WAGsnatch roundup - Beckham, Ronaldo and Euro 2008

Written by Ahmed Bilal. Tagged: Features - WagSnatch

Tevez is supposedly heading to Old Trafford next week for a medical (while West Ham run from the Premier League and Kia runs from Brazilian law enforcement agencies), Liverpool have Babel, Chelsea are after Dani Alves, Arsenal are…well, playing with Wenger, Real Madrid are apparently after Riquelme (what, missing Ronaldo and Beckham already?) and Newcastle fans are thoroughly disappointed that Heinze and Deco don’t consider them a big club. Oh, and Spurs are snapping up young kids everywhere.

Now that we’ve got the transfer humdrum out of the way, let’s look at the really interesting stuff. You know, Beckham’s new LA Galaxy strip, Becks and Posh stripping for W, Ronaldo making out with Bipasha Basu and my devilish plans for Euro 2008.


The Beckhams, Big Mac style

If you thought Beckham-mania was overblown, you obviously have no experience with the Americanization of any phenomenon. Think Britney Spears. Paris Hilton. Lindsay Lohan.

Makes me cringe for Becks - after they’re through with him, Posh will be a cross between Spears and the Olsen twins, and Becks will be lucky to escape, at all.

The Becks and Posh money-spinning campaign is in overdrive even before they land in the States, with the couple baring all for US mag W and Posh talking about sex scandals, walking around naked and, well, that’s about it.

Pics? You’ve got to love the sleazy Sun style, but I think you’ll agree that these from PH are a bit classier (if a bit biased towards Becks).

Wait, here’s something that I can show you - Beckham sporting the new 07/08 LA Galaxy kit.

Ronaldo nails Bipasha with the ‘you’re cute’ line

Yes, we’ve all seen the pics. What struck me as funny in this story were the lines Ronnie used to nail Bipasha:

“Meeting him was a dream come true. After the event, we went out clubbing, and that was simply fantastic.

He is so cute and it was strange when he called me cute … He is a friend now and he has promised me that I will be invited for all his matches.

I was surprised when he told me that his mum watches old Hindi film movies.”

Full marks to #7 for lying his way through the night and picking up JA’s chick. Of course nothing happened between them. Of course…

Euro 2008

Guys, I’m trying to make it to Switzerland / Austria for Euro 2008 - any advice / help on getting a press connection or sponsors would be welcomed :)

  1. Wow nice pics! What the eff were you doing digging up perezhilton? ;)
    *nudge* and *snicker*

  2. Someone dropped those links in my inbox, believe it or not. I had to follow up…
  3. how the hell did I miss this one?
  4. NOTW, talking about Lampard in Vegas:

    The Chelsea midfield star picked up the woman, a glamorous East European in her late thirties, at a blackjack table in the casino of the plush five-star Wynn hotel.

    After the couple spent more than two hours alone in a suite together, grinning Lampard emerged with his arm around her about 2am.

    As they strolled back to the gaming tables Lampard looked about, then tenderly stroked the girl’s shoulder before kissing her goodnight on the cheek and heading off to find his pals.

    But just minutes later the beauty’s smiles turned to sobs when the News of the World told her the truth about her dashing 29-year-old date.

    With tears streaming down her face, she said: “I had no idea he was a rich footballer and he didn’t tell me he had a girlfriend and two daughters.

    “This is terrible. I don’t know what to do. This is a nightmare.”

    How honorable of NOTW - and what a shame they didn’t capture that ’scoop’ on video.

  5. Ha! i always knew that winker was a playa. you are cute! must have been the 15th girl he told that to in the last week. And if she believed she was going to get invited to all his games…

  6. In reference to the Becks-mania currently gripping Los Angeles, I believe George Carlin has summed this phenomenon up quite nicely:

    “Where ideas are concerned, America can be counted on to do one of two things: take a good idea and run it completely into the ground, or take a bad idea and run it completely into the ground.”

  8. Ahmed, I had some links about ‘press pases’ at Euro 2008. You you might find interesting, but I think it will be very hard for you to get a Media Accreditation.

  9. Ahmed, I had some links from UEFA which give details as to how you can get a ‘Media Accreditation’. I hope they can help:

    PS: i have some others but i dnt know exactly what you need so i wont post them. sorry, no idea about the sponsors.

  10. SHE IS FIT AS FUCK!!!!

  11. man utd fan - i look around mate, use google and you’ll find almost anything.

    andrei - I know the uefa bit, a bit hard to get. I was actually hoping that anyone reading this was already affiliated with a media company and that THEY could do the dirty work for me.

    I’ll still go, but without the passes I’ll be left out with the fans - which isn’t a bad idea btw.

  12. Andrei - post everything that you have. Or email me, rather.
