MVH Preview (Most Valuable Hottie): England v Algeria

June 18, 2010 — by Christine

The England vs. Algeria game hasn’t started yet, but goddamnit, I just can’t wait. Here is a sneak peek at some potential Most Valuable Hotties to watch in Match 23:

Gareth Barry (England)

Gareth Barry (born 23 February 1981) is an English midfielder who plays for Manchester City in the English Premier League.

Why He’s MVH Worthy:

He’s not some playboy, model-banging footie star. No Cannavaro-ing for Barry: he married his childhood sweetheart Louise in 2007, with whom he has sired two adorable footie kids: a son, Oscar, and a daughter, Freya. <3 a Family Man!
– Look at those hands.. my god they’re huge. Just sayin!

Rafik Halliche (Algeria)




Rafik Halliche
(born September 2, 1986 in Algiers) is an Algerian footballer who currently plays for C.D. Nacional in the Portuguese first division on loan from S.L. Benfica, as a central defender.

Why he’s MVH Worthy: He looks good in those headphones. No but real talk: the venerable BleacherReport says that Halliche ‘has a knack for the ball and is also a quality offensive player from the defensive back’ ( – and we LOVE it when they take it from the defensive back). BleacherReport also reports that he is known a a ‘tough guy’ among his teammates, though evidently he has a softer side, too (see pic above right) – a balance that can’t be beat.

Good luck, Rafik and Gareth! Butter up the crumpets and couscous – I’m ready to get F(IFA)ED!

MVH Preview (Most Valuable Hottie): USA vs. Slovenia

June 18, 2010 — by Christine1

Hey guys! I’m new here. I don’t know too much about football – but I do know about hotties, and football happens to be full of them. So here’s my pick for MVH (Most Valuable Hottie) of this otherwise disappointing game:

Zlatan Ljubijankič

Zlatan Ljubijankič (born 15 December 1983 in Ljubljana) is a Slovenian striker currently playing for the Belgian Jupiler Pro League club K.A.A. Gent and the Slovenian national team. In his earlier hottie years, he  played for NK Domžale, winning the much coveted ‘journalist’s Slovenian Player of the Year-Award in the 2006-07 season’ (yeah, Zlatan, work that!)

Zlatan is the standout babe of the game, and also happens to have scored a beautiful second goal for ‘Little Slovenia’ (is it cool to say that? NYT’s doing it so guess so!). The combination of his impeccable bone structure and rugged, Eastern European-y good looks (that masculine brow! those deepset eyes! that commanding, slightly crooked schnauz!) all atop a lean striker’s build… perfection. Congratulations, Zlatan, on being the sexiest man of Match 22!
