Ladies ‘Rank’ The Men Of The German National Team

And that there is your winner.

A German internet site devoted to finding partners for infidelity – worth noting when considering the voting pool – took a poll of 1300 female members to find the most desirable man of the German national team. In an completely shocking turn, Mario Gomez led the vote, which means there’s a joke to go here about his ability to score on the pitch mirroring his ability to score off it as well. But I won’t write it.

Bastian Schweinsteiger came in second, attracting the group who enjoy quality playmaking from midfiel. And he probably has some other attractive attributes, but that’s for the ladies to decide. Meanwhile, either Holger Badstuber or Manuel Neuer came in third, depending on the source*, which matters little as it makes this a Bayern Munich monopoly on Die Mannschaaft groupies.

* – Links to the original results, FirstAffair.de, aren’t easily found, nor is it a place where one wants to get lost for very long.

The top spots they would like to enjoy the company of these men came in at the massage room and then the stadium garage.

Because nothing’s more erotic than exhaust fumes.

Donetsk Turns Bus Stops Into Goals

Posted: 29 Mar 2012 09:23 AM PDT

This is an excellent idea to promote Euro 2012 in the city, and it might not even sport a lower cost on materials for normal bus stops. (Shot in the dark.)

It’s going to be a terrible idea the first time an old lady gets her nose broken because some kid decided to chip a Moskvitch from across the street. Because that’s probably going to happen this summer – a lot.

Eric Cantona Thinks Everyone Can Win A World Cup

Posted: 09 Mar 2012 09:25 AM PST

Soak up that photo for a moment. The man can’t be stopped, and neither can his drooping blouse.

Two bold claims from Planet Eric this week:

i. The US will win a World Cup within the next 20 years. (So one of the next five.)
ii. The Catalonia national team could win a World Cup.

Alright – very bold claims.

Referring to America, he says:

"Football in that country is just starting," he said. "I've seen nine-year-old players who are mini geniuses and so with all the coaches and input being done, that country will win a World Cup within the next 20 years.

And…


"Like Cruyff at Barcelona we are training them in a certain way, to love football — and teaching them to win of course. There’s a lot of work to be done. If the US team got to a quarter-final or semi-final we'd be very proud.

“This is what Barcelona did. I think a Catalan team could win a World Cup."

Marca then set about matching them up on paper.

That’s a touch weak at the top to be winning a World Cup, one would think, without that Maradona or Messi-esque individual brilliance capable of attacking a trophy all on their own, but the midfield and central defense are dreamy. And get run out on Sundays quite a bit.
