Portugal’s underwear for the 2010 World Cup

By: Corrine | Comments Add Comments

portugalunderarmour

Portugal’s new under armour kits for the 2010 World Cup were unveiled today by Nike. We appreciate Nani’s effort and all but this photo is seriously lacking of our favourite hairgel-obsessed Portuguese winger. Where in the world is Cristiano Ronaldo for times like these? Maybe the weeks spent recovering from injury has put him out of shape, or perhaps there’s a clause in his contract with Armani that prohibits him from modeling underwear for other labels. Err, so much for putting your country first, Ronni.

Diego Forlán. Shirtless. For our Health

By: Amanda Leerat | Comments 1 Comment

Oh, look! It’s Atletico Madrid player Diego Forlán, showing us that his abs and biceps apparently have something to do with “men” and “health.” Wondering if it shouldn’t actually read “Women’s Health,” though?

(Because we’re suddenly feeling much better.)

Spotted on Atletico Madrid Offside.

Derby Weekend in Photos

By: Corrine | Comments Add Comments

The past weekend gave us some of the most intense footi we’ve seen all month! There were derbies in virtually every league – some which consisted of badge kissing, Bitchface™, badly behaved ballers (holy red cards, Batman!) and even beach balls!

Here’s a mini photo recap of the derbies from the weekend:

1) Fenerbahce vs Galataray
Don’t let the confetti fool you – this actually wasn’t a cup final but I suppose you can get away with an over-the-top celebration when you crush your arch rivals 3-1. Unfortunately, no sign of garment removal is evident in this photo, but at least Alex de Souza was gracious enough to take his socks off for us. Thanks man.

Inside the dressing room for the Serbia NT

Part of this photo is NSFW. It’s like a game of “Where’s Waldo” – there many decoys to distract you from spotting your objective, but if you try hard enough you’ll find what you’re looking for.

Martin Palermo: Wet and Happy

By: Amanda Leerat | Comments 2 Comments

Oh, look! It’s Argentina’s Martin Palermo, wet and shirtless, celebrating after scoring a goal that helps keep Argentina’s World Cup dreams alive.

We can get behind this kind of celebration. Or in front of. Or kind of…sideways. But pressed up close.

(And we curse the day that the removing shirt = yellow card rule was ever implemented.)

David Villa in Sport Life Estilo… modeling?

By: Corrine | Comments 5 Comments

Here’s a look of Valencia striker David Villa on the cover of this month’s issue of Sport Life Estilo.

Unlike his Spanish teammate Sergio Ramos, who tried a bit too hard to perfect the pouty-model face, El Guaje is as natural in front of camera as he is in front of goal. No direction was needed for him — please, Señor Bitchface doesn’t take orders from anyone!!! Dahveed simply arrived on set sporting the same expression he uses to scare off defenders (and maybe with some extra soul-patch grooming for the special occasion).

Nudity and Hip Dips and Zlatan! Oh My! (and Blogger Needed)

By: Amanda Leerat | Comments 4 Comments

(Spotted on ONTD)

Occasionally we see a video that leaves us speechless. This is such a video. Let’s just allow Zlatan’s undergarment to speak for itself, shall we?

(Click on the link, and on the second page of the comments you will also find this in the form of a .gif, which, sadly, is too big to post here, but which you should enjoy anyway.)

Also, HABS is looking for a few good women to carry on the HABS tradition. If you think you have what it takes — irreverence, the ability to blindly objectify, and a talent for stringing a sentence or two together without destroying your keyboard with drool — then please check out our blogger guidelines. If you’re still interested, drop a note to our editor Daryl at Daryl[at]theoffside[dot]com.

Weekend Kisses

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 3 Comments

After new arrival Diego Milito scored both goals (Zlatan who?) in Inter’s preseason win over AC Milan on Sunday, Javier Zanetti could think of only one way to thank him. See? That kind of inspired decision-making is why he’s captain.

Under the jump, the Russians (well, one Russian and two Brazilians) get into the act.

At Milan, There is No Line Between Football and Modeling

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 1 Comment

Because AC Milan long ago signed a contract in blood with Dolce & Gabbana, they are now followed to the ends of the earth by minions with cameras. These are not, however, your typical, sports-photographing minions. Oh no, not for Milan — Milan are followed by fashion photographers, so that everything they do appears to be not only carefully posed, but also well-dressed. (Thanks to H4M for the heads up.)

Club America: Taking the World Football Challenge by Storm

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 5 Comments

Club America goalkeeper Armando Navarrete would like you to know two things. First, that his team just beat Inter Milan (in PKs) and AC Milan in the space of four days, and second, that they’re planning to take Chelsea on Sunday, too.*

We here at HABs, meanwhile, would like you to know just one thing: Navarrete is far from the only adorable person on the team — if you’re ignoring them, you’re missing out.

*Yes, yes, we know that Club America’s season starts next week, and that they’re much further along in their preparation than anyone else in the World Football Challenge. Don’t harsh our squee, alright?
