Best Gimp Walk II: David Beckham v. Ashley Cole

Nursing an injury can be quite a chore. We wouldn’t know, of course, because we’re too busy wallowing in our Celine Dion sorrows to keep up with the status of two of England’s top players’ World Cup stampy-making injuries. So, what’s a Kickette to do other than critique which bum leg is best?

Sadly, it seems, both David Beckham and Ashley Cole’s style selections took a nose dive along with their health… are we at the stage where even Cruz Beckham could dress better than either contender? No. But it could happen.

Daddy David chose to dress down, relying on his go-to hobo hotness topped with a tea cozy hat to help him win out; Ashley, who’s never been known to be a fashion plate himself, played it smart in his Chelsea FC training gear.

Readers, help us get us out of our rut and speak your piece: which England player personifies crutches-chic?

Side note: We understand how difficult this gimp walk competition can be since neither man went for the adorkable Joe Cole “I’m injured with one slipper” choice of pity attire.

Remember to take deep breaths, a swig of Irish Coffee and have a look at David playing rubber duckie with James Corden in the tub before choosing wisely. If only Ashley Cole’s song with Fifty Cent was available for their listening pleasure. Next time.

Guitar Heroes: Tomáš Rosický and Mario Gómez

What is it about guys serenading their sweetheart with guitar strings? In Tomas Rosicky’s case, it’s truly amazing what this instrument can do for a man.

Actually, who are we kidding? He looks like the poor man’s version of Keith Urban’s half-brother’s step-child.

On the flip side, we wouldn’t turn Mario Gomez away if he tried to sing us sweet nothings while we slept.  If Tomas is the surrogate sibling no one ever knew existed, then Mario is the rich man’s version of … well, a rich man playing a guitar. And we bet he plays a kick-ass version of Joan Jhett’s “I love Rock and Roll”.

Through The Years: David Beckham Bromances

Some say David + Iker - Victoria = True Love. We say his return to Milan has reignited his interest in Marco Borriello much to the delight of our fangirl impulses.  Watching David and Marco flirt shamelessly through all of their matches gets our pulses racing the same way he and original love, Gary Neville, did in the late ’90s.

In honor of his return to Old Trafford tonight for the second leg of  the Milan v. Manchester United Champions League tie, we’re taking a trip down manlove memory lane. With each of his European teams, David’s had a hard time keeping his hands and heart to himself. Why don’t you join us in thinking fondly back to Beckham’s best bromantic moves?

We have to tread lightly as any thinly-veiled hints will immediately reveal this beautiful-’baller-to-be’s baby identity. However, we can provide two sub-clues:

1. He’s not an EPL player

2. He’s a front-row fashion whore

Can you name this 1980s babybitcher?

When you’re too stumped/lazy to keep guessing, pay a visit to our good friends at Ciacha to find out who this pretty-faced player is.
