Beautiful Players of The Beautiful Game

Football is the most popular sport in the world. One of the reason is because it’s simplicity makes everybody can enjoy and/or play it. Football breaks any kind of boundaries such as age, social class, race, religion, and even gender and sexuality. Yes, gender and sexuality…. Well, for a guy like me, the question is, “why do women like to watch football?”. I’m sure that most men will agree that the answer is because they like to watch the players, NOT from their technique or skill or for what team they play for, but from how do they look. Need a proof? Check out Exhibit A below and see how he has influenced the euphoria in Indonesian football, especially for girls.

Yeah, that’s one reason and ONE evidence why women or girls like to watch football, men’s football.

But hey,,, why don’t we guys do the same thing as a reason to watch women’s football. The fact is, just like men’s football, women’s football has its own good-looking players. If girls like to watch Bachdim, Villa, Cesc or any other handsome players,, well.. surely, women’s football also has it!
