World Cup 2010 Players: Which Hotties Should Become Male Models? (PHOTOS, POLL)

First Posted: 07/09/2010 8:19 am   Updated: 05/25/2011 5:00 pm

The World Cup soccer players are already being scouted for next season--the next fashion season, that is. According to the New York Times the playing field is the best place to find brands' newest players. Menswear designer Simon Spurr remarked, "It's rare when you get a Ronaldo or Beckham," referring to two soccer stars-turned models. He added, "It's hard to find that all-in-one package these days. When they come about, the fashion brands jump on them." Nick Sullivan, the fashion director of Esquire, said, "The ones they really need have to be dazzlingly good-looking, be good with their feet and be willing to be a fashion plate."

We've rounded up 13 guys (edit: there are now 14, thanks to popular demand for Arne Friedrich of Germany) who we think meet Sullivan's criteria and would make great male models. Take a look and tell us which soccer studs you'd like to see on the runway and which should sit on the sidelines...or just keep playing futbol.

Male models???? Maybe they are content staying out of the vicious media glare or want to be actors.

really weird choices for this selection here huffpost. I think you were trying to be multicultural or something. I think you could have added several more goodlooking europeans.

One of the benefits of football, there are some really hot men playing. I enjoyed the FIFA World Cup not only for the game but to see some hot looking men. Gourcuff is one hot guy! Wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers....

Haha....I don't think there is anything Gourcuff can do wrong to make me kick him out of bed. He is yummy looking.

Again, Forlan should have been on that list - but if I had to choose, Santa Cruz from Paraguay. Time to visit Paraguay and Uruguay!
10:22 PM on 07/12/2010
Where is Diego Forlan? He should be on this list.
10:27 PM on 07/12/2010
I agree!!!

Lol my parents tried to get to watch the finale, I'm not really interested in football, but damn I sat down and saw one hot guy after another, all hot and sweaty and puffing....

Where the heck is Forlan of Uruguay who was also named best player of the tournament? Is his hair too long or something? There are lots more players who could make this list. Soccer builds hot bodies!
10:03 AM on 07/12/2010
Apprently hot faces too.
10:28 PM on 07/12/2010
His hair length was relatively tame as far as football players go.

How is Yoann Gourcuff not number one. Man belongs on the runaway as much as the pitch. He is sooooooooooo good looking. But the picture HP chose doesn't do him justice.

But yea Bonanegra is hot. Love Jesus Navas, Benny Feilhaber and Fernando llorente to name few.

Ahm - Jesus Navas would be the top of my list. A pity he is only 5'7" -but that dude is HAWT.
