If a picture paints a thousand words one can only imagine just how much power the image below generates. The woman you see carrying a vast quantity of Beer is of course super hot WAG Sarah Brandner who is German international Bastian Schweinsteiger's other, and better looking, half. During Euro 2008 she was pictured carrying two pints of lager and that image quickly burned its way into the retinas of most football loving fans across the world.

Not quite sure how we got to 30 WAGs without finding room for Bastian Schweinsteiger's supermodel girlfriend, but she can't escape our entirely non-pervy gaze for a second longer...

En la Eurocopa la chica de la cerveza se hizo mas que famosa por su belleza, resulto que era la novia de Bastian Schweinsteiger futbolista aleman, que por cierto fue uno de los mejores en la copa mundial Sudafrica 2010.

The best player to pull on an England World Cup shirt? In case you were wondering how much a match worn England World Cup shirt is worth in Germany at the minute, the answer is not very much. Bastian Schweinsteiger got his hands on Frank Lampard's shirt after Germany's last-16 victory over England (a special gift [.

Uruguay – Zaira Nara

If Diego Forlan does join Spurs, Zaira Nara will be a welcome addition to our WAG ranks.

FIFA.com has revealed the eleven players who earned a spot on the 2010 FIFA World Cup All Star team. The team was voted for by FIFA Club members, which consists of fans from around the world. To no one's surprise, Spain made up most of the starting eleven, with six players occupying spots.

If football is more to you than WAGS and boots, then get on over to this article on tactics written on an Arsenal blog. The post states that what has become oblivious from the recent World Cup in South Africa and club football for the past few years is that the use of two holding midfielders in front of the back four is become crucial in the modern game.

Another week brings us a new WAG from the SI Swimsuit Edition. This weeks WAG is Sarah Brandner, the girlfriend of Germany and FC Bayern midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger...

Now this is the one all of you were waiting for, we all remember seeing Sarah in the stands during the Euro 2008 competition.

Following on the heels of our look at German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, we present you his "discovered on the street" model girlfriend Sarah Brander.

Schweini has been in excellent form since the 5'10″ blond came along (ending his streak of 5 girlfriends in a year and a half), and has actually given her some credit for his current class.

This UK advert for EA Sports features the likes of Wayne Rooney, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Jose Bosingwa and Karim Benzema. Rooney with his British football swagger really stands out in the commercial for me - I can picture him as some badass thug in a Guy Ritchie gangsta flick. The spot also mixes real soccer action with clips from the video game, in fact the graphics are so impressive I actually preferred them over the real thing.

There are plenty of World Cup best XIs floating around. Mr. David Beckham did one just before the final, and we did two ourselves, split between semi-finalists and non-semi-finalists.

There's only one XI that goes in the history books though, and that's the FIFA one. The FIFA World Cup All-Star Team was decided by the votes of FIFA.

Unhand me, you Schweini Bundesliga sex pest Bastian Schweinsteiger might want to consider ditching the incriminating red gloves next time he attempts to touch-up a team-mate in front of the TV cameras. The Bayern Munich midfielder was quite literally caught red-handed having a crafty squeeze of Little Tommy Muller.

Sports Illustrated Magazine recently released some candid photographs of four beautiful soccer WAGS who were bodypainted wearing the national colors of their respective countries.

The girls modeled include Bethany Dempsey (wife of US international Clint Dempsey), Melissa Satta (girlfriend of Christian Vieri), Sarah Brandner (girlfriend of Bastian Schweinsteiger) and Abbey Clancy (fiance of Peter Crouch).

1. That was absolutely atrocious. Venting your anger might help, but it was so poor that I'm struggling to find the enthusiasm to remind you all how bad it was. 2. A heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat would have been absolute heaven, it really would. 3. Surely Sepp Blatter must be sparked into life by embarrassment by Frank [.

Highlights Argentina 0-4 Germany 1. Now we can safely assume that Diego Maradona actually knows Thomas Mueller is not a ball boy. 2. England are better than Argentina. The evidence is conclusive... 3. There wasn't too much hype surrounding Bastian Schweinsteiger before the tournament, but if you were asked to pick the best player in the world based [.

Louis van Gaal has guided the German club to the Champions League final and back to the top of the Bundesliga. A 3-1 win last week against Bochum, four days after beating Lyon 3-0 in the Champions League semifinals, means Bayern will reclaim the German league title.

The trials and tribulations of this ‘New Germany' at the World Cup so far have been nothing short of surprising. In a similar fashion to the past two tournaments, they entered the fray as a team that had been written off and not expected to progress deep into the latter stages of the competition.

FIFPro (the global footballers' union) and FIFA today announced the 55 players shortlisted for the FIFA-FIPro World XI 2010. Rather than choose the best 55 players, on form this year, it appears they have chosen the most famous players, the ones with the biggest names, the ones with the biggest marketing clout, the ones who play for the biggest clubs.

With US International star Landon Donovan set to arrive this week at Everton on a 10 week loan from the LA Galaxy, footy fans on both side of the pond are asking: Will Donovan finally prove himself in Europe? To answer that question we thought it would be helpful to take a look at Landycakes' past Euro-tours, and analyze what might be different this time:

Tour #1) In 1999, Donovan joins Bayer Leverkusen at the ripe age of 17, turning down training offers from Manchester United and Arsenal.

Today *today* *today*... I consider myself *myself* *myself*... Germany captain Michal Ballack has been ruled out of the World Cup after injuring his ankle in Chelsea's FA Cup final win over Portsmouth. The German Football Federation (DFB) said Ballack underwent a scan on Monday which showed that he had partially torn a ligament in his right leg.

Jogi Low announced that Bayern right back Phillipp Lahm would take over as German captain with Bayern team mate Bastian Schweinsteiger his deputy.

Low explained his decision to choose Lahm over Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose. He went with Lahm's more cerebral demeanour.

"He expresses his opinion clearly and precisely to his circle in the team.

The Chelsea Daily Drivel is a daily update of all the stories concerning our club, the rumours, the opinions and more....
So here is the latest from around the web on Wednesday 9th June 2010 including: Ballack, Joe Cole, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Andrew Driver.

We heard during the Germany Australia televised game earlier this week, that Germany's talented midfielder, 25 year-old Bastian Schweinsteiger, was unsettled at Bayern Munich, and that it wasn't clear that Bastion would be playing there next season. Bastian Schweinsteiger loan deal to Newcastle possible?

You know that saying, something like, you don't see a bus for hours then three or four go by at once....

Well I have a feeling that Arsenal's new signings could be just like that, we haven't seen one in years, but this summer three or four will come in at one time....

So why none yet?

World Cup

Paul the Octopus, who has a 100% record so far for the 2010 World Cup, has picked Spain to win the Final. (You can see the video below. Don't look into his eyes)

The Golden Ball nominees have been announced: Diego Forlan (URU), Asamoah Gyan (GHA), Andres Iniesta (ESP), Lionel Messi (ARG), Mesut Oezil (GER), Arjen Robben (NED), Bastian Schweinsteiger (GER), Wesley Sneijder (NED), David Villa (ESP), Xavi (ESP).

We saw David Beckham looking very coach-like on the England bench at World Cup 2010. There was even a (made up) rumour that Beckham would be replacing Fabio Capello as England manager after the team's World Cup exit. That rumour seemed to mysteriously disappear the second Argentina exited the tournament and proved that inexperienced coaches are probably not the way to go.
