B-town's footie kittens

The hottest hunks on the football pitch make many women go weak in the knees. We spoke to B-town women for their vote on which team has bowled them over...

Roshni Chopra
I have been supporting Brazil and Spain but my all-time favourities are Argentina because the football they play is a class apart. I am an all-time Maradona fan as well. I love Ronaldo for his dexterity and his sportsmanship.

Celina Jaitley
I am the biggest Brazil fan. Kaka is my current favourite. When I was in school, I remember wearing a Brazil jersey to school and I was sent back. My dad laughed when I came home and told him. The teacher's complaint didn't matter because Brazil won that year. My dad is also a football fan too but he is an Argentina supporter. I am quite disappointed with that!

Mandira Bedi
I was in South Africa for three days and I fell in love with football. I watched the Argentina-Mexico and Brazil-Chile match in the hospitality box of the stadium. Then I decided to drive down to Pretoria from Johannesburg to catch the Paraguay-Japan match where I sat alone in the stands between two huge South African fans. They asked me if I was stood up because I was alone. I also got to see some art by Pele which was up for auction at a gallery. I also bought some vuvuzelas back for me and my friends. I was quite sad when Portugal lost and Christiano Ronaldo was out of the World Cup. I hope the magic of Messi and craziness of Maradona continues.

Italians have a cool style statement on the field and so I love to see them play. This year though I was excited about checking out the Mexican players. I couldn't help but miss David Beckham. It was quite sad that he had to miss this World Cup.
