U20 SOCCER WORLD CUP: GERMANY PLAYERS POSED FOR PLAYBOY

If people weren’t excited enough about the Women’s World Cup in Germany, those good folks at Playboy have gone and sent interest through the roof after doing a covershoot with five members of the German U-20 national team


Annika Doppler (Bayern Munich), Kristina Gessat (FSV Gutersloh), Ivana Rudelic (Bayern), Julia Simic (Bayern) and Selina Wagner (Wolfsburg) all posed in various states of undress for the adult magazine.In the accompanying interview, the footballers discuss how they find the “erroneous image of the unattractive football player” to be the “most annoying” stereotype about the women’s game and how they’re trying to get away from that image by attaching more importance to their appearance.

German World Cup finals Playboy

They also say how they think it’s easier for female footballers to be openly gay than it is for male footballers, and talk about and whether or not they would want Louis “The Party Beast” van Gaal as a manager.

Recently, five members of the German National Women's U-20 team posed erotically for the German edition of Playboy, in hopes of promoting the sport just weeks before the Women's World Cup kicks off. The idea was to show the more beautiful side of women's sports, as opposed to the "butch" stereotype that they feel shrouds the game.

Bayern Munich players Annika Doppler, Ivana Rudelic and Julia Simic as well as Wolfsburg's Selina Wagner and Gutersloh's Kristina Gessat all stripped down for the shoot.

"With these photos, we want to disprove the cliche that all female footballers are butch," Gessat told the media.
The Deutscher Fussball-Bund (DFB), soccer's governing body in Germany, apparently had nothing to do with the shoot, and according to the Daily Mail, Playboy went right to the players (who are all aged 19 to 22) and not their teams.

Whether or not there's any backlash over these photos remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: they definitely helped spread the word on the Women's World Cup

THE "ADULT" GERMANY TEAM TOO

Seven years after FIFA president Sepp Blatter suggested in all seriousness that "pretty" women footballers should "have tighter shorts" to "create a more female aesthetic" members of the German national squad have made the old man's dream come true by posing for Playboy ahead of the Women's World Cup.


Five young footballers - Annika Doppler (Bayern Munich), Kristina Gessat (FSV Gutersloh), Ivana Rudelic (Bayern), Julia Simic (Bayern) and Selina Wagner (Wolfsburg) - all donned hotpants and a tight white tops in sexy mockery of the German strip and posed in various states of undress for a cover shoot .

The adult magazine goes on sale on top shelves all over Germany this week and in the accompanying interview the frauleins claim they did the shoot to debunk the "erroneous image of the unattractive football player". With Gutersloh's Gessat adding: "The message is, look, we are normal - and lovely - girls."

The Deutscher Fussball-Bund didn't know anything about the shoot beforehand but the stunt has succeeded in promoting the Women's World Cup
