An embarrassment of riches

In honour of Spain's victory yesterday (and because I simply couldn't choose just one of these guys), today we will have a Monday Men post rather than a Monday Man one.

In preparing this feast for the eyes, I have noticed that these players leave their clothes on a lot more than the Italians. And compared to Christiano Ronaldo (who practically lives in his skivvies), they are positively nunnish. I am hoping that magazines around the world will do a "team in underwear in locker room" photo shoot to celebrate their win, and I will certainly report back here if that happens.

But for now, in no particular order, I give you the newest World Cup heroes:

Raul Albiol
age: 24
height: 6'2" (Julia, this stat's for you)
team: Real Madrid






Sergio Ramos
age: 24
height: 6'0"
team: Real Madrid



Xabi Alonso
age: 28
height: 6'0"
team: Real Madrid (hmm, I'm sensing a trend here)







Pedro Rogriguez
age: 22
height: 5'6 1/2"
team: Barcelona



Javi Martinez
age: 21
height: 6'3"
team: Athletic Bilbao



Fernando Torres
age: 26
height: 6'1"
team: Liverpool



Juan Mata
age: 22
height: 5'7"
team: Valencia CF




Jesus Navas
age: 24
height: 5'7"
team: Sevilla



Iker Casillas (goalkeeper and captain)
age: 29
height: 5'11 1/2"
team: Real Madrid



Cesc Fabregas
age: 23
height: 5'9"

There you have it. Anyone up for a trip to Madrid?
And if you can still concentrate on anything after all that - Major League Baseball's Home Run Derby is happening tonight!
