Killer looks can score

By Syida Lizta Amirul Ihsan

With Euro 2012 in full swing, the focus is both on players’ football skills... and their good looks! Syida Lizta Amirul Ihsan has eyes on a dreamy team

1. Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas
With killer good looks both clean shaven and scruffy, the 31-year-old Spain goalkeeper has legions of fans... and some are more into him than they are into football. Casillas packs an equal combination of good looks and goalkeeping skills, making him attractively lethal.

2. Defender: Joao Pereira
The Portugal defender, 28, is another good-looking guy on the field, his hair always well-gelled.

3. Defender: Leonardo Bonucci
With a pair of deep-set eyes and well-defined jaw, the tall and lean Italy defender who is only 25, may often look serious in photographs, but when he breaks into a rare smile, those eyes glisten and melt hearts.

4. Defender: Philippe Mexes
You will either like or loathe his looks, but this France defender for AC Milan clearly has style. Check out his locks and headband.

5. Defender: Sergio Ramos
There’s something about long-haired footballers that gets them fans’ attention and Spain defender Ramos, 26, is no exception. Some stylish hair-flipping action expected here.

6. Midfielder: Scott Parker
The England midfielder who plays for Tottenham Hotspur is the icing on the English team when it comes to good looks. Sorry, Rooney.

7. Midfielder: Sami Khedira
Of Tunisian origin, the Germany midfielder with jet black hair and a killer smile has been photographed in GQ magazine with his model girlfriend, Lena Gercke. That caused quite a stir.

8. Midfielder: Yohan Cabaye
With his cheeky grin and boyish good looks, the France midfielder, 26, will add a sparkle to the matches.

9. Striker: Fernando Torres
Here’s one more player with an enviable crop. Off the field, he looks like a member of a boy band. On the field, this Spain striker may just spell misery for the opposing team.

10. Striker: Cristiano Ronaldo
You’ve got to give it to the Portugal striker for massively expanding the football fanbase. Like David Beckham before him, he is celebrated both for his good looks and sports skills.

11. Striker: Robin Van Persie
The striker for the Orange team may be 29, but he looks younger than his age, thanks to his bright smile. With Van Persie on board, we don’t mind going Dutch. slizta@nstp.com.my
