Hi All-

The vast majority of soccer-bashers on this thread don't have remotely near the fitness to run between five and seven miles in the course of a typical 90-minute match plus the jumping, tackling, kicking, sprinting, and diving that is required. To the dimwits calling the sport "gay" I submit a few more examples of girlfriends and wives of top-notch soccer players:

England and Arsenal centerback Ashley Cole's girlfriend Cheryl Tweedy

Brazilian player Ronaldo's girlfriend Raica Oliveira

Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is supported by girlfriend Alena Seredova

French striker David Trezeguet and his wife Beatrice

Dutch star Rafael van der Vaart with his wife Sylvie Meiss

German star Michael Ballack is married to Simoneis Ballack

England and Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney's girlfriend Colleen McCloughlin

The simple fact-of-the-matter is these superior athletes can benchpress, squat, curl, and deadlift more weight, run faster, jump higher, and have more aerobic endurance (your ladies will understand that importance...) than the little jealous men posting on this thread. Hey, such is life!

In my lacrosse playing days, we ran more than the cross country team. Lacrosse players are typically as fit as soccer players, and can think 3-dimensionally. Kinda shoots down your argument, eh, chump.

Seen any of Derek Jeters girlfriends, they are kinda hot, too.

Soccer is still happy...

I'll concede the "run faster" part...but not any other.
And I doubt any of these guys can bench press more than any of the ladies in the pictures you've included.

Let me guess...you weigh 350 or so, and can barely move off your couch, therefore you watch soccer?

That "soccer stars get the hot chicks" argument is among the dumbest arguments for the activity called soccer (or "soccre" for the Brits.)
