Iker Casillas Running Out of Euro 2008 Keeper Jerseys

June 14th, 2008 | By: Daryl | 3 Comments »

Word on the street (or actually, in Marca) is that Iker Casillas could be having wardrobe problems when Spain progress out of Group D (which is pretty inevitable now, right?)

Apparently the Spanish keeper only brought three goalkeeper jerseys with him to Swissaustria, one for each group game, and was planning to have further shirts transported from the homeland.

But seems the current Spanish transport strike and blockades could prevent him getting any further long sleeve shirts with padded elbows.


There seems to be some bizarre suggestion that this will affect team selection, but I’m pretty sure Iker Casillas will cope. And very sure that Aragones wouldn’t go without Casillas for something this trivial.

When I was at school and we forgot our P.E. kit, the punishment was a choice between doing it in your underwear (not advisable if you valued your reputation) or wearing one of the unwashed garments from the manky box of spare kit (not advisable if you value staying disease-less.)

I don’t imagine they’ll put Iker through an ordeal like that. The obvious solution - as suggested by The Spoiler - seems to be to put some of his old jerseys in the wash. And maybe do a bit of impromptu embroidery. Can’t be that hard to stitch the word “quarterfinal” can it?

In related news: the transport strike in Portugal is over, easing fears that Cristiano Ronaldo would run out of stepovers before the quarterfinals.

Hey, watch your language Exile! From all appearances this seems to a an all-sexual-orientations welcome site. (It’s more likely that the motto is the more orientations the merrier, but I haven’t seen the office bulletin board.) In any case, behave yourself.
