Every two years I get really into soccer. The big soccer competitions run like the Olympics with the World Cup happening every four years and the Euro Cup and the Copa Amé©rica (the South American soccer championship) happening every four years in between. The last World Cup was hosted by Brazil in 2014, which means we are now in the midst of the Euro Cup 2016 (go Germany!) and unless you;
1. live in your city’s version of Little Italy, Portugal, Greektown, etc.
2. are me, or
3. are someone who actually likes soccer,
you probably haven’t really noticed.
If you don’t care about soccer (which is totally understandable when you live in Canada) it’s easy to tune out when people start talking about the latest match, that dive Ronaldo took or the totally insane call the German ref made in the England/Wales game.
To make this month-long event a little easier to digest, we’ve decided to round up five of the best players… in bed. Yup, we’re employing the old fortune cookie trick and adding “in bed” to the conversation (you know, A pleasant surprise is in store for you soon¦ in bed). Things get a lot more interesting when you find out who your favourite player is. Do you look for someone who will defend and protect in bed? Are you in the market for a rebel in bed? Do you root for the underdog in bed?
If you’re stumped for who to cheer for, just cheer for Germany the player you identify with the most using this handy list. (GO GERMANY!)
The noble defender: Manuel Neuer, Goalkeeper for Germany
This guy is agile, composed and incredibly confident. You don’t get called the best goalkeeper in the world for nothing. This guy will defend that box even if it means throwing his whole body into it (which is exactly what we’re hoping he’ll do).
