According to Behind The Badge, D.C. United coach Tom Soehn "has removed his name from consideration for the club's head coaching position". The short-shorts enthusiast joins TFC's Chris Cummins as the first occupants of the 2009 off-season coaching carousel; perhaps if they sit close enough together they can share some reading materials amongst one another.

Joe Cole - breathing out of mouth and wearing short shorts, as usual
Joe Cole is fit again - which means that not only are his extra short shorts back on the playing field, but his brilliant creativity and Benayoun-like awareness in close spaces is on display as well in the Chelsea attack. Click to continue reading...

We are seeking inspiration, and thus, have decided to trawl through our happy-place photo files to find some of our favourite quadly moments.

This week and next, we plan on showcasing a few of the moments that made us who we are as people thigh-collectors.

Yoann Gourcuff visits a children's hospital in Ploemeur (good) but his leather jacket looks like pleather (bad). But he's hot. Thus, his placement within the good week section.

GOOD WEEK

Bitchfaces and cut-eyes
King of the side-eye, David Villa brought a new twist to his usual gaze of steel: the condescending shoulder tap.

Thierry Henry takes a stroll in Barcelona yesterday with his mum and girlfriend Andrea.

Joe Cole came over all emo when he returned to play for Chelsea. Bless.
Horrible: Everton's Phil Jagielka was robbed at knifepoint.

Best way to heal the CL early-round loss wounds? With Thursday Thigh-Off bragging rights, of course.

The Kickette rules are simple: we are the referees, and the only calls to be made are red-cards for lacklustre mid-leg muscles.

Top or bottom, let's show some love to our Scottish friends from Celtic and allow their legs to do the talking.

This coming season promises to be the most exciting in years. Of course, every coming season promises to be the most exciting in years. This is one of the many truisms of English Football. Last season we gaped open mouthed as Manchester City clumsily wooed Global Franchise Entities with the promise of dreams and Ferrero Rocher.

Goalkeepers are an unfashionable lot. Take a wander around your local park, find the nearest youthful game of football being hastily organised and see how many kids are actively volunteering to go in goal. Unless you live near some kind of FA approved goalkeepers academy (this must exist, surely), you wouldn't find that many. Click to continue reading...

Well hello there.

I see you've caught me preparing for the upcoming season. In my short-shorts. But before we get to the smooth-legged sexiness going on below my belt line, first allow me to introduce my personal trainer Fake Bojan. And now that we're all intimately acquainted and hopefully soon to be even more intimately acquainted ha-HA!

We're mid-way through the week, Kickettes. Rejoice. Celebrate. The weekend is closer than it was two days ago.

To help you relax on this lovely Wednesday, please enjoy Cristiano Ronaldo's well-displayed muscular groupings. Sure, his love life choices make us itch, his public rub downs make some uncomfortable and he matches his Gucci belt, shoes and manbag to his Gucci hummer, but like we've always said, the bod is second to none.

The England boys were out training yesterday prepping for the game against Andorra today (come on, Engerland!)

As you can see, BFF's Frank Lampard and John Terry decided to express themselves through their sock heights. Shall we analyse?

John Terry's decision to wear thigh-highs: initially one would assume he is taking the role of seducer in this relationship.

If we look back to a summer ago, we'll remember a crutch-ed Cristiano Ronaldo walking around in short shorts and fluttering his silky eyebrows at Real Madrid. Every opportunity he got to say something, he'd drop a little hint about his future. He'd say it was "his dream" to play for Madrid and even before he got injured he said:

"I like a white kit.

Apparently Ronaldinho likes short shorts. This photo was taken during Milan's 3-1 UEFA Cup win over FC Zurich yesterday. Good win for Milan (finally) but not a happy day for 'Dinho. He started on the bench and didn't come on until the 75th minute with Milan 3-0 up. Zurich scored three minutes later. (AP Photo/Alberto Pellaschiar) Click to continue reading...
