Well add her to the list full of reasons why Diego Forlán is such a winner. The Atlético Madrid striker and Uruguayan international has had a wonderful season after ending the Colchoneros 48-year dryspell of international trophies.

He is also doing his part to help Uruguay get to the quarterfinals where they might face off against the US.

But regardless of what happens, he will always be with a smile as his girlfriend is none other than Argentine model Zaira Nara. Maxi López sister-in-law was featured in an Umbro video where she was wearing her boyfriend's uniform. River Plate heresy? Nah, she just loves her man. And it's all good, because a woman in uniform looks better than a guy wearing one- any day of the week.

The Manchester native began to make waves back in 2004

Since then she has dated Cristiano Ronaldo and was engaged to current Birmingham City man Marcus Bent.

Since then she has been the standard bearer for WAGS in England. She will be waving the WAG flag in South Africa as the Three Lions will be looking to win their second World Cup title.

The multi-functional Atkinson is also getting ready to release a movie later this year called Baseline. Well hopefully she continues to show more of her lines during the summer. Will make it a little more bearable especially when there is no football being played.

The race for the Scudetto has taken a turn that all fans would appreciate. AS Roma are a point ahead of four-time defending champs Inter and one of its fans put down the gauntlet.

The Italian bombshell made a promise that further motivated Inter and its fans to win the Scudetto. Melita Toniolo said that she would promise to strip in Milan in the event that the neroazzurri win their fifth consecutive title.



This "decree" comes after Argentine singer and model Lola Ponce did the same for the romanistas. 

Toniolo is one of the most popular personalities in Italian television. She has appeared in several television show ever since her big break in 2006.

Well, the 2006 Miss Maxim Italy surely peaked the interest of friend and foe alike. She is further proof that one hot chick is better to look at than 22 dudes.



In my humble opinion, we should stop listening to athletes making guarantees and start hoping that these ladies have the possibility of making theirs come true.

Everyone knows that there can't be a World Cup without Brazil and there can't be a hot woman list with a Brazilian hottie. This solar hot woman is the on & off again girlfriend of Ex-Inter Milan and current Flamengo star striker Adriano. One look at this model/personal trainer and the blood flow definitely goes south.

Joana Machado is so freaking hot that she was offered 1 million Brazilian reals which is $573,000 US to pose nude in the Playboy Brazil edition. However, that offer was trumped by her man when Adriano offered 2 million Brazilian reals which is about $1.1 million US for her NOT to pose nude.

Its obvious why Adriano was miserable in Italy and was missing the comfort of his native Rio De Janeiro. O Imperador was definitely handling his business because this hard body, bronze, Brazilian goddess had his name tattooed on her right and tight body.



WHEW!! Pass me a towel. There's nothing more to say. Check out more of Adriano's honey, Joana Machado.

What do the Super Bowl and El Clásico have in common? Well our focus of the week was at both of them.

We were looking for a reason to have her on our site, and she gave us the perfect excuse, er, I mean... reason.

She was in Madrid for El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Imagine life as CR9's wingman? The sacrifices a man would have to make. Hehe.

I think I will stop chattering and let you enjoy.

In a few weeks, we will do a top ten on the players that will be absent. In the meantime, and in my humble opinion, the list for the hottest WAG not going to the World Cup starts with Croatian Nives Celzijus.

We made a return trip to the Bundesliga as it seems like this league is giving both Serie A and the Premiership a run for their money in the drool department.

Nives is hooked up with Karlsruher defender Dino Drpic (lucky bastard) and live very happily.   Who wouldn't?

Drpic was one of the top prospects from Dinamo Zagreb and became a stalwart in the Croatian side's defense.  For over 200 matches, he called the defensive zone home.  The problem was that he took the "home" part a little too seriously.

According to reports, he showed Nives "all he could do" on the grass pitch.  That little stunt cost him his job, but made him the envy of billions around the world.

Would he do it again?  Green Point Stadium is still being worked on.

Argentine goddess has been in the spotlight of the tabloids on both sides of the pond for her sudden rocky marriage with Bayern Munich defender Martín De Michelis.

Considered by many to be one of the top vedettes in all of South America, Anderson has been able to balance her personal and professional career quite nicely.

This young lady started turning heads at a very young age as she was a dancer on a famous Saturday afternoon variety show.

From that point on she began appearing in various television shows, commercials and would become the face of Blue Satin lingerie as well as Coca Cola and other products in Argentina.

She eventually became a headliner in the famous Argentine summer revues and she would meet her Albiceleste dream and eventually marry him.  Damn.

A die-hard Chacarita Juniors fan, Anderson must have been on cloud nine after her beloved Funebrero defeated Boca Juniors last weekend.

Uh, yeah. The article is done. I think you stopped reading what I had to say in order to observe what she has to offer.

Valentina and Gianluca Zambrotta
If Brazil is a factory of footballers, Italy is a factory of beautiful women. With all due respect to every other country in the world, of course.

Valentina Zambrotta, wife of former Juventus and Barcelona man Gianluca Zambrotta is an eye-catching site. Her elegance and voluptuousness go hand-in-hand and will be part of the spectacle when she goes to support her hubby in South Africa as the Azzurri begin their title against the world's best.

I don't think I can give her justice with words... her pictures alone are worth a million-each.

Well guys, this girl defines sexy.

Uruguayan bombshell Monica Farro has turned heads all over the world. She exudes controversy and has been in the center of every media storm between vedettes.

This former Miss Playboy Uruguay winner has been one of the most searched in all of the internet. From her photoshoots to her scenes... well you gotta look some of those up by yourselves, can't give you guys EVERYTHING!

Much like Lio Messi, Noah Webster or the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language could not develop enough adjectives to talk about this gal.

The best thing about this all is that she is a HUGE football fan. A rabid Peñarol fan as well as Boca Juniors, Farro has made it obvious that she would do "whatever it took" to help her team. Sure they wouldn't mind. Maybe she could help our team do whatever it took to give you the best coverage of the football world.

Come on, the World Cup isn't about just watching dudes run.

It's also about who the dudes on the pitch hang out with off it or take to it.

Once a week (or when we find some interesting material) we will give you a preview of some of the "peeps" that make the dudes on the pitch be so fascinating.

This week, Rio Ferdinand's friend Francoise Boufhal plays "Bloke Counselor".

We're all ears... and eyes!!!

Before you delve in, we have to show you what we came up with during our arduous hours of research. Hey, this is tough work. The things we do for our fans.
