Does it get any hotter than Italian footballers?

It wasn't hard to decide who to root for when watching Sunday's World Cup Final between France and Italy:

Angry Frenchman with Bad Attitude and Alien Head


vs.

Angelic Tall, Dark & Handsome Italian Stallion

Go ahead, "true" soccer fans... call me superficial! (What's more superficial than a world championship title being decided by a few penalty kicks anyway?) That Italian team is HOTT. Below, some of my fave players.


Gianluigi BUFFON
Goalkeeper
b. 1978
Looks like he'd be a rockstar if he wasn't a soccer player. Like 1970s, Ramones-style rock, only not ugly and not in English.



Luca TONI
Forward
b. 1977
Luca Dreami!




Mauro CAMORANESI
Midfielder
b. 1976
Love the hair, dude. Lose the skunky beard, though.







Fabio GROSSO
Defender
b. 1977
Cute despite that Jay Leno chin and the somewhat dim-witted expression.

Add all of these guys to my "Fantasy Roster."
