Style Off: Tim Hoogland vs Gigi Buffon

Allow us to pre-empt today’s fash reportage with a disclaimer: plaid rhymes with mad, which is exactly how the pattern makes us feel. Because of this unwavering truth, we’re obviously hating on both of these looks hardcore. But, since it’s a slow news day, we must take what we’re given.
So people, which player in plaid do you prefer: Stuttgart’s latest signing, Tim Hoogland, or Italian NT/Juventus keeper, Gigi Buffon?
Idle threat: the day Tim wins this contest will be the day we start calling Ronaldinho attractive. And dear readers, you do not want that day to come in your lifetime.


very blog thanks admin
A Swabian against the god of goalkeepers (and god of male beauty?) !?!?!
You're kidding me!
Buffon = wins the Mister Universe Contest without competition, even when wearing a garbage bag.
Only male human being allowed to wear what he wants – makes even Bobby Pins look sexy, when every other man looks gay with them.
I'm such a Gigi-Fangirl, lol…*sighs*…but…BUT…it's SAN GIGI !!!
I love Gigi, and I love seeing his arms, but I can't stand those short-sleeve button-down shirts. there's something inherently wrong.
[...] Bad plaid has ladies mad and fans of Gigi so so sad. // Kickette [...]
There is something about Gigi that makes me melt inside… I think its his eyes.
Buffon. C'mon, gals. It's not even a contest. Boxing authorities would call it off for being too unfair.
Gigi wins all the awards for everything, all day, every day, so any contest between Gigi and any other human is futile and meaningless.
Love it!
this is the most perfect response. Gigi can work anything, including that questionable plaid. Amore della mia vita.
I mean, the man makes BOBBY PINS look good. Come on now.
Gigi is cool! Even in plaid. And with hairclips. And singing with his eyes closed
It was emotional to see him singing the national anthem. You could tell how much emotion he has for his country.
Gigi makes plaid look good!
My vote is with Buffon and for the record, I think plaid is just wrong too. (Love your rhyme
GIGI looks good whatever he wears *.*
am totally behind Tim Hoogland though Buffon also looked cute.
