The ladies - they cannot resist this handsome devil
Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano is known for his short temper and on-pitch hissy fits, yet in his autobiography, the 26-year-old reveals his near-legendary inability to keep his pants on when attractive women are around. Cassano, who once called the irrefutably-gifted Rosaria Cannavò his girlfriend, claims to have put away somewhere in the region of 700 ladies. Our German friends at Bild report:
“I was engaged four times in eleven years, and I experienced some adventures. I slept with between 600 and 700 girls, 20 of whom belong to the world of the show business.”
During his time at Real Madrid - where his constant unprofessional behaviour and displays of “disrespect” towards Fabio Capello saw him sidelined and suspended - Cassano enjoyed some of his best steamrollering years. The Italian says sex before games was frequent, and he could invite whomever he wanted to the team hotel. Once he had had his way with a lady, he claims he would exchange them with a friend who worked at a hotel for “three or four croissants.” He called sex and a meal “the perfect night,” but neglected to mention how football fitted into the equation.
Nowadays, Casanno is settled down with Carolina Marcialis, a 17-year-old water polo player.
The Spoiler counts down the best supporting ladies of the year
Can you make time for fifty of the world’s greatest WAGs? You’re already reading blogs at work, so why not further hamper your productivity by checking out what (who) footballers do in their time?
Days in The Spoiler office can be long and draining. There is no natural light, only basic rations to eat, and some days we’re forced at gunpoint to compile lists of the best looking women we will probably never meet. Here’s fifty of them.
Over the past two weeks, the finest WAGs of Europe have been busying themselves in a fierce transatlantic battle. Some nails were chipped, several upmarket boutiques went without custom and the barmen at Chinawhites have never felt so unwanted, but I am pleased to report that our best supporting ladies have come home victorious.
Over 40,000 votes were cast here and at On205th, and the ladies from the old continent were deemed hotter by 55 per cent of the voting public. Gemma Atkinson and her foxy ilk won seven of ten rounds with their yankee counterparts, and as a result, the Americans have agreed to revoke their independence from Great Britain, and they will pass a bill banning Cristiano Ronaldo from poaching prostitutes sunbathing by hotel swimming pools in California.
‘Tis a glorious day for one and all.
Relive all the sexy action and cast a belated vote right here.

Who produces the world’s greatest WAGs - America, or Europe?
We invent them, and they kick us out. We give them language, and they bastardise (”bastardize”) it. We give them the Beatles, and they make us take Madonna. Meanwhile, us Europeans are forced to sit back and watch America use the democracy we blessed them with to elect a man who can barely dress himself.
Well enough is enough. It’s time to bring them down a peg or two, and what better way than via the medium of Waggery. Their national pastimes, which include rounders, netball and a girly version of rugby, attract some fine WAGs, but the supporting ladies in Europe are a cut above.
To settle it, The Spoiler and our American chums at On205th have decided to hold a battle royale to determine whether Europe or America have the best WAGs. It’s a bit like the Ryder Cup, but much sexier.
Each continent will enter 10 of their finest ladies to the tournament, and you can vote for your favourite here and at On205th each day.
If Europe wins, it has been agreed that America will revoke their independence and come back under Britain’s control. If they win, they get to continue taking the ‘U’ out of words like ‘neighbour’ and ‘colour’, and we have to keep Madonna.
Imagine spending a day in topsy-turvy world, where hot snow falls up and hamburgers eat people and Ronaldinho isn’t fat. In this magical land, the world’s finest WAGs would no longer be able to spend their time melting credit cards in exclusive boutiques or splashing around in the type of swimwear that your girlfriend would never wear in a million years. Instead, they’d have to graft it out on the football pitch, with Sepp Blatter constantly berating them about the length of their shorts.
With that strange vision in mind, The Spoiler has compiled an entire team of Euro 2008’s supporting ladies, starting with Gianluigi Buffon’s shot-stopping lovely…
A cursory glance through the WAG of the Day archive will show that Italy is capable of producing a very high standard of WAG, and today Valentina Zambrotta proves to be no exception. Along with Alena Seredova, Rosaria Cannavo and Belen Rodriguez, Valentina will be cheering the Italians at Euro 2008, paying particular attention to her AC Milan defender hubby Gianluca Zambrotta.
