la selección in El Mundo Magazine, part II

Ok I lied, I love this article so much I’ve forged ahead to bring you the rest.

The continuation of this post, with David Silva and Joan Capdevila.  I never noticed that David has freckles!  And I love his eyes.  I’ve always had a weak spot for him, and if he comes to Madrid, I’ll be so happy!  Does Capdevila have highlights?  And in the picture, he loves gel as much as Cristiano Ronaldo!

I love, love, LOVE Capdevila’s answer to number 7!

Interviews after the jump!

19.  You have to dance, which type would you choose? Flamenco, without a doubt.  I’m very Spanish…

20.  Have you won the final on Playstation? Hahaha, I haven’t done that, and it’s better that I don’t, because I’m bad at la Play.
