			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The<a href="http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/"> Netherlands</a> booked their ticket to the World Cup Final today (and not <a href="http://www.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2010/another-day-another-dubious-decision-the-dutch-offside-goal.html">without some controversy</a>). The important thing is, though, that after the game the Dutch players were all in a very good mood &#8211; good enough to strip a bit. Oh, and <strong>Dirk Kuyt</strong> is quite fit.<span id="more-1055"></span></p>
<p>He looks pretty good from the front:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://habs.theoffside.com/files/2010/07/Dirk1.jpg" alt="Dirk Kuyt shirtless 1" width="418" height="610" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1056" /><br />
<font color="gray">Not bad. Nice broad chest, big arms&#8230; I am beginning to think of Dirk in a whole new light.</p>
<p></font></p>
<p>.<br />
.<br />
And not so bad from the side:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://habs.theoffside.com/files/2010/07/Dirk2.jpg" alt="Dirk Kuyt shirtless 2" width="425" height="610" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1057" /><br />
<font color="gray">Nice abs as well. Who knew?</p>
<p></font></p>
<p>As for the rest, one wonders what Robben was thinking. At least, the good people at Getty Images tell me this is <strong><a href="http://players.theoffside.com/arjen-robben.html">Arjen Robben</a></strong>. As I am not directly familiar with this view of the man, so I will take their word for it:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://habs.theoffside.com/files/2010/07/Robben.jpg" alt="Robben butt" width="610" height="425" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1058" /><br />
<font color="gray">At least the photographer was standing behind Robben. Yikes.</p>
<p></font></p>
<p>My question is, who is the guy with the bright idea to pants Robben in front of a stadium full of people, a massive tv audience, and any number of eagle-eyed photographers? </p>
<p>Or is this just how one celebrates in the Netherlands? </p>

<p></font></p>
<p>On the field trip were such lovelies as Senhor cheekbones Pedro Mendes, Ricardo Rocha, Paulo Ferreira, Rolando, Daniel Fernandes, Danny and Beto with an adorable little lion cub. So cute you could just squeeze them. </p>
<p>Not to be outdone, Deco and Nani pose with a giraffe.</p>

<font color="gray">Ok, maybe not quite as cute, but come on, who doesn&#8217;t like giraffes?</p>

<p>And just for good measure. Everyone take a deep breath, all together now &#8220;AAAAWWWWWW.&#8221;</p>

<p>As spring turns to summer so Dolce and Gabbana turn to the <a href="http://italy.worldcupblog.org/">Italian National Team</a> to strip to their undies and get spayed down all in the name of fashion. This time, we even get a behind-the-scenes video. Hooray!<span id="more-1019"></span></p>
<p>It seems that one of the perks of being on the Italian National Team is that you get to pose mostly naked in Dolce and Gabbana underpants.  They did it in <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-cWW9I3TowU/Rlb9kEB6W6I/AAAAAAAAAA0/ZubJ9jflw80/s400/dgad3.jpg">2007</a>, in <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2439951111_2eae043e4c.jpg">2008</a>, and<a href="http://cheapechic.blogosfere.it/images/dolce-gabanna-underwear-summer-2009-ads-04.jpg"> last year</a> as well. I think that by now it can safely be considered a duty that comes with the call-up (get your cap and grab your panties!).</p>
<p>This year the old guys are out, no Cannavaro or Gattuso, just the supple young flesh of the Vincenzo Iaquinta, Federico Marchetti, Antonio di Natale,  Domenico Criscito, and the oh-so hot Claudio Marchisio:</p>

<p>This time, just in case you dont know what they do, the underwear has the word &#8220;Calcio&#8221; (Italian for football) right there on the band.  How handy is that!?!</p>
<p>And now, in full living the color, the promised behind the scenes:</p>
<p><object width="660" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/A3ZO3kZreiI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/A3ZO3kZreiI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="660" height="405"></embed></object></p>
<p>Thank you Signori Dolci and Gabbana. Grazie.</p>
