now, Lord of the Rings star, referee Pierluigi Collina has given his two cents on the issue. Sadly, he’s trying to be on the fence about this one. “Henry’s case is striking because it has contributed to the fact that one nation has gone to the World Cup. It is not difficult to understand what happened. The point of contact takes a few hundredths of a second and you may not have seen it (on the cameras).” Ei zio, cosa stai dicendo?!! Who is he trying to kid?
  

• Finally, a sighting of Arsenal’s Mr. Guapo aka Carlos Vela! He’s been out injured for a while now, so it’s nice to see him with Cescy at training again. They’ll take on R. Standard de Liège later tonight and el capitano is pretty happy with the way things are. “I have learnt a lot since I was named captain,” he said. “At the beginning it was a bit difficult, but I feel more capable than a year ago. I know my responsibility, my job and I feel everyone is helping and supporting me. I’m looking forward to a great season with Arsenal.” Way to go!
• And in case you were wondering what happened to Ronaldo Lima, here he is trying to run away from Brazilian paparazzi a few days ago after a nice lunch with local singer, Wanessa. Well, he thought he could outdo them all by running out the front door where a Jesus Luz clone was waiting…. but he was mistaken! Eles são mais espertos do que você, cara!

Stroking a cat… looking intently into multiple screens… we see more of a resemblance to Austin Powers than James Bond! Nevertheless, you know no one can pull this ad better than the furrrrrosh Fabregas. So go on, have a look…

According to the Daily Star, Cescy could be heading to Barca for €40m…. but the Prince of doughnuts wants you to know that he’s fully committed to the Gunners. How could you accuse him of wanting to join the Spanish Treble Winners next season? That’s not right. He will not be a replacement for the man they didn’t get … Ribery!

In other news, Spain have been knocked off the top spot in FIFA’s world ranking… by none other than Brasil. Who decides those rankings and please explain why England lie in 7th place, one spot above Argentina? Oh yeah, we forgot that winning against the likes of Kazakhstan and Macedonia = The World Cup Trophy itself! Glorious.

When we heard New Zealand were playing in the Confederations Cup… and meeting the selección in their opening game, all sorts of ideas and stereotypes started forming in our heads. Sadly, we half-expected Tana Umaga to make an appearance during the match and follow this up with a pre-match haka! The New Zealanders would be in all black! There would be a kiwi on the field! It would be like a party.

Except none of that happened and Spain thrashed the living daylights out the kiwis with a hat-trick from Stable Boy Torres and goals from Fabregas and Villa. The folks on twitter were complaining about the pathetic match turn-out and we echo their sentiments. This is Spain after all!

“The truth is that it was a great boost for the team to come out and start like that,” Torres said after the game.

“I don’t think you or they are surprised by what happened on the field,” New Zealand coach Riki Herbert said. “It was always going to be tough for us, but we still have two big matches left.”

Just for the record, ya’ll know Ramos the Raver would win that Tana Umaga stare hands down.

O hello thur! The new Arsenal kit looks pretty neat, if you compare it to Chelski’s sky-diving ensemble. Cescy is not looking at the camera but Arshavin knows that his fashionista wife will not forgive him if he made the same mistake. So be proud, Sasha Pivovarova!

The folks over at Models.com are keeping close tabs….

No, that’s not a screencap from an upcoming episode of Football Drag Queens. It’s actually Arsenal’s Adebayor, Clichy and Djourou underneath the snark disguise of a few wigs. I think Clichy has the potential to look like Vogue’s Anna Wintour if she dyes her bob pink.

Anyway, the Gunners came together to help the children of cancer in a campaign video. In the video ‘re-enacting’ the launch of the campaign, the players are doing everything asked by the children who come to visit. Fabregas signs dozens of shirts, while another teenager receives kisses from girls. Eduardo da Silva ends up doing a boy’s mathematics assignments for him and Kolo Toure applies nail polish for a female fan as she watches on (ha-ha!!).

Cescy Fabregas said: “This commercial is funny and we hope the fans like it, but there is a real message about helping young people and hopefully, (we can) raise a lot of money.”

Next Sunday’s game against Liverpool marks the start of the campaign “Teenage Cancer Trust”. Every player and leaders of the London club will donate a day of their salary to the organization to help the children in need.

Cescy Fabregas will return to Espana one day ‘eventually’ when his contract with Arsenal ends. Apparently, he made a few people in England piss in their pants (and pissed off) when he declared that he was leaving Arsenal to play in Spain. Again, we suspect this to be the work of Madrid tabloid, Marca or “AS”, who can really Photoshop a mean story.

Futbolita Gooners, donut freak out yet, however. Cescy will be staying with his amigos in London until 2014, to honour his contract (obviously).

“Everybody knows that one day, I will return to Spanish football. It is an experience I want to relive. I want to play in Spain as a professional before I retire. That was always the idea,” he told The Sun.

El Capitano is also very happy to be where he is now. “Nobody in football has a guaranteed place anywhere. Today everything is so volatile, so complicated that you never know. But the truth is that I am very happy, very motivated and to be captain is an extra incentive.”

Of course, naturally, Barcelona would want their former player back at the club. But you know Real will want a say in this as well with their bundle of cash and hypnosis techniques.

WE’RE IN THE FINALS!

WHAT A MATCH. Fabulous Fabregas came in and totally changed the pace of the game when Aragones fielded him. Spain’s strength throughout the tournament has been their slick passing (omg have you seen that). And they’ve continued this run. It’s like magic. Ramos was constantly running up and down the flanks, pulling a Real-Madrid-Brasil Roberto Carlos in his prime years. David Silva and Marcos Senna were at right place at the right time. Casillas did some of the most incredulous saves I have ever seen in my frickin’ history of watching him play. You know all that matters is that Spain deserve to be where they are right now. They were always good on paper, but luck has never been on our side.

We meet Germany in the finals, and we’re going to need a whole lot more than just luck. They will always be the best team in Europe, with the best football. You’d better believe the Spanish play the best in that continent.

Yes, I did it. I ditched the second half of Germany-Turkey to finish up some work. That’s some boring shit right there… where’s the excitement we got from the quarter-finals? Or maybe it’s just an unfair hatred towards the Germans. They are really cunts.

Thanks to procrastination, I am not at the stage I’d like to be right now. Also, RecycloFashion got invited to give a talk next Friday at a cool event called Pecha Kucha and there’s free beer (not that I care), so we’re preparing the slides now. Except that the format’s straying away from your conventional 6p and we’re going to make it image intensive. Do come and say ola! Also, there’s an eco-launch this Friday we’re supposed to attend and the dress code is ‘Design Chic’. Interesting… so you can come with a vintage stool over your head and everyone’s going to smile at you and say that it looks completely natural.

Work on the fashion show has started officially, after a month and a half of throwing ideas around. The school wants us to do one as well except the people handling the event we’re featuring in are complete idiots with their utter unprofessionalism etc.

I don’t want Spain to get killed off by Russia. Arshavin, you look like you can be Russia’s Next Top High Fashion Model. Please go and live that dream. All that guy needs is a shitload of face powder and he can be the face of Dior Homme. VIVA LA ESPANA. And Ramos better defend to his death tomorrow.

Helloooooooooo there.
