The Finest Five 4.0: Game On
David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Freddie Ljungberg, Thierry Henry, Adrian Mutu
For those unfamiliar, the above gentlemen had the distinguished honour of being on our first Finest Five list. Oh yes, in 2007, these were the “most wanted” at Kickette Towers. Not too shabby, huh?
As time passed, hairlines receded, beards grew, and most of these men moved on over to the less volatile, more distinguished, Hot Hall of Fame list.
(For those unfamiliar, the Finest Five is an ‘of the moment’ list. The Hot HOF is a permanent placement; a recognition of life-long beauty. The F5 is ever-changing, depending on our mood, or a man’s commitment (or not) to base layers.)
But enough about the past. We’ve been harping on about revising the F5 List for some time, and we’re sure some of you lost hope that it would come to fruition. Well today is the day, dear readers. And this time around, we’re doing things differently. We’re involving you.
Get your Harrods sale elbows at the ready, Kickettes. This could get messy.
We’ve not gone totally insane, mind you: we have created an edited short-list of teneleven, (we changed our minds) of our current top crushes. You decide which five get the prize. This is a lot of trust we’re handing over to you, girls (and some boys). Make us proud.
- We’ll be starting later today, posting one dynamic duo a day for the next five days for you to vote on.
- Voting will be open until 5am GMT/Midnight EST on Friday, 23 April.
- Only one of the footballers in each offered pairing will be included in the Finest Five 4.0 list. You are responsible for which one makes the cut. We know you will make good choices, dear readers.
- The new Finest Five list will be revealed on Monday the 26th.

But i think its time Iker went onto the HOT H.O.F List!!! I mean he has been on the fab 5 list for quite some time.
1. Sergio Ramos
2. Cristiano Ronaldo
3. Ezequiel Garay
4. Roque Santacruz
5. Yoan Gourcuff/Xabi Alonso/Theo Walcott
1. IKER CASILLAS
2. Xabi Alonso

Yoann
Iker

Yoann
VIDIC VIDIC VIDIC VIDIC VIDIC VIDIC VIDIC!
SECOUND HOT LIS Marco Borriello
Adrian Mutu
Jesus Navas
Kaka
Karim Benzema
ok, didn’t know where else to post the vid, but as kun, kaka, and sergio are in it and are all hot, i figured this would be as good a place as any! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Z-KuCUn9A
PLS CRISTIANO RONADO
YOANN GOURCUFF
IKER CASSILAS
DAVID BECKHAM
ROQUE SANTA CRUZ
yoann for all 5 spots!!!
sergio ramos
karim benzema (i’m in shock nobody put him on their list!!)
casillas
ibra
torres
Iker won’t be in either the F5 or the Hot HOF.
now that would be a shame , for he really is a fine piece of meat
1. Gonzalo Higuain(i’ m deeply in love with this guy)
2. Sergio Ramos
3.Rafa Van der Vaart
4.Cesc
5.David Villa
ibra ….. ibra ……. ibra <3 <3
1. Iker Casillas
2. Gonzalo Higuain
3. Esteban Granero
4. Fernando Gago
5. David Villa
el pirata, yummmmmm. he's number 6 for me
OMW…how can you guys forget about little itty bitty David Silva?
1. Marco Boriello
2. Yoann Gourcuff
3. Xabi Alonso
4. Cesc Fabregas
5. Iker Casillas
There's so much more but they won't fit! =[ Please make sure Yoann's in the list he's so yummy!
Its got to be Nando – forget the rest!!!
1. Cristiano Ronaldo: like him or not, you can’t deny his hotness
2. Fernando Torres: just plain beautiful
3. Sergio Ramos: always reminds me of Lady Gaga’s “Dirty, Sexy, Rich”
4. Kaka: so sweet
5. It’s a toss up: Cesc, Xabi, or David Villa
Oooh Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves as well…OMG such a toughie. ahhh Van Persie too and Bojan.
*Maybe Cristiano should make the Hot H.O.F?!
*And if it were possible, the whole Spanish NT should make the list as one because clearly, it is filled with MANY gorgeous men.
1. Marco Borriello – all day, every day. Will always be #1 for me…
2. Cesc Fabregas
3. Iker Casillas
beyond these three, I can go for any one of these fine ass men:
Thierry Henry
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Raul Albiol
Steven Gerrard
Fernando Torres
Roque Santa Cruz
Claudio Marchisio
It’s time for Fernando to make this list. He has been passed over time and time again, unjustly, for a position that I would argue is his birthright. I don’t care who else is in the F5, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give Fernando a chance. He will not disappoint, I have faith in the Nandettes.
I need my Cesc…and an F5 spot could be the only thing he wins this year :'(
1. Cesc
2. Yoann
3. Fernando Torres
4. Iker
5. Vermaelen. Or maybe Aaron. Or Cesc again.
I like the HOT H.O.F. as it is…Freddie, Titi, Becks and the Italian combo plate of Canna and Maldini is fine..
But…Iker ready for H.O.F. just yet? Someday..maybe even someday soon but not just yet.
1. Iker Casillas
2. Cesc Fabgregas….ok…not conventionally handsome but soooo cute…and I can’t help it; I’m a Gooner so sue me…
3. Robin Van Persie…see reason number 2…
4. Alan Smith…he’s a bad boy. Don’t all of us girls (and some boys) all love a bad boy at some point in our lives??
5. C.Ron…*shrugs* No denying the perfection of that body…yes, he’s arrogant, yes, he sometimes dresses bad but he’s always entertaining and he’s not hard on the eyes regardless of whether or not you’re enjoying his lovely footy skills or just enjoying the view.
Cesc Fabregas has to be in the top 5… along with becks… jaime redknapp…rosiky (ahh) and denilson
xx
1. Yoann Gourcuff

