on the plane and on the ground

As you know, one of my obsessions is finding out who sits with whom whenever the team takes a plane ride.  Thanks to some pictures from Madrid’s web site, we have some partial information on the seating arrangements in the flight to Los Angeles, and there were no real surprises.

I love how the boys looked like they were schoolboys taking a school trip together with minimum supervision!  (But seriously, can you believe Marcelo is now the fourth captain?)

– Pepe sat with Marcelo, and I’m sure Cristiano was nearby, maybe feeling a bit left out, and severely missing his bestie Kaká?

– Lass sat with Benzema.

– Pedro León and Granero were next to each other.

– the two goalies, Adán and Dudek, sat together.

– it looks like Diarrá sat with Drenthe.

– and that the two Argentines, Garay and Gago, were also together.

– and the canteranos of course, concretely Nacho and Juanfran (Nacho did not sit with his brother Álex).

Is the city of Los Angeles ready for the hotness that is about to descend on them starting today and continuing through the weekend?
