The Beautiful Game

This isn't normally our style, but when an opportunity to use a headline like this comes up, you grab it. Exquisite passing, majestic headers, deft trapping, gorgeous shots on goal... and now there's even more reason to call football the beautiful game with the 2011 Fifa Women's World Cup on in Germany.

So in the spirit of the beautiful game, we bring you the top five Fifa Women's World Cup Hotties, who also totally kick ass on the field.

5. Cecile Pederson of Norway plays in the forward position. May we be so forward as to say she's not too bad at all.

4. Brazilian defender Erika comes next in our brief list. We think her skill in the tackle comes to play in this decision.

3. Lovely Laure Boulleau of the French National team plays midfield with a grace and fluidity that as almost as easy on the eyes as she is.

2. The great frozen tundra of Canada has bequeathed the lovely Ms Jonelle Filigno, whose pacey moves as a forward have us wondering what else she's fast at.

1. This should really come as no surprise. This is, after all, the country that gave us the Swedish bikini team. Josefine Oqvist takes the cake. Oh my.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
