Double Up: Julio Santa Cruz
Oh, we were thrilled with the initial news, we were.
We didn’t even know Roque Santa Cruz had a younger brother and then we discover 18-year-old Julio in the headlines, signing for Blackburn. We had visions. Visions on a grand and global scale.
Alas, it would seem although the footballing talent runs in the family, Roque seems to have inherited the majority of the hawt-dayum variety of genes in the pool.
Your thoughts on the second Santa Cruz, Kickettes? Double the fun or Deeply disappointing? We’d like to withhold full judgment until we’ve seen young Julio in action and in a better photograph.
Link: Rovers Welcome a Second Santa Cruz
A friend of mine had a theory that when one sibling is great looking, the others suffer the consequences.
he’s ok, i guess…. but disappointing
It's really too much to expect that Mr. and Mrs. Santa Cruz could do an amazing double. Sorry, but Julio looks like he will always be the homely little brother. Can he play a bit?
He's just a baby- too hard to tell whether he'll grow up to approach his brother or not. Both on the field and off it.
welcome Dreamgirl…and I am waiting for a better picture. I have hopes and look he has dimples
I agree that the younger Santa Cruz might need a few more years until he can be as pretty as his older brother. Still, I find it amusing that there is now a pair of brothers on the same Premier League team.

LMAO diziet. that’s true. i think i’ll hold off judgment until better pics are obtained!
hmmm, i'm not seeing much lust potential here but he could be a late developer. to be fair, though, i'm not sure it is really possible to compare a half-formed teenager with a grown man in the full throbbing prime of his hotness…

Ha! I had the same surprise. I posted this photo on the SBA thread last night…I know, he's not spanish, but they were still awake…and expressed my surprise that little SC did not win that family's genetic lottery. Again, I'm not saying he's ugly, just that he's not in the same league as Roque. I know, he's young, but that can only change so much!
Maybe we need to wait for him to grow into his hotness? Iker’s younger brother seems to suffering from the same affliction o.O
My thoughts on Julio are the same as those on Roque: Meh, I’ll pass, thanks.
Looks like a good, decent little boy. Definitely not in the same league as dear Roque though
the pic on the right's not too shabby
Im hoping its just a bad picture kickette haha
We need a better photograph! I'm willing to give him a second chance even though the one we have seems to show his features clearly . . .
He's 18. I think he'll be cute, possibly even hot enough in a few years. Different than Roque, but all the better – he needs to get out of his brother's shadow.
Lol Diziet 'full throbbing prime of his hotness' Sorry I can't think of anything original after that!
Eww, no!! Lets hope he does grow into his face.
Genevieve, the pix on the right is Roque…Julio is on the left…poor boy…must be tough having a HOT brother..he looks like the sweet little brother who prefers to stay in the background…bless him!
Awww bless. He's still young so we'll have to just give him time.
Wow. He's just like his brother – he looks different in every single photo he takes. He's not bad, but I agree with Erin – not the same as Roque.
Im all exited. This is my first commnet ever. Im not a big fan of Roque anyway but they both look friendly. Julio could possibly be on the ‘sweet’ rather that ‘hot’ list.
The pic on the right’s okay… judgement withheld until better photos but the outlook is optimistic…
Yeah I know it’s Roque – hence judgement withheld and outlook being optimistic for Julio to grow into his brother’s level of hotness
I think the hotness ship has sailed and he isn’t on it. Poor lad, maybe he will grow hotter as he grows older?
Yeah, I think Roque hoarded all the hot genes before Cruz 2 was even a glimmer in the eye!
Lol Diziet ‘full throbbing prime of his hotness’ Sorry I can’t think of anything original after that!
Eww, no!! Lets hope he does grow into his face.
Hmmm he need to grow into his face (and his ears) a bit but you never can tell!!!
