FOOTBALL! (or, well, soccer.)
With the Premiership ending, the Euro 2008 qualifiers, and La Liga going down to the wire, I thought I would put together a pictorial introduction to footballers other than, you know, Cristiano Ronaldo. And David Beckham. Even though he's in here.
(Some of) You asked, so here it is - picture heavy. Really picture heavy. Organized by the country they're playing in. (Footballers are totally celebs in other countries, by the way. They get magazine spreads, fashion shoots, paparazzi and everything. My secret aspiration in life is to be a footballer's wife, no lie.)
