World Cup Personal Ads

The World Cup can be a great jumping off point for a player's career, especially if you come from one of the lesser known teams.  While it's likely we won't see anything on par with the amazing Michael Owen brochure from last summer, expect players to try and market themselves while in South Africa.  Whether it's through their play on the field or their time in the media spotlight, the next month is the perfect opportunity for every man involved to post his very own personal ad.

Today, we look at the Craigslist Ads posted by two of the players potentially on the hunt for a good team next year.

I was visiting, you were totally talented... - 20 (Kingston upon Hull)
Posted by Jozy Altidore in Missed Connections: m4TopHalfTeam

I'm a young, single black man who was in town from Spain for work.  We met twice in person, but I watched you every weekend on TV.  I'm the tall, strong guy who was running around near your defenders.


Anyway, I really liked the way you moved with the ball, and your friends seemed like cool guys.  I think we may have had a connection, but I can't be sure.  Maybe both of us were just too shy to make the first move.  


If you see this and think there might be something between us to explore, send me a message.  Tell me who I headbutted on Sunderland so I know it's really you.
