CAMPEONES SPAIN A!!!

Well after many weeks of hard voting, it's official - There is no one hotter than El Capitán. Iker Casillas of Spain A led his troops into battle and annihilated the Rest Of the World Team 5-0 with an average winning score of 75.8%. And winning another major trophy so close to winning Euro 08 led to more scenes of jubilation on the pitch from the Spanish boys.

So thank you all for participating in the inaugural Hottie World Cup. Iker would like to dedicate this trophy to everyone who knew that this was serious.

Stay tuned for more madness coming soon....

Semifinals!

On to the Semis!

The quarterfinals were heated! Check out the results:

Ok well…Spain A dominated Brazil 5-0

But the Germans put in a good fight despite Spain B eventually taking them down 4-1.

ROW proved just a little to strong for Le French winning 3-2

And England made a strong run against Italy B winning 4-1.


The results leave us with two very exciting semi-final matchups!

1. Spain A vs. Spain B
Countryman vs. countryman! Can the legend that is Raul take on Saint Iker and his magical profile? Will Sernando and the Davids ever be the same after facing off in direct competition?

2. ROW vs. England
In the other semifinal, the mixed conglomerate of world hotties will take on England. Roque has been dominant, but how will he stand next to a pair of Golden Balls? Only you can decide.

Voting starts on Thursday 5 March at 12.01 GMT and will close Sunday at 12:01 GMT.

Thank you again for voting and doing your part in beautifying the game. Cantona salutes you.

Quarterfinals!

Well, here are your Round of 16 results:

England defeated Australia 4-1.

Italy B narrowly defeated the USA 3-2.

Rest of the world took down the Netherlands 3-2.

Argentina took the loss against France 3-2.

Spain B thrashed Croatia 5-0.

Germany defeated Sweden 4-1.

Portugal lost to Brazil 3-2.

and lastly, in a much closer than it appeared matchup, Spain A dominated Italy A winning 4-1.

This now gives us our Quarterfinal matchups!

1. England takes on Italy B. Italy B had a narrow win over the USA with just 1% making them the victor. England comfortably defeated Australia, I hope however that this matchup won't be so close and much more exciting!
2. The dominating Spain B takes on Germany. This doesn't seem like such a challenge, but in the HWC, anything can happen.
3. The rest of the world led an easy defeat under the direction of hottie captain Roque Santa Cruz. They face a much tougher task of taking on Thierry Henry and his army of les beaux hommes. Let the battle of pretty begin.
4. Brazil took down Cron and Nuno Gomes but Spain A took down Fabio Cannavaro. I sense a Spain A/Spain B semifinal...

Voting Starts on Saturday at 12:01 AM GMT and will close Tuesday at 12:01 AM GMT.

Support your hotties and again, thanks for participating in our quest to beautify the beautiful game.
