So much more than just soccer

World Soccer Cup is going on...so bear with me if my current posts are related to the most important sport event of the year!

Today I would like to bring your attention to a very significant aspect of the World Cup for us gals: spotting the hottest looking players!

My friend Marlène, from Switzerland, ("Hi, Marlène!") sent me the result of the readers' choice from a newspaper of the French part of the country. They chose the best looking man in the Swiss football team taking part in the World Cup. Take a look at the results in the picture below (Click on it for a bigger version). Notice the latin look of the guys that were chosen... ;)

Another interesting thing is that there are twin brothers in the Swiss team, David and Philipp Degen.

Oh!...and here's a story from today's newspaper. More proof of how important all this is worldwide:

'Green light for Thai monks': Thailand's Buddhist monks must swear off many earthly pleasures, but the government has given them the green light to enjoy the World Cup football, a religious affairs official said. "Thai monks will be allowed to watch the matches because exposure to worldly affairs including soccer is beneficial."

So...I think I will go benefit myself and take a good look at the other teams' hot players! Bye!...
