English Footballer Joe Hart Missed His True Calling

Listen, we watched nearly 20 minutes of the America-England game on Saturday and we didn't even notice the guy, but then we see this video of him dancing around in his underwear and he's all we can think about.

This video has been floating around the web since some point during the 90% of last year when Americans weren't pretending to care about soccer. (For the record, we were raised by football-obsessed west African immigrants. You don't know football fever until you've been forced to spend 6 hours on a Saturday watching old Brazil games in preparation for the new Brazil game later that afternoon.) This man may be just another faceless blip on the soccer field, but performing improvised dance in this intimate setting to the classic Missy Elliot track, "Lose Control," he has all the grace of a swan. The fact that this gorgeous hunk of guy could be hidden away from us for so long just reinforces our whole "more athletes should start modeling" thing.

But this is what we've been saying all along! Yeah, "the football" is great. People like sports for whatever reasons and, more importantly, it's a good excuse for these guys to condition their bodies into unbelievably tight sexiness factories. But once that's over and done with, it's time to start being shirtless all. the. time. Seriously. All the time. Why are men this gorgeous wasting everyone's time running around with their clothes on?
