FOXy Ladies

Now that the competitive tension of the 2006 FIFA World Cup is over, I can sit back, relax, and reflect on the real reason soccer (football to everyone in the world but us Yanks - grrrr!) truly is The Beautiful Game: It's the Babes. Don't believe me? Check out FOX Sports' "Babes of the World Cup" site, a one-stop Eye Candy Store for discerning global girl watchers. It even has breakdowns for WAGS (soccer Wives And Girlfriends): Soccer Wives and Girlfriends.
