WAG Deflation At The World Cup

victoria beckhamAnd just when we had a World cup when I was sort of paying attention.

WAGs is shorthand for the players’ wives and girlfriends, and at the latest World Cup—2006, in Germany—the women behind the men on the field shot to world-wide fame when intense media coverage of their shopping sprees, champagne consumption and sexy clothing styles all but overshadowed that of their partners on the playing field. While the England team labored and eventually lost in the quarterfinal, the women, with their tight tank tops and big handbags, became stars of their own.

It will be a different story in South Africa. Victoria Beckham, the WAG gold standard and wife of injured David Beckham, will likely stay away. Colleen Rooney, wife of star Wayne Rooney, will be home with the baby. Cheryl Cole is separating from her husband, defender Ashley Cole.

    Victoria Beckham – I liked that WAG a lot better before her stylist told her to never crack a smile in public:

    star atletes usually go for the left overs. all you hear is that they are posing half nude, having an affair or they are leaving their husbands. Why?, because they found one who will give them more money to spend on ugly expensive clothes and will stay at home all the time.
