Normally, there would be a photo up alongside the start of this post. After all, the headline suggests some kind of visual. Before you see it, we at UF just felt you, our fair readers, deserved fair warning. I mean, this is usually the stuff for the fine ladies at Kickette.
Vanity Fair‘s cover story for the June issue, which hits newsstands this week, is the World Cup. In fact, what I’ve read of the excerpts show that they’ve done a very good and thorough job of putting things together for South Africa. The essay is by A.A. Gill of the Sunday Times. VF will have a daily blog called “Fair Play” posting from South Africa during the Cup. And they got Annie Leibovitz for the photo shoot. So it should be awesome, right?
Prepare yourselves. Are you sitting down? Then let’s begin.
I happen to know they were Photoshopped. That much hunk couldn't fit in one room.
Where do I begin? Ronaldo looks like The Situation. Seriously. And I hate Drogba even more. But wait, there’s more! I watched the video and saw that there are pics of Pato, Kaka (who stayed demure), Samuel Eto’o, Sully Muntari from Ghana, Michael Ballack, Stankovich and one Landon Donovan. So there’s gonna be a whole chonies spread this month. Want a taste? Well, here you go…
Landon bent over, Kaka modest, Pato looks like an actual adult.
So there you go. If you want to entice your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever to watch the World Cup, here’s the enticement. Actually, in the end, I’m glad VF is treating the World Cup seriously with its writing. And is it really so wrong that they throw in a little beefcake for the ladies (or gay men)? Probably not.
Only 40 days left, folks.
Well, we now know who will be The Sun’s “star” men in the world cup.
WTF, Landon?
And all my friends wonder why I love football as much as I do… ;-) Thanks for the blog ! haha !
Is Landycakes embarrassed that he’s balding?
I wonder how many of these guys had underwear endorsements prior to this photo shoot. I know Ronaldo has Armani, but the rest…I have no clue.
Paging Mountain Wag to the red courtesy phone, please…
OH WHAT THE F**K
Is Landon Donovan farting in that 2nd picture?
Sully Muntari’s hand over his mouth seems to suggest so.
Anyway the real question is, why isn’t Wayne Rooney in the picture?
@Lennon’s Eyebrow: No, he is just being a towelhead to piss off Roberto Mancini.
No Gattuso?
Love me some hairy bears.
/just vomited in my own mouth
@TFA: Roberto Mancini can see through Landon’s charade. He’s more concerned they don’t require separate photographs for blacks and whites.
Worse landycakes photo: this, or the NYT “water fountain” pic?
yes, yes,…its for `our women` that we are ofering tis pictures of mens packages. not because, these pictures make your tictacs all warm and gooey…. just embrace who you are you godless sodomites and wack off to Ronaldo`s nekked torso, just make sure you dribble over the VF mag and not spill some on the magazine with Alex Ferguson on the cover below it.
THAT could be so ackward.
wow . . . something about UF Late Night brings out the idiots.
Andy Gray approved of that post, BBH
I see my dad is commenting on UF again.
Andy Gray now wants to start a rock band called the Godless Sodomites.
Can’t you guys just get along?
/Tno
@LE ahahaha Andy Gray + Band Name jokes are awesome
Goat wins the thread.
Yes, well played Goat…and Goat’s dad
So we started this whole later thing to get good discussions for our evening users, but it has been a bit on the odd side, hasn’t it? Good times!
So you have deliberately been withholding posts all day to cater to weirdos like Roberto Mancini and co.?
Andy Gray thinks it’s been a roaring success.
Andy Gray is Roberto Mancini.

@ben – just reading this story now. Think I would miss it? Except I did throw up a little in my mouth over the cover. Really…I understand the CR angle (although slime bag isn’t my style), but Drogba, really? As much as I dislike Anelka, he’s a better candidate for a scantily-clad cover. No Robben? (he makes balding look hot), no RVP (whose not that attractive, but beats Eto and his so-loose-i-think-he-wants-us-to-imagine-what-isnt-there briefs? Sigh…
