World Cup mania is now in full force over here in Europe. Cars are covered in England flags, cheesy football* songs play on the radio, and every man, woman and child is walking around with a glint in their eye and knots in their stomach.
After witnessing a few incredible games, seeing grown men cry and noticing a certain stir this sight caused between my legs as opposed to the usual repulsion I became a fan of what we Americans stubbornly call Soccer.
One of the best parts of being a newly made football fan is that I get to spend my time in pubs packed with tons of guys, drinking good beer and coyly asking silly questions which makes them feel more manly and lets me stroke their thigh while I lean in closer to hear for the 17th time what the offside rule is really all about.
I don’t know the sport well enough to convince you all to drop your baseball bats and get behind Team USA for this year’s World Cup by describing the beauty that is a perfect goal at the last second, or the thrill of being able to support your country in a sport that is loved the world over. You are Girlspoke readers.
If there is one thing that you understand it is fuckable eye candy.
So I give you the top 10 reasons to start becoming a Football, Soccer, Futbol… whatever you want to call it - fan.
1. Joe Cole
2. David Beckham
3. Landon Donovan
4. Zinedine Zidane
5. Thierry Henry
6. Fabio Cannavaro
7. Michael Owen
8. Andriy Shevchenko
And guys, just so you know what you’re missing out on by not following the World Cup…

*If I actually call it soccer, my English friends will shove boiled meat down my throat until I gag.

Great, now I need to find out what teams they all play for so I can go, uh, cheer for them in the right bars.
Pic number 10 is all about what soccer is meant to represent - concentration, perseverance, dedication…and wet black chicks
Betty, shall we go and watch the games on the weekend? and you missed Frank Lampard off the list - stilly name, eminently fuckable. Also wimbledon starts soon - good excuse for strawberries and cream washed down with champagne… You have to love the UK occasionally…
Hey I don’t care if you call it soccer, that is what it was originally called anyway, it’s actually us stubborn Brits who decided to call it football. American football is real football.
Oh and England are such a terrible team I think I might just go and hide for the next week or so.
*cue the onslaught*
Naomi, I was forced to watch the match last night and it was dire. they won’t win. but on the plus side, frank lampard and joe cole were looking particularly cute…
Brilliant Betty, I so agree with your keen observations and gave you a shout-out at Miss O’s. Allez les Bleus!
“American football is real football”
