There’s just something about soccer players. They don’t have helmet hair, they have all their teeth, they’re not genetic freaks, and they go at it 45 minutes non-stop. Every time the World Cup comes around, I fall in love. However, I’m not just about vanity. A true combination of soccer skills, a beautiful tan and perfect abs is a must. I have, in my own world, a dream team of soccer guys, and it goes something like this… (Sorry Zidane, red card for you).
David Beckham a.k.a. Becks England’s best dead-ball specialist Beckham is no doubt the sex symbol of soccer. If his foot didn’t heal properly, he could’ve seriously picked up modeling. As a Manchester United fan, I’ve been watching Beckham gain fame and popularity in the last five or six years. This year Captain Becks will lead England out of their group (I pray).

Luis Hernandez One of Mexico’s top stikers, 28-year-old Hernandez earned his fame from World Cup 98. This blonde haired surfer-look-alike is very attractive and some people compare his looks to that of Heath Ledger. Personally I would take him over Heath any day.
Hidetoshi Nakata a.k.a Hide Being Japan’s top player plus rugged good looks, Nakata is admired by Japanese girls everywhere. He is the Japanese soccer hero-you can find posters of him everywhere in his country. He is also one of the few Japanese soccer players to play in a foreign club. Nakata is a solid midfielder and free-kicker. He alone scored 3 goals in a qualifier game against Iran. Now playing home, Nakata will certainly be under tremendous pressure. Alessandro Del Pierro
The Italian team consists of a bunch of hot guys. Even in this company, Del Pierro would make it to the hall of fame. He’s been cursed with injuries and missed opportunities in past seasons, but he is confident he will excel this time. All Italians anxiously await some goals. Michael Owen
The super speedy English striker always saves the day. Anyone who followed the previous World Cup would have heard of or witnessed his talent. Twenty-two-year-old Owen is a phenomenal goal scorer, blessed with astonishing good looks. Already a major target in Brit teen magazines, Owen’s face will definitely appear all over during the World Cup. While Beckham was in his healing process, Owen became the second youngest captain in the history of England. Like Kris said, I’m saving myself for Michael Owen. Seriously, how many soccer players aren’t married yet? Freddie Ljungberg
This Swedish heartthrob finds himself in magazine photo-shoots all the time. Ljungberg is sexy, young, and pretty. This talented midfielder recently recovered from a back injury and will be ready for Sweden’s first match against England.
Rául González
Spain’s numero ten is a perfect blend of talent and charm. Rául is everyone’s dream-dark and handsome. I first noticed him in World Cup 98, when he was still in a developing stage. This time around he is fully equipped and Spain is waiting for him to kick some ass. Gabriel Batistuta a.k.a. Batigol
I personally don’t like Argentina. However, Batistuta as an individual player is a different story. He switched from basketball to soccer at the age of 17, which, in comparison to most other soccer players is really late. Hell, Michael Owen was already scoring for England at 17. Today he is one of the best soccer players in the world. His motivation to improve his skills year after year is truly admirable. Adriano
This 19-year-old Flamengo is one of Brazil’s newest breed of players called forth to the national team. There is much hope and concern for this striker, but so far he has been playing good. One thing is for sure though, Adriano has the perfect smile!
Graeme Le Saux
Unfortunately, Le Saux will not be playing left field for England this year. In the last World Cup I totally had a crush on this baby-face. During a Chelsea game against Tottenham Hotspur, Le Saux’s bad temperment earned him a red card. His hope to contribute in the World Cup then melted faster than an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. Le Saux was devastated and remorseful. After all, he is already 33 years old, the next World Cup will totally be out of his reach. Well, at least he’s still got his cutesy charm and more importantly, his hair. Although the latter might not be around for 2006 either. Robin Slot a.k.a. Slot Machine
This 25-year-old Flying Dutch-man is one of the most ferocious attackers our planet has ever seen. Slot is a predator around the goalmouth and at the bar. Ladies and goalkeepers fall short of breath when this dynamo bears down with his devilish grin and his powerful right foot.
Matt Houston a.k.a. Glass Joe
The heart and soul of the Dinos doesn’t like to get photographed but he couldn’t escape our cameras during his week-long vacation with sweetheart Mia Hamm. So hot.
Honourable Mentions:
Sunday Oliseh – The beautiful ex-captain of Nigeria
Owen Hargreaves – England’s defender, Calgary’s home sweetheart.
Cobi Jones – The rebellious American nappy head.
Roberto Baggio – Admit it, he’s a classic Italian hottie!
Francesco Coco – Whoa, another Italian…
Darren Huckerby – Why must the English players be so attractive?
Oliver Bierhoff – This German attacker isn’t too bad.
Thierry Henry – I wouldn’t kick him out of bed.
