World Cup runneth over in sexy men
For millions of TV viewers who are following the World Cup, there is more to admire than mere dribbling and back-heel-passes, namely legs shaped as though sculpted, seductive smiles, disarming gazes.Latinos, Scandinavians, Central Europeans, Asians, Africans - the tournament is a showcase of sexy men for every taste. On some of the participating teams, all of the players are good-looking. On others, the charisma of certain players far outshines that of their teammates.
Political tensions notwithstanding, the team whose players have caused the greatest stir with their looks is Iran. Young German women and girls scramble to get autographs from the raven-haired, intense-eyed .
The tall, strong players of Ivory Coast have also sent many a heart aflutter.
Some media outlets have published rankings of the handsomest World Cup players. No. 1 on the list by the German newspaper Die Welt is Paraguay’s Roque Santa Cruz, followed by Spain’s Raul and the Portuguese duo Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Glove affair: Arsenal's Jens Lehmann is the talk of the papers |
The Sun, regretting having already used 'Safe Hans' in a previous round, hails 'Super Mann' but reminds us that the Gunners have been known as Lucky Arsenal since the Thirties.
"They appeared to have used up enough good fortune to last another 70 years... but if they play [in Paris] like they did last night they will be going to the French capital just for the ride."
The Daily Star ('History Mann') says that "Lehmann will go down as an Arsenal legend for this... the last season at Highbury and a penalty save in the last moments of the semi-final - is this fate at play?"

Liverpool Defeats Manchester United in FA Cup 1-0
from BBC sport:
Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd | ||
Liverpool recorded their first FA Cup win over Manchester United in 85 years with an impressive Anfield victory. Peter Crouch headed home Steve Finnan's cross after 19 minutes to give Rafael Benitez's side a deserved place in the quarter-finals. Edwin van der Sar had saved brilliantly from Harry Kewell seconds earlier as Liverpool dominated a poor United side. United's misery was compounded as substitute Alan Smith suffered a broken leg blocking a free-kick late on.
