These Footballers Could Probably Kick All Those Other Footballers’ Asses

We know, we know: Everyone is obsessed with soccer players right now. But why not take a breather from the World Cup madness with Pedro Virgil's slobber-inducing portraits of Australian rugby players from the upcoming book, "Gods of Sports?"

Don't get us wrong. We love soccer players and we've been having a wonderful time drooling over their diverse and gorgeous ranks for the past few weeks. Still, like any sport, the top soccer players all share a certain look: the lean build of people who spend hours sprinting back and forth on a gigantic field. If a soccer star is like a light turkey sandwich, these rugby hunks are pounds of 100% beef. And we have to say, we are famished.
