Joining fellow puck bunnies Hilary Duff and Elisha Cuthbert today is Emma Andersson. Her brunette locks may suggest otherwise, but Emma is Swedish, and has forged a successful career in her homeland as a model, chef and TV personality. She is currently engaged to the Detroit Red Wings’ Henrik Zetterberg (whose lumberjack beard makes him unmistakably Swedish) and has moved from the land of saunas and affordable flat-pack furniture to Michigan, in order to be close to her man.
The hopelessly romantic Brazilian found love in Beijing
Tubby Brazilian star Ronaldinho had a relatively unspectacular Olympic tournament, but he made an effort to spice it up by asking 24-year-old Swedish footballer Johanna Almgren to marry him.
The thoroughly romantic AC Milan man popped the question using a translator, but not before attempting to seal the deal with his sexy moves. Spanish rag Marca reports:
“Ronaldinho came over to me, look me directly in the eyes, then took my hand and kissed it. Later on, his interpreter asked me to come up to his room.”
Soon after she declined his kind offer to see his room, Ronny’s translator broke the big news. To find out if blonde Göteborg FC winger Johanna accepted the proposal and to see some pictures of her, read on…
Who produces the world’s finest WAGs - America, or Europe?
This is all getting a bit too easy. For the third day running, Europe’s WAGs have thoroughly embarrassed their American counterparts. Even our burger munching chums across the pond at On205th decided Cheryl Cole was hotter than NBA WAG Eva Longoria by a margin of nearly 90 per cent. So, we go into the fourth day of the tournament with a convincing 3-0 lead.
Today, Playboy centrefold and NFL WAG Jennifer Walcott faces stiff competition from Sweden’s equally-pneumatic Oksana Andersson, ladyfriend of Christian Wilhelmsson…
Enhancing the reputation of Swedish au pairs worldwide
Swedish au pairs are often stereotyped as devastatingly beautiful blondes, who are partial to wearing less clothes than society deems necessary. Former model Elin Nordegren does nothing to dispel this perception. She and twin sister (!) Josefin were working as childminders for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik in 2001, when she caught the attention of a young man named Tiger Woods. They were engaged in 2003, married in 2004, and enjoying the birth of their first child Sam Alexis Woods in 2007. Poor old Jesper, meanwhile, has had to make do with just one incredibly hot au pair.
WAGs are funny. So tanned, so moisturised, so pretty, but informally ask one if she’s going to remove her top any time soon, and the air will suddenly chill - it’s as if you’ve said something wrong/inappropriate. Weird.
One WAG who isn’t so uptight when it comes to removing clothes, however, is Sweden’s Oksana Andersson - singer, model, resting place for Deportivo’s Christian Wilhemsson. You won’t find her sneering down her nose at the thought of going topless on the beach, and, not only that, but she won’t even dump her boyfriend for making abominable fashion blunders like shorts-with-braces (above). What a gal!
See what happens when Oksana no longer requires the top half of her bikini after the jump…
Last night in Innsbruck, some old Scandinavian men were given an early summer holiday by some spritely Russians. Elsewhere, some Dutch people were starting to get quite concerned.
Meanwhile, the team whose only Euro 2004 defeat was at the hands of Russia managed to lose all three of their games this time round. Bravo.
Last night, Austrian striker Ivica Vastic earned himself a lifetime’s supply of beer from a Vienna-based brewery, by slotting away an injury time penalty. In the spirit of rewarding overpaid athletes for fulfilling the criteria of their job description, Paddy Power have offered the first Spaniard to score against Sweden tomorrow night a Hummer. That’s not a ‘hummer’ in the sense that Cristiano Ronaldo and his lady-of-the-night associates may understand it, but rather one of those grotesque gas-guzzling military vehicles that they can’t shift for love nor money anymore.
There is, however, one condition for the giveaway. The Spanish scorer must also perform the ‘Chiki-Chiki’ dance - it’s a joke routine that started on Spanish television and ended up being their 2008 Eurovision entry:
Euro nations send their finest ladies to provide support
Our hermanos at Machochip have found a rather fantastic blog called euro2008girls.com. Several times a day, they upload snaps taken from Swissaustria of the tournament’s most aesthetically-pleasing patriots. What a jolly splendid idea.
So far, Sweden are upholding their ridiculously good looking end of the bargain (except for Bosley in the background), but Germany and Portugal are hot on their sexy heels.
Spurs and Chelsea are just two of the pack of clubs racing to steal David Villa away from Valencia, but after last night’s hat-trick they’ll performance, they’ll have to part with at least £25million for the privelege.
Over in Salzburg, Greece and Sweden did their best to bore the shit out of us for an hour, but thankfully Inter’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic (see his lovely WAG here) woke us from the coma by slotting home a superb goal of the tournament contender.
Top heavy model-types who earn themselves a footballer are all too often tarred with the ‘you’re quite thick’ brush. Today’s Euro 2008 WAG of the Day, however, is a notabale exception - 37-year-old Swede Helena Seger has an economics degree, has worked as a marketing manager for Swatch and FlyMe and probably speaks better English than you and I.
In his time, Inter Milan and Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimović has been linked with a whole host of European models, but it was Helena he met at a party in 2002, and they now have two sons together.
