As you can see from this collection of Panini stickers currently doing the rounds, Alessandro Del Piero has enjoyed a wide variety of hairstyles during his illustrious Juventus career.

“He is tough, it’s a rare man who can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of underwear.”
The fact that the President of the United States is compelled to think about David Beckham’s pants when he meets him makes us feel a little better about our own response towards those ads.

They came. They saw. They scowled.
Four players from the German NT (plus Dennis Aogo, who failed to make the Euro 2012 squad) appear on four different German GQ covers in June: Mario Götze & Dennis Aogo (to be circulated in Northern Germany), Manuel Neuer (East Germany), Bastian Schweinsteiger (South Germany) and Mats Hummels (the luckiest part – West Germany).
Which cover do you hold to the hottest esteem Kickettes?

Blindfolding players is a necessary evil if we want the exact location of Kickette HQ to remain a secret.
We tend to take their pleas for leniency a little more seriously if they help us out in the early stages, though.
