The TTO: Zinedine Zidane v Luis Figo
Wahey and TGIF: It’s the Thursday Thigh Off.
*cough*
This week we’re exploring the “ballers as alcohol” theory using Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo:
the more they age, the better they get.
Grab a drink and click through for the action.

The TTO is brought to you by ONTD Football
We at ONTD FB are masters of pun as well as lovers of music. It’s not horn-tooting, it’s simple fact. Once in a while, not unlike the wintry-delicious marriage of apple and cinnamon, we combine the two in the great big mixing bowls of our collective creative intellect.
Sometimes, the lyrical results are shocking. Sometimes, they are jaw-dropping. Once in a while, they’re downright dirty. But always, they are groundbreaking. We push the envelope and challenge everything you thought you knew.
With the holidays fast approaching (sorry, Scroogies, but we don’t know what’s not to love about $ALE$, copious amounts of booze, home-cooked feasts and Ella Fitzgerald Wishes You A Swinging Christmas), we think it’s time:
Thigh, meet holiday carol. Carol, meet thigh. It’s a Thigh-filled Wonderland.
Players run,
Are you drooling?
On the pitch,
Thighs are glistening,
A beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight,
These legs need to be inspected by hand.
ZINEDINE ZIDANE
Zinedine Zi-do-me is a retired French footballer. He has, amongst other things: adorable kids, dual citizenship, three FIFA World Player of the Year awards, and a place in history as “that headbutter dude”.

LUIS FIGO
Luís Figo, at a tender 36, is the same age as Glenfarclas Scotch Whisky. He’s played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona (!!!) and he currently mans the wing at Inter. What we find most interesting, though, is his ascension to the throne as Bulge King ’08.
If pictures say a thousand words…Welcome to the thighbrary. Good luck and happy voting!

Congrats to last week’s winner, Paolo Maldini, who claimed a tight, flexed battle against Javier Zanetti. Javi, you put up a good fight. Be proud.
I'll go for Figo on this one…
Figo.
Kate. You astonish me. I love you. My vote goes to Zizou!
FIG-OHH!
its a toughy, but im going to have to go Figo.
Oh, mon Zizou…
Who has a coin? I agree with Dream girl overall package Zizou; thighs and Buldge Figo
zidane!

Zinedine for sure!!
As much as I love Zindane and hate Portugal players in general, I must vote Figo.
Zizou forever!
it was a bit hard to pick but Zizou gets my vote.
FIGO please
The Portugal star was involved in a bitter move between the two clubs that saw him become one of the most hated men in Catalonia.
He explained his mistake today and said that he never wanted to leave Barcelona when he did.
Luis Figo is one of the most recognisable faces in football. To quote the late Inter president Giacinto Facchetti, the Portuguese star is “a player who has written the most important pages of European and world football in recent years”.

No argument here that Figo is hot but he loses points for that alleged cat killing – sorry but I’m an animal lover. Zidane takes all!!!
ZIZOU!!!!!!!!!ZIZOU!!!!ZIZOU!!!
You know, I find them both hot, really hot. But I think Zidane is just…he can take me to a hotel room any day and I want his babies.
Figo, and I adore Zizou’s thighs…I adore Zizou in general.
keyword: husband61! ha!
Zidane is the MAN!
Zinedine “Zizou” Zidane is the hottest man around the world.
FIGO!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant say he’s one of my fave Portuguese players but Ill still go with Figo.
Wow. This is a tough one!!! I love Zidane but…
I really can’t choose right now. I’m going to go with…no. I’ll come up with a decision later.
But, for those of you that love good footballer fathers, or love Zizou, there is this really sweet video of him playing soccer with his 3 sons. It’s honestly one of the cutest videos I’ve seen involving any player- or even anyone.
Don’t know how old/seen already it is…but still:

Zizou!! Figo is way too hairy anyway…
uhm neither are very impressive but im gonna have to go with zidane… figos too hairy..
Zidane FTW!!
Zizou
Zidane =]
Zidane
Figo for me
Oh this is a toughy – after some pondering – Figo
Figo
I think Zizou is super but when it comes to thighs, Figo wins, no contest! So Figo ftw! And we miss you, by the way. :/
Zidane gets my vote, even though every single time I type his name, I write "Zidance".
Um….Owen Hargreaves?lose that girl blog
Zizou gets it for the less scarily hairy legs.
Figo
Figo
On thigh value alone probably Figo. But as the whole package I prefer Zizou.
OH FIGO. He gets my vote. Zizou, is indeed delish and he’s all those things you mentioned… however, as a fan of him and a diehard Italian fan, I choose to pretend that headbutt never happened. I’d have it mind-wiped if I could.
I knew Javi wouldn’t win, but I’m sad. Maybe he can make a comeback against someone less… epic.
Zidane For Me
Loved The Song Lol !!