To speak truth, Yoann and Nando was more special for me. Seems they're so 2008 or something like that buuuuutt they're always in my list

Five is not enough spots…unless you want to go ahead and just give one space to the Spanish National Team…then it might work (might)

OMG! I feel sooo bad for forgetting Xavi
I truly WUV him 
Although he's not really 'handsome' in the usual sense..
yeah….agree with you. well, he’s no lashes…..but, there’s something else i can’t really pinpoint abt him.
wow, i thought i was the only one who had a kind of "thing" for xavi. he's a def top 10 for me. i just can't figure out what is so attractive about him…
WOW! I mean WOW! Thank you Nia for bringing us out of the Xavi closet
I’d argue SenoraRamos that Xavi’s appeal is more that we know he’s a VERY good player and yet so humble 
Awww Xavi, I know he’ll never be Finest Five BUT we WUV him still
Wow. I´m not the only girl who has a soft spot for Xavi. As you said there`s something about him i can´t even discribe. Let´s say he´s got a special aura. My sister just told me she thinks that he looks twisty.
Bahhh what a philistine!!!! We should also vote Bojan into the F5. He´s just so adorable.
haaa, that’s the word i’m looking for…..soft spot! i defo have soft spot for xavi!!!

– girl-lobbying-for-Villa-to-be-part-of-the-Finest-Five.
LOL
he's included in my list below. perhaps the pic of he and his bubbas will get some girls thinking straight!!
Yey! Let's get this going SenoraRamos
Movement to put the hotness that is David Viya in his rightful place – Finest Five! Wohhhoooooo!! 
We are open to recruits!!! 
What do you think should we name this operation? LOL
OBF
or OSP
exhibit numero uno : http://ngerumpi.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/david…

Haha I like that photo much, was thinking same thing for you 'Operation Soul Patch'
Hahaha
I can feel the dedication SenoraRamos 
I'd like to share my fave photos of his venerable bitchface/soulpatch too but can't find the darn link haha 
Thank you!
Can't wait for the list
Keeping my fingers crossed to have Viya on the list
I think Operation: Soul Patch is good
I feel the Viya love all over 
OBS it is ladies!!

http://img.mynet.com/spr/DavidVilla2.jpg
Thats a very sexy picture of David!!! His eyes look beautiful!!!
one more b/c i can’t help myself: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PcfOowXfITA/SesHvCGmvoI/AAAAAAAAPLs/M-OjdffQK4o/s400/o_valencia_david_villa-48866.jpg
My only two wishes for the F5 is that Iker stays in the list (I don't care which spot as long as he is on the list) and that Marco Borriello gets a spot too.
Thank you,
Love Molly-Anna!!!
PS. I think that Alessandro Del Piero should be put in the Hot HOF. I just noticed he wasn't in there and I think it is a shame lol
!!!!
Got a feeling that the Pasta baggage will do what Iker's bad clothes never did – and him ousted completley!
And Kickette, begining to think that you are trying to sway the vote with you highlighting Iker's bad clothes last week – and showing us Yoann's obvious attribute the week before – has there been a change of heart from the boss lady perhaps!??!!!!
or Iker on his way to HOT H.O.F!!!!!!!!!! Agree that Yoann should be on list
I wouldn't mind Iker being in HOT HOF as long is he is in one of the list and I think Yoann should get a spot too… *Marco Borriello* LOL!!!
Stupid Pasta…*Cries* lol!!
LOL hehe, maybe he will dump her when he finds out she is part of the reason he might not be in F5
Lol, good point MrsNesta. I hope he will dump her as soon as he recognizes that he has hurt our feelings.
It´s time for a black cat operation. How did you call it as a short cut and what did it mean?
OBC – Operation Black Cat, Pastaface doesn't like black cats so we thought about going to Madrid armed with black cats

xX
GERARD PIQUE !
agree he deserve to be the top1
Call to arms for all you Yoann supporters! Here is our chance!
thea, you know that hotness will be on the list. i wonder if we vote for him on all days if he’ll be #1?!
Good plan Ramos – we have to lift this man on to his rightful throne! Tactical voting on the othes also will play a part!
and by others you mean mainly nando correct? lol! that's the only competition i see yoann having (though not from me)
reporting for duty, ms. thea
