My Brazil is out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, so I put together a "dreamy" (get it?) team instead. This way... we all win.
Here are the hottest players of the 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup. In my humble opinion... and I'm very opinionated about this.
Hottest Players of the 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup
1. This way, we all win. My FIFA World Cup 2010 dreamy team
2. Ricardo Kaka BIG surprise, right? Itâs true, Iâm a die-hard Brazil fan and I was rooting for this man and his team in every game. That is until Holland beat them⊠As a form of personal revenge, you wonât find any Dutch players on this slideshow. Thatâs right⊠I can hold a grudge.
3. Though he didnât score a single goal, he assisted and played beautifully. He is also beautiful. Good coincidence.
4. PS: That card was uncalled for. But he was a surprisingly good sport. More points for him.
5. CescFĂ bregas He didnât get much play time but he did score a goal. Itâd be unfair to say heâs a young rising star because heâs well beyond that level. Injury and all, heâs done very well for Spain.
8. Diego Lugano Some people disagree but I like Diego Lugano. Iâm not sure why. I like the way he defends⊠Also, youâre welcome for the abs peek ;)
9. Didier Drogba This man is raw talent that has somehow been tamed. But heâs the kind of tamed talent that makes you feel like itâs going to go wild on you unexpectedly. You can tell Iâve thought about this.
10. Gabriel Heinze Donât tell me the way he dove in, spear-like, to hit that header and score against Nigeria didnât make your day in more ways than one.
12. Gonzalo HiguaĂn He was on a roll for a while there -- Scoring goals, making his dad proud, and living up to his family name⊠I hate you Germany. I couldâve used a little more of âEl PipitaHiguainâ in this World Cup.
13. IkerCasillas My, my, my. Where to begin? Honestly?... I donât even know how other players, including his own teammates, manage to take their eyes off Casillas.
16. IkerCasillas He is both a leader and a winner. If youâre not into that, then I canât help you.
17. IkerCasillas Overall⊠there is just something about goalies that I love. I really hope itâs not me enjoying getting bossed around and yelled atâŠ
18. Eduardo See? Told you I had a thing for goalies. Also⊠how cute was it when Eduardo cried when Portugal lost to Spain and Casillas went over to cheer him up? Adorable.
19. Thomas Sorensen Uh oh⊠another goalie. Maybe I DO have a thing for being bossed around and getting yelled at. Hmm⊠letâs try somethingâŠ
20. Tim Howard Oh good. So itâs not all goalies. Props to Howard though. Great performance.
21. Diego ForlĂĄn I donât really like Diego ForlĂĄn, but MY LORD those abs! And those free kicks! Welcome to this list, Diego ForlĂĄnâs abs.
22. Michael Ballack Even though he was mostly out with an injury, I donât think I have to explain myself⊠Also, he is a FAR more respectable veteran than David Beckam (donât look for him on this list).
23. Fernando Torres I feel I will anger a lot of people if I donât put Torres on this list. I miss his long hair thoughâŠ
24. See what I mean? He pulled it off so well. I also believe it was the source of his talentâŠ
25. Sergio Ramos Hereâs someone who knows he looks good with long hair and knows how to rock it. Youâre looking at his hair right?
27. Robinho Iâm going to choose to overlook the fact that heâs sucking his thumb. The man is talented and HAWT.
28. Thierry Henry Ok, so he stuck his hand in to qualify⊠but Iâd like to see you pull a suit off like that.
29. Tiago Were you too busy checking out CristianoRonaldo (NOT on this list) to notice Tiago? You missed out.
30. Miguel Veloso Missed him too? You REALLY need to stop paying attention to Cristiano. Everyone should.
31. Xabi Alonso I just think heâs adorable. And manly. Itâs the beard thing again.
32. Benny Feilhaber He has some Brazilian in him. Thatâs probably it. He didnât really get to play in this World Cup⊠I got so excited every time the camera panned down the players on the bench.
33. Carlos Bocanegra I was so focused on Feilhaber that I refused to believe any other player on the U.S. team was worthy of my time. A friend pointed out my huge mistake. I will thank her forever.
34. Alvaro Pereira He is adorable, humble, and has the prettiest smile. Winner.
35. Even though I already gave away IkerCasillas⊠I did save the very best for last ï
42. Interestingly enough, most of the men on this list are on the Spanish national team. Had I filled out my brackets based solely on looks, I would be leading right now. ÂĄ SuerteEspaña! You proved me wrong on the whole âBrazil-will-win-this-World-Cupâ thing and managed to do what few people can⊠get me to admit that I was wrong. So very wrong.
