After 19 intoxicating days of world class soccer, the FIFA World Cup 2010 is observing its first day of rest. While the world’s top players most likely welcome the break — and the assured, out-of-this-world naughty time — the spectators on Planet Football are left feeling a bit empty… a bit lonely.

To the rescue, FANunited seeks to fill that void with the hotties from the Umbro World Champions Collection.
