If there’s one thing we can take from International friendlies, it’s the opportunity to become acquainted with some hot new faces that we may otherwise not notice. Thank you, FIFA.
Stemming from our call-for-USMNT arms and legs, today we’ve got defender Eric Lichaj (prn. Leehigh) to pass around for inspection. This tall, dark, farmer’s tanned man currently plays his club football with Leeds United, on loan from Aston Villa since earlier this year. Capped by the USMNT three times, we’ve got hope that this midwestern cutie sees his fair share of future chances since we can never resist a good pair of deep-set eyes and bulging calf muscles.

Why the heck not, right Kickettes?
And what do we have here, USMNT captain Carlos Bocanegra? Our guess is a flash mob for the ‘Men with Dubious Taste In Shirts’ Facebook Group. Image Source: Facebook.

The Kickette Army tipsters were out in full force this weekend, and we’re ever grateful for the amount of real news items you all provided. Without your priceless assistance, we’d be pulling the goose feathers out of our duvet lairs one by one as we scrambled for stories.

- It was actually late Friday but we couldn’t resist sharing this pic of West Ham’s Carlton Cole chillaxing with his teammates, go carting and…clay shooting? Everyday we thank our lucky stilettos for the ‘ballers who willingly share their private moments on Twitter with the world.

Landon? While we seriously appreciate a sneaky glimpse at your epic hip dips during a stroll near the beach in Sydney, there’s a price for our pleasure: their proximity to your hideous shorts. We only deal in freebies, if you don’t mind. Image: PacificCoastNews.com via Zimbio.
UPDATE: Landon’s response to this is all kinds of brill. He’s also got a new commercial out for The Wild Soccer Bunch. But, sadly, he keeps his shirt on.
