World Cup Hunk: Oui, s’il vous plaît

IHGB reader Cecily introduced me to our World Cup hunk of the minute Yoann Gourcuff.  And for that, I am truly forever in her debt.

Because I’m convinced that if Yoann and I ever crossed paths, I’m pretty sure we would totally date.  I’ve suffered many hours of Google image research on this French midfielder and have come up with the following conclusions:

Yoann is a fun-loving guy.  I’m a fun-loving gal.  He has a killer smile.  I melt at killer smiles.  See?  Already this is a no brainer.

He works hard.  And he plays hard.  I have to admire a guy who can do both at the same time.

He’s affectionate.  I can envision myself in Chamakh 29′s place and let me tell you…it feels nice.  Even with home slice on the right included in the embrace.

But this is the one that nails it.  Clearly, my boy Yoann is a fan of Newsies.

And that just makes him precious to me.

I’m off to translate “seize the day” in French.  Here’s hoping it comes in handy one day!

    Holy cow. Thank you for your tireless efforts in seeking out world cup hotness.

    God bless soccer players. Yummy.

  3. Kim says:

    Oh la la. How about “carpe diem?” All those Europeans know multiple languages, so it should work! Sidenote: have you seen the Youtube video where “Seize the Day” is remixed with Lady Gaga? Hilarity.

  4. Marus says:

    i love soccer players. why is it that they are the hottest of athletes?

    :::adds “start attending soccer matches” to to-do list:::

    Jack Kelly, eat your heart out! Hubba, hubba!

  6. Leslie from Austin says:

    This is exactly the reason I should have traveled more when I was young, wild and free. Now that I am old, tired and married I will just have to daydream…

    And can we please discuss the fact that media whore Kate Gosselin wants to be the next Bachelorette.
    WHAT?!?!?!?

    Lincee, you have me interested in soccer. I watched a match yesterday and shamefully cheered for the team with the hottest goalie (Nigeria). Heading to the TV room soon so see what other great highlights I can get. I have no clue about any rules or things, just that they are trying to get the ball into the net. Go cute goalies!!!!!

    Thanks for the hot Frenchman update. And yes, I can totally see how you would fit right into his life. Excellent research, dear friend.

  8. rock paper scissors says:

    OK- I know nothing about sports, but I DO know a beautiful man when I see one – WOW!! Lincee, I agree- you both have so much in common, you’d be perfect together!

  9. LisaC says:

    WOW That is one beautiful man!! YUM!

  10. True says:

    Bon jour! Hmmm…wonder if all french men look like this or if they just export their best looking ones so the rest of the world’s women will be jealous?

  11. Magda says:

    So sad… apparently he’s gay???? Still amazing eye candy tho…

    The December issue of Têtu has named Yoann Gourcuff its “bomb of the month.” The monthly gay magazine talks about the “doe eyes, rebellious locks, and tapering thighs” of the Girondins’ and France National Team’s newest #10. A check with the gay community also indicates that in Breton, “Gourcuff” … means “sweet man.”* When it comes to the “Bomb of the Month” title, Gourcuff succeeds Cristiano Ronaldo.

  12. Leslie from Austin says:

    Ok Magda, you should have kept that to yourself. I’m sad. I prefer to think of him as waiting for just the right woman. :)

  13. SGT Cole says:

    I’m not sure if a French soccer player is a paragon of masculinity – but at least they are ATHLETES. Unlike buck-toothed golfing skirt-chaser El Tigre.

    And anything on this page that celebrates competitors is good to go. I really hate actors.

  14. Magda says:

    @SGT Code – I agree – I couldn’t care less if he’s gay (or not) – he still makes my eyes happy! And who doesn’t want to look at a well toned athletic body with bedroom eyes and killer smile on top of it!!!

  15. Lorraine says:

    Lincee, I love your taste in men :) He is such a hottie!! Keep ‘em coming ,,,

  16. storm says:

    Lincee, i am twice their age, married but not blind or dead from the neck down – keep the hotness coming girl!

  17. Mallory says:

    I think next, you should do a post on Captain Carlos Bocanegra and/or Landon Donovan of our own US team. :) Mmmm mmmm mmmmmmmm.

  18. newfan says:

    There is so much eye candy on the Austrailian team! It’s ridiculous! Google them, trust me. Check out the captain Lucas Neill.

  19. saggleo says:

    Oh yum. Thanks for the eye candy treat!

    I think you’d also like Cristiano Ronaldo – just the name alone….and he’s the new Emporio Armani model in their underwear and jean campaign (RedEye). http://televisioninternet.com/news/pictures/ronaldoa1.html

  20. KDilly! says:

    Yum!! Just another reason to love Lincee – thanks for the Monday boost!!

  21. PetEKaren says:

    OMG. I just drooled on my desk. Yum!

  22. Liz says:

    Hello hot stuff – thanks for making my Monday a bit better with this eye candy.

  23. Lyndie22 says:

    He can’t be gay, that would be the most tragic waste I’ve seen in my life. Go for it Lincee!

  24. SGT Cole says:

    I really want Miley Cyrus to hurry up and turn 18 – and don’t make the conventional assumptions. I just want the media to do something else with their time instead of obsessing about what she is wearing. When she is legal, it won’t be taboo, and therefore, no longer newsworthy. Not that it ever was.

  25. Mallory says:

    Okay, sorry, this is too good to wait for your post tomorrow!

    The King of Tools and Sausage broke up!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  26. Lori H says:

    I heard that about Jake & Sausage this morning on the radio – shocker! NOT!

  27. Shannon says:

    He is gorgeous!! BTW- Jake and Vienna are splitsville!!!!

  28. Kiley says:

    HELLO. Well done, ladies, finding some new desktop images for me.

    Our own US team has some eye candy too… http://baltimoresun.image2.trb.com/balnews/media/photo/2009-07/48271211.jpg or http://twentysixpanels.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/oguchionyewu.jpg. If you get a minute and the boss is away, Google “Oguchi Onyewu ESPN” — might be a bit NSFW (which is why I’m not posting the link…a well-placed towel and a soccer ball keep it from being Playgirl material) but goodness gracious is he good-looking.

  29. AggieFan says:

    Ya know, he is soooooo freaking hot to stare at…..but he’s FRENCH! That ruins it for me. I would love to listen to him talk to me and I would love to just look at him all day. But from my understanding, his being French means he doesn’t wear deoderant….GROSS! I like the smell of my sweaty man, but not that kind of smell! If he is truly gay, that kinda ruins the fantasy too!

  30. Tessa says:

    Discovered this today: http://sarkastic.livejournal.com/446372.html?love

    I completely agree that one should start with the goalkeeper when looking for the most attractive player on the team. Enjoy! ;)

  31. Sheila says:

    Oh my gosh lincee- you are a riot!

  32. LG says:

    Can we get an ode to Landon Donovan today in honor of the US game?!?!?

  33. Melissa says:

    I love newsies! and hunky men. thanks for sharing!
