GHD: The Final Four Bracket

By: chris | July 30th, 2007
   

final4.gifThe quarterfinals are over, much to my pleasure. There was only one “upset” last round, and at this point it isn’t all that much of an upset at all. Nobody seems to be able to stop the follicular steam roller that is Djibril Cisse. Even though the vote was still fairly close, it must be observed that a great percentage of Serio Ramos’ votes were for something other than his hair. And the females can feel free to read into that however they damn well please.

Rino Gattuso also squeaked past a young Spaniard, showing that while David Beckham may be a surpassable obstacle, he is no match for the manly beastness of Ivan the Terrible. In what could probably be considered not much of a surprise at all, both Giallorossi participating absolutely dominated their opponents with a victory margin topping 85%. Because my readers aren’t biased whatsoever. Nope nope nope.

The Roundup:

North Bracket

Mexes
v Davids: Philippe has done absolutely nothing to give any doubt that he is the number one overall seed in this tournament. As dominating as it gets.

Torres v Gattuso: I’ll go ahead and say that FT likely has a brighter hair future than Rino, considering his age and already outstanding CV, but he is no match for the overall package that is Gennaro Ivan Gattuso. The ultimate total package when it comes to hair.

South Bracket:

Cisse v Ramos: It was really close, but Cisse pulled it out at the end. Ramos’ hotness, anywhere, was no match for Cisse’s cultured talents. Boys got skillz. (yeah, I meant that z – he’s hood)

West v Totti: tisk tisk tisk

The Final Four:

North Bracket:

1. Philippe Mexes CB AS Roma
2. Gennaro Gattuso CM Milan

South Bracket

8. Djibril Cisse ST Marseille
2. Francesco Totti ST AS Roma

No real matchup of the Final Four, Cisse is obviously the low seed, but we all know why he was docked a few spots. But he is going up against Rome’s icon. Gennaro should put up a much better fight than any of Philippe’s recent opposition, but come on, he’s number one overall for a reason. His talent is too great to deny.

One interesting development is the fact that this is two Italians v. two Frenchies, two countries who I think participated in another tournament recently. Let’s just hope Cisse doesn’t try to headbutt Totti when things things aren’t going his way.

Philippe v Rino to be released a little later today.

  • I would be happy to call somebody "hot as balls," except that, as I have explained elsewhere, I have used up my immaturity quota for the day. Tune in tomorrow, when I will also be talking about "fatigued right groins."

    P.S. Where's Martha? Not that this is related to either ball temperature or groin fatigue.

  • Could we stop being serious around here people? For fuck's sake. Would somebody call somebody 'hot as balls' and get this thing started again? Christ.

    :) (Is it me, or is 'emoticon' an oxymoron?)

  • Oscar, no worries. That was just me being sarcastic. I thought it was humorous. Maybe not so much.

    I shoot piquant, sisterly little daggers at Chris all the time (since he's an Italy fan and all) and just extended it to you assuming you'd understand. I should have inserted multiple smiling little emoticons at the end. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

    And sorry about the Cisse photo. Except not really.

  • oscar

    Laurie, you couldn't have misread the tone of that post anymore even if you tried. We cool?

  • Inara, that's exactly what I thought! I figured that was what I noticed because I'm old and married. Apparently not.

    And Oscar: Did I force you to click on it? Did I take your fingers and personally wrap them around your mouse and force your index finger down? I think not. Stop whining.

  • oscar

    Damn you Laurie, damn you straight to hell! Cursed be that link.

  • Inara47

    Holy shit, Cisse's thighs! Are so long!

  • Wife is a hairstylist. That's cheating.

    And I've seen that pic, but yeah, not sure how safe for work it is, and beyond that, I'm not really sure what the hell it has to do with hair.

  • Wait a second. I, personally, don't know why Cisse was docked a few spots. What did I miss?

  • For the Cisse photos, you need to be sure to include this one. (Beware before clicking. Whether or not it's safe for work probably depends on where you work. But it's arty and tasteful. Right?)

  • Hey, we can't help it that Roma's boys have the prettiest hair around. It's not their fault they're damn blessed.

  • Inara47

    I think I know who is going to win...I don't think even Philou has a chance, this being the Roma Offside and all. :P

  • Vlad

    Mexes vs. Totti...that's just not right!

  • oscar

    Wonderful, wonderful stuff!
    I just know I'm going to end up balancing my vote in the final by voting for Philipe one second, and the captain the very next...it's going to be a rough couple of days, methinks.
