And what do you think they were thinking while the photographer was snapping away?

Here are my guesses.  If you have better ones, and I’m sure you will, since you all are a very creative bunch, leave them as comments so we can all enjoy them!

Iker – here we go again, kids!

Carvalho – yes, here we go again.

Pepe – that would be the perfect trick to play on Crís and Marcelo!

Sergio – I hope my hair looks good.  It did take me two hours to style it this morning.

Sahin – I hope I don’t get injured taking a picture.

Khedira – what does “patata” mean?

Cris – my hair has to be higher than Callejón’s.  And I have to be tanner than Mesut.

Kaká – so if Isabella marries Cristiano Junior, that would make me and Cris…

Benzema – I have a certain je ne sais quoi, no?

Özil – it’s the new and improved Mesut – a tan, a six-pack…

Granero – Hemingway, Bob Dylan, Vonnegut, Murakami, the Beatles, Springsteen, Poe…

Marcelo – bafao, bafao, bafao, bafao…

Adán – I wonder how many more of these I’ll be in?

Xabi – … I’m not even posing.

Coentrão – so if Vitória marries Cristiano Junior, that would make me and Cris…

Altintop – ok, just tell me when… wait, you already took the picture?

Arbeloa – I really should tweet about this.

Albiol – I really should be on twitter.

Varane – this time last year, I was taking my school photos and now I’m at Real Madrid…

Higuaín – hey you, tienes msn?

Callejón – my hair has to be higher than Cristiano’s.

Di María – I wonder if they’ll let me make a heart with my hands for the photo?

Pedro Mendes – I cannot believe I’m here.

Lass – a thumbs-up?  Are you kidding me?

Mejías – maybe if I just stare straight ahead, they won’t be able to tell that I’m nervous.
