In honor of men's soccer
Since I posted about the women, I also must show my appreciation for the men as well. I love soccer players in the US because they play for the love of the game. Not for the fame or money cause God knows Americans don't like soccer much...lol
Here is the Sports Illustrated for Kids that first introduced me to US Soccer with Cobi Jones and Alexi Lalas featured:
All time favorite men's player was Cobi Jones, loved his hair throughout the years!
New favorite player (Cobi is now retired) isn't a US player. Sadly I don't find anyone on the men's team that appealing (both in skill and/or beauty) and have to look to foreigners. This is Drogba, I think he is one of the most gorgeous men alive. He was also in TIME magazine for being one of the top influential people in the world for his humanitarian work so that really adds to the appeal for me. It is said that he and Abby Wambach have a similar style of play:)
And have to include Becks. I just appreciate that there is a white guy who is (or was to some) that good at a game that is usually dominated by other races. Also have loved his hair choices throughout the years (must be something with soccer players and hair...lol).
I don't know much about Ronaldo except that he is really good at soccer, is extremely good looking and, sadly, I have heard is an asshole. Too bad. Also love his hair;) Kinda want that style for myself actually but don't know if I could pull it off.
Added note: Soccer players, both men and women, definitely have the best bodies out of any athletes (and have realized the best hair styles..haha).
