Around SBN: An Explanation For Some Of The Perplexing HOF Snubs

All Man-Crush XI

I am very confident in my heterosexuality.  I like girls.  But there are certain players who...well...I have a crush on.  Some strictly skills wise, others who I do find attractive, sort of.  But I came up with this idea from the disturbing parts of my mind. 

I did realize that I have at least one player to play a full XI.  So in a 4-2-3-1 formation, here is my Man-Crush team!

GK-Tim Howard

Being born in the United States means that I am a USMNT supporter.  The amount of times that Timmy has saved the team is worth a man crush alone.  This Tweet from Aaron says it all.

Star-divide

Left Back-Gareth Bale

I don't particularly like Spurs, but yeah, he's quite good.

Center Backs-James Collins & Alex

Ever since Alex scored that insane free kick in the Chelsea-Liverpool 4-4 Champion's League Quarterfinal, I've liked him as a player.  As for Collins...what can I say, I like gingers.

Right Back-Gary Neville

Just kidding.

Right Back-Daniel Alves

Basically, I don't want my team defending.

Center Mid-Marouane Fellaini

That afro does it for me.

Center Mid-Frank Lampard

Lamps has always been my favorite Non-Villan.  I know Kirsten will co-sign this one.

Left Wing-Lionel Messi

He's the best player in the world, if you don't have a man-crush on him as a player what are you watching.  Also I like legos.

Right Wing-Marc Albrighton

This is a Villa blog, do I need to explain myself.  Plus I made this.

Attacking Mid-Thomas Muller

This is the German heritage in me coming out.  I would love to see his Mannschaft.....I mean watch him play for the Mannschaft.  This is awkward.

Center Forward-Dirk Kuyt

Hawt.

If there any player you have a man/woman-crush on?

If I did 3 subs he'd be in it.

Ryan Giggs as a forward on a legit team? Interesting… interesting.

Eh…it’s 4-3-3 and he’s a winger. I think he played up behind Rooney a few times last year, sort of like a second striker. Also, this is the least scientific thing ever.

I’m just messing with you a little bit. If you look at my comment below, I’m a giant Giggs fan.

My team

It has been in progress for about a month now.
(Warning: Click open in new tab as I forgot to click the box for a bunch of them and this has already taken me quite awhile)

Goal: Fernando Muslera (Lazio, Uruguay): Hello, penalty kicks. Yes, please focus on Muslera just a little longer, thanks.

Right back: Fritz Clemens (Werder Breman, Germany): A new discovery pulled from the hours spent mulling over Kickette…I’m thinking now is the time to start watching some Bundesliga.

Center back: Diego Lugano (Fenerbahçe, Uruguay): How can you not love that silly face?

Center back: Richard Dunne (Aston Villa, Republic of Ireland): Unusual choice, I admit, but Dunnie’s got that “So ugly he’s actually quite sexy” thing going on. Plus mouthwatering accent. If he can speak, that is. Anyone know?

Left back: Leo Gonzalez (Seattle Sounders, Costa Rica): I feel a bit weird about this one, considering I’ve interviewed the man, but again, shortage of defensive prospects and he looks awfully nice when sweaty.

Right wing: Ashley Young (Aston Villa, England): If he’s going to strip for a web cam, can’t he make an Ash Young flip-calendar? Is that so much to ask?

Midfield: Frank Lampard (Chelsea, England): Fat Frank? Don’t think so. Lamps has me tied to the screen with every Chelsea/England free kick or corner, hoping that I’ll see him do his little quick-step run up, or (please god) lick his lips before taking the kick. It’s an involuntary reaction, ok? And oh goodness me the man looks amazing in the Chelsea aways.

Playmaker: Yoann Gourcuff (Bordeaux, France): The one man allowed to be wearing that ridiculously tight French kit.

Left wing: Florent Malouda (Chelsea, France): Sure, he needs a new stylist, but have you seen this man smile? Makes me swoon. As if that weren’t enough, he has to slay me with his adorable French accent.

Striker: Fernando Torres (Liverpool, Spain): Freckles just barely nudges out Fredy Montero, whose soft-spoken ways and right foot make me want to swoon, but El Nino gets the nod because I can’t resist the freckles.

Striker: Alexis Sanchez (Udinese, Chile): Pocket-sized and more adorable than ’Nando, Alexi has me questioning my allegiance to Napoli. People may say Serie A is boring, but not with this man leading the attack.
