Here's my attitude about soccer: Come for the hot guys, stay for the sport. I manage to forget how hot they are until World Cup rolls around every four years, but maybe I'll remember for longer this time.

I already had some vague awareness of the hotness of Thierry Henry for some reason, but I was oblivious to pretty much everyone else. That changed very quickly.

At the end of the Italy game, they kept showing their respective world rankings (which were something like fifth and eighty-ninth) like some kind of visual representation of, "We have no idea how this tie is happening."
