One for the Ladies

Spain's El Mundo has an article today on what many—women and gay men, presumably—see as the most compelling reason to watch the World Cup: the parade of guys in shorts. All of this should give Becks (or, "Spiceman," as the Univision announcer called him on Saturday) something else to worry about this month.

As detailed in the article, here are the poll results from various European newspapers. As a service to those interested, I've included links to the "official" mugshots:

Die Welt (Germany):

1. Roque Santa Cruz (Paraguay)
   
2. Raúl (Spain)
   
3. Luis Figo (Portugal)
   
4. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
5. Thierry Henry (France)

La Gazzetta dello Sport (Italy)

1. Alessandro Nesta (Italy)
2. David Beckham
3. Figo

Ekstra Bladet (Denmark)

1. Freddie Ljungberg (Sweden)
2. Beckham
3. Figo

And the gay community apparently fancies Ljungberg, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ukrainian Adrei Shevchenko.

Not sure why I wrote this one. It's amusing?
