If there's one thing we learned in all that World Cup hoo-ha last year, it's that the only thing the English love more than their soccer are their WAGs. That's the "Wives and Girlfriends" of the sport's biggest stars—or "football totty" as Nuts magazine lovingly refers to them—who are just as famous, if not more so, than their sports hero companions. That might have something to do with the fact that soccer players seem to exclusively date models, pop stars, reality show contestants, and topless Page 3 babes. The latest issue of Nuts offers evidence of this phenomoenon by celebrating the 100 hottest football wives/girlfriends (including some familiar faces such as Gemma Atkinson and Michelle Marsh), most of whom have been thankfully photographed in various states of undress. We think we understand now why England didn't go as far in the big tournament as some of their fans might have hoped. Can you blame them for wanting to get home as soon as possible?
