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 [...]

Andy Carroll: Looking Good in the Championship

By: Lotte Cox | Comments No Comments

Alright, so Newcastle went down. That doesn’t mean Andy Carroll isn’t still just as tall and slim and dreamy as he was in the Premiership, dammit! He’s definitely the main reason we appreciate Newcastle’s decision to end each of their three-a-day training sessions with ice baths. More, please.

Matteo Ferrari: Bringing the Hot in Istanbul

By: Lotte Cox | Comments No Comments

After a delay allegedly caused by his showgirl wife Aida Yespica’s hesitation to move to Turkey, Genoa’s Matteo Ferrari (You remember him, right?) completed his move to Besiktas yesterday. While it’s a sad day for Serie A because he’s both easy on the eyes and coming off his best season in a while, the fact [...]

Oguchi Onyewu: An American in Milan

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 4 Comments

[Buck up, Gooch, you're goin' to Milan!]
After a couple weeks of being one of the few Italian teams not allegedly interested in him, AC Milan announced this morning that Oguchi Onyewu will be joining the big time, trading Belgian champions Standard Liège for a chance in Serie A. And, since Alessandro Nesta hasn’t gone a [...]

Manchester United: Rocking Their New Kits

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 3 Comments

Rio Ferdinand wants you all to know that he thinks United’s new kits are fierce as hell, and suggests you think the same, whether or not a certain Portuguese is wearing them. We don’t know about you, but we’re not going to argue.
More Rio after the jump, along with Rooney, Evra, Park, van der Sar, [...]

Karim Benzema: Welcome to Madrid!

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 1 Comment

As everyone has no doubt heard, Karim Benzema packed up his stuff and moved from Lyon to Real Madrid yesterday, throwing his hat into the ring (GEDDIT?) for a regular spot in the New Galacticos™.
How do you think they’ll decide which of their zillion attackers will get to start? Rock, Scissors, Paper? Duels? Asking [...]

Federico Balzaretti: Criminally Overlooked

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 3 Comments

You may remember Federico Balzaretti from this post, in which he helped Palermo youngsters with difficult things like tying ties. But, as evidenced by the above picture, he’s more than capable of standing on his own, without cocky punks like Simon Kjaer cramping his style. Click to see Balza in all his HQ, scruffy, David [...]

Pierluigi Casiraghi: Another One For the Hot Coaches File

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 2 Comments

His tactics may sometimes be dodgy, but Italy’s U21 coach Pierluigi Casiraghi looks so good that we tend to get distracted when we try to question his decisions.

Jérémy Clément: Young, Pretty, and Proud of his Nipples

By: Lotte Cox | Comments 2 Comments

This is Jérémy Clément. He plays for PSG and, despite appearances, is actually an old man of 24 rather than a child of 17. Based on this photoshoot, he also seems to be the physical manifestation of the word “twink.” Not that there’s a damn thing wrong with that, of course.

Tim Cahill: Always Fashion Conscious

By: Lotte Cox | Comments No Comments

Whether he’s playing for Everton or qualifying for the World Cup with Socceroos, Tim Cahill knows labels are important: Check the Armani waistband he carefully displayed during Australia’s postgame celebrations over the weekend. Well done, sir — expect that fee from the Armani office soon.
Two more of the Armani-pimping (oh, and the shirtlessness) after the [...]
