When Beautiful People Swap Shirts
By: Laurie | April 7th, 2008
Ever wonder what leads up to a photo like this one? How it came to be that the most beautiful players on the teams end up swapping shirts with each other?
Of course you have. Admit it.
Once again, we at The Offside have the answers. Here’s how it went down after the first leg of the Roma-Manchester United Champions League quarterfinal:
Ronaldo: I have played a magnificent game. My header? Amazing. Truly. I continue to shock myself with my skill. And now all that remains is the most important decision of the match: Who is worthy of my shirt?
Mexès: And now eet eez time for zee shirt swap. I must move with caution. Not everyone is beautiful enough to wear zee Shirt of Mexès.
Ronaldo: He must be beautiful. But, of course, not more beautiful than me. Were that possible.
Mexès: He must be lovely, with great hair. But not as good as mine.
Ronaldo: He must be fit, and strong. A worthy adversary. Who is also very pretty.
Mexès: He must be… Uh-oh. It is Ferdinand. Must not make eye contact.
Ronaldo: Ah! Yes! Now I see! It is Philippe! He is the one!
Mexès: Whew! He is gone. A close call. And now…. I have got it! Of course! It was the only answer! Cristiano!
Ronaldo: Philippe!
Mexès: Cristiano!
Ronaldo: You are worthy to share the DNA that I have sweated out against your team!
Mexès: As are you! Such beautiful sweat!
Ronaldo: If only they could combine DNA from sweat in these jerseys and clone it to create a single being!
Mexès: Ah! That would be…magnifique! So much skill!
Ronaldo: So much pretty!
Both: But of course not prettier than me.
Mexès: Thank you, Cristiano, for this lovely, sweaty shirt. But… [Takes shirt. Inhales deeply.] Wait. No.
Ronaldo: What?
Mexès: No, it cannot be. Cristiano, eet eez not possible! Eet cannot be!
Cristiano: What, Philippe? What about my wonderful shirt could possibly be upsetting you?
Mexès: Oh, Cristiano… Tell me it is not… Cristiano, please tell me I do not smell “Intimately Beckham.”
Ronaldo: Erm…but… It was gift! He makes me wear it! He… Wait! Philippe! Where are you going? You can’t take your shirt back! We already swapped! Come back! Philippe!!!
And that’s the way it really happened. We swear.
