A few weeks ago, Don Balon named their top five hottest Spaniards an effort we wholeheartedly support.

Votes were cast by female journalists and other members of sport media, and the winner's list is to be expected:

nummy with a side of hotsauce.

Iker Casillas took their top spot as "superguapo"; the other selects are included after the jump for your perusal.

Yeah, that's right: we're posting short-tents of professional footy players and asking you to pick a winner. It's what we do.

John Terry is a regular for these types of situations; let's all give him two snaps for that. As for Mr. Cole, it's nice to see him back on the pitch and (quite obviously) in full working order.

Real talk 1: if this is the intense face Nemanja has when walking onto the pitch holding an innocent child's little hand, can you even imagine his other faces? Ahem.

Real talk 2: the hottest robot to play in the Premier League is now the most booked defender in the Premier League.

One thing we've learned about our readers: they are highly attuned to the various body parts (and body-part behaviour) of their favourite players. Whether it's the freckle-counters, the hand-obsessed or the hair-watchers, there is something out there for every footy fan.

We're quite partial to forehead wrinkles and luckily for us, 'ballers and botox just don't go together.

We're going to use Inter manager and quality silver fox Jose Mourinho as our case study for today's Sizzle Query.

Here he is as usual, dapper and stylish, all swarthy and salt & pepper, with a bank balance to make your black AmEx sing through the halls of Selfridges daily.

However.

Twenty-four hours ago, Cesc Fabregas was dealing with a severe case of bedhead and day-beard. Not so for his evening out at Boujis after Arsenal's CL win where he obviously went for the clean-shaven look.

Cesc-appreciators: which do you prefer? We like our former F5er a little rough around the edges, so we're voting bedhead.

It's a fact of life: footballers, mobile phones and denim belong together. They're like champagne and strawberries. Vodka and soda. Martinis and olives. Baileys and breakfast.

Is it drinking time yet?

Sorry, what were we on about? Oh yes, footy players and their favourite uniforms.

Kyle Beckerman is a 27-year-old American midfielder in the MLS with Real Salt Lake.

Wait. We know. His hair. Just hear us out, okay?

We're quite often fans of men in dreads, especially when they have faces constructed out of chiseled jawlines and excellent stubble design like Kyle.

Take a gander at this video of Kyle sans shirt and fully hip dipped at an MLS Lifestyles photo shoot. Not too shabby.

Our Finest Five number 3, Miguel Torres is now a Burger King boy (we're sure you know about his pre-season switch to Getafe that will -hopefully- net him some pitch time.)

We'll admit that we were perfectly content watching our boy and his robust rump ride the Real Madrid bench for many a match and were far more upset by the fact that he has never showed any interest in sharing his Whopper Junior with us.

Check out the Bayern boys and their new Hugo Boss threads. Very posh.

Who do you think is rocking the suit best? We gotta give it to our favourite goof-ball Luca Toni, but think Mario Gomez is looking rather dapper too.

Jose and Leonardo. The one-namers we know and love went head-to-head in a tense fash-clash over the weekend. Inter took home the points, but who won on the sidelines?

Let's pay homage to the Italian fashion capital currently under split ownership and reflect on what was good, what when wrong and why it may be time to pencil in a salon visit.

Sure, logistically players with long hair need to keep their hair out of their eyes.

We recognize that. But we rarely deal in reality. We're here to judge. And when it comes to head bands on boys, you're either a fan or you're not. Which side of the fence are you on?

Mini case study: Dimitar Berbatov (Man Utd).

Kaka reflects on his narrow escape from our claustrophobic clutches. He looks much more relieved to be free than we would like. Image via AP Photo

Have you ever had a vivid dream about a footy player?

Pshht - of course you have.

We can strike Beckham (x5), Iker (x3) Sergio Ramos (x2) and Fernando Torres (x6) off the list for taking part in the evening adventures of our minds.

Real Madrid are enroute to Canada, where they're scheduled to attend an open practice tonight in Toronto. (Friday they will be taking the pitch in a friendly against Toronto FC.)

We're most impressed with the newbies giving a nod to Canadian sunglasses master, Corey Hart. Which black pair do you think covers these guys' roving eyes the best?

Like wine, cheese and string instruments, former-players-turned-coaches just get better with age.

AC Milan's newest club manager/lead stylist Leonardo gives us goose bumps (as do the rest of his ilk -see also: Pep G, Roy Keane).

Not much information is available about this 39-year-old Brazilian so let's just evaluate the most pertinent evidence together, shall we?

The Gunners were out in full force at Boujis this weekend celebrating their 3-0 Emirates cup win over the Rangers. Well done, boys.

As you can see, they brought their denims and matching trainers out for a little flexing in Londontown. As you can also see, the denim choices weren't always successful.

It's a player peroxide fiesta of late, Kickettes. Not sure if the summer heat has literally gone to everyone's heads or what, but let's investigate:

Alan Smith has returned to his former bottle blonde bleached-out avec roots look after a brief dabble in au naturel;

John Arne Riise has gone from ginger to strawberry blond to just plain blonde.

It's a battle of the sun-tanned v the sun-screened today, dear readers.

Whilst many of you may like your vacationing football players gelled and perma-tanned to a lovely hue of caramel, others certainly have a preference for their off-season boys to maintain a fresh-faced, pale tone via an IV of SPF.

Who's got the best city-chic sportswear:

Thierry Henry in NYC or El-Hadji Diouf in Manchester?

We kind of love the OTT fabulocity of Diouf's gold trainers, but think Thierry's got the skater-boi look down to perfection.
