Sergio knows just how much of a burden being pretty can really be. We're lucky we're so plain.

Sergio Ramos and Lara Alvarez were papped being all cutesy in Rome over the holidays cutesy like
how Zac Effron and Vanessa Hudgens used to be during their 'High School Musical' days.
Manchester City player Carlos Tevez spent the day yesterday competing in wheelbarrow races at the
beach with his two daughters while the future of his professional services continued to remain a
mystery.
Bojan Krkic was all but mauled by a Kickette Soldier girl at his book signing last week.
We're beyond proud.
Saturday
- Chelsea FC owner and Russian bajillionaire, Roman Abromovich, spared no expense for his New
Year's Eve party in St Bart's.
Lionel Messi was honored in Rosario, his hometown city, as the Embosser of Rosario in the World
just before the start of the New Year. His Mum, Celia (pictured above), and his brothers were
on-hand to offer the Barcelona player their support.

Croatian NT and Shakhtar Donesk captain Darijo Srna is currently on holiday in Barbados.
TMZ has accused him of baby blue Speedo grape smuggling, but we'd like to contest that. The term
that best describes what's going on here is actually "plum smuggling."
Whose side are you on, Kickettes?

Although this distant view of Peter Lowry's midsection was taken at a less than optimal angle, we
still find footballers who proactively offer up shirtless pictures of themselves to be more
attractive than their camera shy peers. Image via Twitter/@KerryBakes.
Er... Crissy? You wouldn't be checking yourself out on the stadium JumboTron like we were, huh?

We are to tennis what hats are to Ladies' Day at Grand National. As a matter of fact, we're
thinking of upping our court side attendance at more matches in the near future especially at the
ones that take place in Madrid and London.

Guys who go to a Katy Perry concert (sans girlfriends) 'for the music' are usually the same guys
who read Playboy 'for the articles.'
Joe and James, we never pegged either of you as one of 'those guys.'

It's with cold hands and gooey hearts that we bring you a warming dose of 'ballers (and their ex
or current WAGs) being affectionate with bubbas today, Kickettes.
Please note: your health may or may not be affected by the cascade of knuckle biting cuteness
that you're about to take in.
Chelsea's Lampard is quite clearly bothered by the effect Elen Rives and her shopping habits are
having on their daughters, Isla and Luna. Image taken 09.2011.
Chelsea/Czech Republic goalkeeper, Petr Cech, played the drums with Czech rock band Eddie
Stoilow at Rock Cafe Club in Prague a few nights ago, which looked to be a helluva good time.
One can only hope, however, that the lady whose bum he was cupping off stage was his lawfully
wedded wife and not some groupie.
Ashely Cole and Chloe Green leaving Cirque du Soir, Ganton Street, London.
Ashley Cole and Chloe Green are a rando mix of people to be seen exiting Cirque du Soir's
backdoor separately at 4am, no?
Clearly they must be doing it. And clearly Ashley has a fetish for oversized, wannabe
ballerinas.

Our weekends were filled with Iker in tight pants-greatness, thank you for asking. How 'bout
yourselves, Kickettes?
Saturday
- John and Toni Terry attended the 'Fashion for Good' charity event at Brooklands Hotel just
at the beginning of the weekend.
Really? Ashley Young couldn't bribe a single person to join him at his younger brother's League Two
game a fortnight ago? Image Credit: Pete Norton/Getty Images.
The more we catch Mario Balotelli in plain clothes, the less we like him. And although we like
to pretend he's aware of this fact, it didn't stop his inner fashion criminal from doing some
dressed-down damage to the streets of Milan on Monday with his girlfriend.
In other words, 'Super Mario' has a lot to learn about being a rich and famous 'baller.
This year's festivities featured an extremely limited supply of fit footballers who we'd gladly
commit fashion faux pas with. Still, we were tickled to see Didier Drogba who, just hours after
Chelsea's 4-1 win over Swansea on Sunday put on his best lederhosen and mingle with fellow
Oktoberfest-goers in Munich.
Rome: city of passion and romance. And late nights? Images: Bauer Griffin/Zimbio.
Either exploring the tourist sights of Rome is more exhausting than we thought, or the edge has
come off this particular coupling already.
After considering all of the facts: it takes several hours and fourteen cups of coffee to
prepare our snark muscle for action; Malena's spectacular 'bish, please' aimed directly at her
man, (left) and how easy it is to read 'meaning' into candid photos, we've decided to go
with the former.
Iker Casillas, how we love thee and thee's charity work. You made many campers happy this past
Monday when you visited them (and your hometown) in Navalcruz, which is just one of the million
reasons why you'll always be our number #1 'baller of choice.
Except when David Beckham finally comes to his senses and accepts our sleepover invitation.

