    Possibly my all-time best Brazilian team. Come on, how good is your football knowledge, Who can name them all?

    Who's the midget to the right of Garrincha?

    Anyways, starting from top left and going right.

    Rooney, Fellaini, Costa, Captain America, Carlos, Cruyff, Maradona with a mustache, Ronaldinho, Pele, Pato, someone suffering from Spina Bifida, Eriksson.
    :lol:

    Selected for best ass competition for WC as the miss best butt. Please discuss

    Look, as a guy of the hetero persuasion -- I get the hot, semi-naked women thing. But what I clearly don't understand is why this strange behavior comes out every four years associated with football and almost never inbetween. Never with Champions League. Never with the Euro or Copa America, or even the Confed Cup.

    It's freakishly bizarre why people always do this... it would be as if people started posting baby pictures every Summer Olympics.

    I see what goes on daily in the NSFW thread. But somehow journalists and the male public has equated the World Cup equated with a strip show -- that's what I don't get. No other threads on these forums over the past decade have this cycle where, like clockwork, chick pix start pouring out on schedule for no obvious reason.

    It's the world cup. It's famous for a party atmosphere that no other sporting event can match which, in turn, attracts a lot more slappers that probably know very little about what they come to actually watch.

    But I feel totally manipulated by the media in this. Like we're being conditioned to buy light beer like a bunch of sheep who will do their bidding as long as they push the right levers on us, Clockwork Orange-style. Slide the meat under the cell door - it's that time - and they'll lap it up like ignorant dogs.

    If it was only a "world" focus either. The chicks are typically all Europeans and South Americans. Heaven forbid if any of them happen to be African or black, let alone Asian.

    @swag FLAMING HETERO!!
    I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but when the parade of "WAG" stories and photos of girls in bikinis on sports blogs comes out every four years at World Cup time, my suspicion meter goes through the roof. :p

    what about ronaldo?!?!!? and like you said rivelino ahead of zico :howler:
    Pelé, Garrincha and Romário. Is there room left for Ronaldo? Don't think so. :D

    Well, Zico might have been the better player, individually. But he'll always be the one guy who bought us nothing, not even a single Copa América.


    Since nobody seems to know it. Here's the team:

    Taffarel, Carlos Alberto Torres, Aldair, Bellini, Roberto Carlos.

    Falcão, Rivelino, Ronaldinho, Pelé, Garrincha, Romário.

    Zagallo.

    Because it's not us posters who take photos of these chicks, we just post 'em occasionally. If they made best ass for CL every year we'd probably see that too.

    Why do people do it? It's just marketing, it gives more attention for the whole cup. It's what people always want to see. Larissa Riquelme got famous at the last WC, just because one photo appeared where she had a phone between her breasts, now she's a model or something.

    This is a global competition when the whole world follows, unlike others that you named. Gotta sell the news. And you always know things that are easy to sell.
