RafaLint: September 29th
Video from Rafa’s practice:
I put the caption text from the video through a mangle:
Era passing bo!!
El que passa es que jo no encertat a res aposta…
Mos fas s’ emboscada…no podem guanyar mai amb aquests handicaps…
L’ any passat hauriem d’ haver guanyat do tota sa vida… l’ any passat va ser increible.
En Xabi Alonso va fer un pase molt bo, llarg i n’ Arbeloa va tocar de primeres be i s’ altre li va pegar be tambe…
Que a sa tercera bolla hagis de fotre una pedrada cap endavant quan el barca ha demostrat…
clarament que es el sistema quan to ets mes bo… si no ets mes bo no
Passing was good!
The thing is that I would not bet anything right …
Mos do s’ ambush … we can never win with these handicaps …
Last year we should have won do all his life … last year was incredible.
In Xabi Alonso did a very good pass, long in ‘Arbeloa played the first well is the other hit him well too …
His third ball that you have to fuck a stone’s throw forward when the boat has proved …
clearly that when the system is more good to you … if you are not a good month
Based on that and a tweet today, I think the reason Arnau Brugues said gracias was because he’d just won Rafa’s shirt. :D
Some screen grabs from the vid: here and here.
And what, no airport footage? Hmph!

- Before getting rained out at the USO.
Rafa does social media:
- Rafa and his wings let us know that he was flying to Taipei with Roig.


Did Rafa almost throw his racquet? He looked kinda pissy during practice. Pissy Rafa = hot.
Rafa really doesn’t like to lose a bet:)
Yeah, he was really pissed, wasn’t he?
Luv the sneakers.
Love the sneakers too! Does that mean his kit for the ‘Asiatic’ tour is green and blue again? I need to know! Want to paint my nails this weekend! :)
I think it’s the sneakers from his AO 2012 outfit. At least according to this:

Thanks for putting the captions through Google translate, not that I understood that either!
I love the intensity of the practice session! Rafa’s looking good. Even David J Nadal, a journo who tweets alot of Rafa stuff when he’s in Mallorca, said Rafa was looking physically good and in great spirits at that session. So all sounds fantastico! Gosh I miss Rafa a lot. Haven’t seen enough of him in the last couple of weeks, and now that I’ve seen this vid, makes me so happy to see him again.
Love the carefree, smiling Rafa in the Balearic promo! and Love the Longer Hair! Let it grow Rafa!
I know, right? Watching these old videos makes me nostalgic for the days of Tarzan Rafa. I loved the long hair.
Well I just love the first Vid, Rafa is looking swell and sssexy! lime/turq look lovely on him.. god I miss Rafatennis!!!
Is there any comparison between tipsy and Rafa??? no of course not!!!…
Glad to here he is in good spirits, but I love ‘pissy Rafa’, he is sexier than ever when his mad! wow, just wow!