Yeowzers! Real Madrid's Sami Kedira and his girlfriend Lena Gercke added some heat to the South
of France summer scene with their beach PDA session recently. Is someone feeling the need to one-up
her man's league rival, who was also just on holiday with his genetically-blessed (or surgically
enhanced, as some of our commenters have been suggesting) girlfriend?
Saturday
- Francesco Totti was spotted soaking wet, in a bulge cupper on an Italian beach. Just how God
intended it (PS his wife and kids were there too).
- We gave a warm chorizo welcome to Chelsea's latest transfer signing, Oriol Romeu. Don't be shy
in your hellos, Kickettes, he doesn't bite*.
Pardon our interruption of your normal Monday morning routines, but we have an urgent update
that we couldn't keep to ourselves: Leo Messi & Antonella Roccuzzo are back together.
Although the relationship status of these two has nagged us for a while, we know what you're
thinking: define 'together'.
Not that we should really be the ones calling out crimes of the improper editing kind, but c'mon
now.
Saturday
- A few hotties from Hanover 96 spent their day of rest stroking some sea lions at the zoo.
Wild animals and footballers they get us every time.
- Newly-appointed USMNT manager, Jürgen Klinsmann, has actually made it in America once before.
Who knew and why didn't they share sooner?

Having cheerily assured the footballing world last week that we're happy to accept swimming
garmentage in any format, we're rather chastened to learn that fate has already taken exception to
our over-confidence.
It's not that there is anything inherently wrong with the white .

No need to apologise for the short shorts, Robbie baby. Regardless of size, shape, pattern or
colour, footballers in swim trunks are always good in this hood.
Although yours should've come out more in this video, rather than making their grand entrance
nearly 1 minute and 9 seconds into a +3 minute video.
Hang on a minute Kickettes is that Zlatan Ibrahimovic's beard that Porto striker Falcao has just
retrieved from the ocean floor on Miami Beach?
Nope, Zlats still has his. Whew.
It must belong to Fabio Quagliarella then. He's been looking pretty clean shaven in that area
lately.
Yacht in Porto Rotondo, Sardinia? Check. Neatly trimmed beard, greased down hair and sharply
defined guns of an international playboy? Check. Bored stare into the middle distance as gorgeous
blonde girlfriend smothers one with overly demonstrative expressions of love? Check. Alex Pato,
you have everything an elite player needs to enjoy his pre-season break.

No wonder the dude in the background is depressed. To be following the display of deliciousness
that is Wesley Sneijder, wifey Yolanthe Cabau Van Kasbergen and his son Jessey down a street in St
Tropez is a reminder to us all of the futility and pointlessness of our lives.

Saturday
- Jealous that their team-mates were getting their fair share of physically-bothersome advances
whilst on tour, MCFC's Edin Dzeko and Alecks Kolarov decided it was time to ditch their shirts once
and for all (during their club's beach party in L.
Wowzers!
Here's a photo of Gerard Pique, outside, in Miami, without Shakira attached to his face. We're
sure it's only a momentary lapse, so make the most of it while you can, people.
For days we've watched in disbelief as Ibra's gaggle of groupie friends blocked clear shot after
clear shot of his exposed torso, tiny swim trunks everything!
As you can see, we've been given very little to work with.
Internal Kickette speculation as to why we can't get a better Z-on-holiday snap is rife, and the
consensus is that it's because the 'ballers on breaks Gods have a bone to pick with us about our
latest Finest Five refresh.
