These Are the 10 Hottest Players on the U.S. World Cup Soccer Team

Soccer players are sexy. It's the constant running and propensity to rip off their shirts after scoring, I guess. Rather than take a look at the U.S. team's chances at the World Cup, let's just take a look at them.

America's national pastime is baseball and our winter obsession is football, but the problem with both of those is that the guys stand around for long periods of time doing nothing but getting fat. Not so with soccer—or football, as the rest of the world calls it. These guys work hard. And they sweat. And then they get naked. And then they rub all over each other. It's almost more than we can handle.

When the action begins for the World Cup in South Africa on June 11, we may tune in for a game or two to root for our boys in blue but, let's be honest, they don't stand a chance. What we're really going to be waiting for is the promise of hot man flesh. Here are our favorite members of the team, in order of preference based on nothing but their appearance. What? We're not above being shallow.
