USMNT Content: Red, White, & Blue Steel from Grantland (erotic "soccer" photos)

Apologies if already posted (in fact if it hasn't been posted yet people should apologize for having not posted it):

"The year was 2002. American soccer, normally a global power, was going through one of its brief down periods, this one having begun in August of 1930. ... And that was how the most amazing photo shoot in the history of U.S. soccer came blazing — literally blazing, like a Mack truck filled with dragons and pushed off the top of Mount Rushmore — into existence.

It couldn't have made more sense. Need to drum up some publicity for your sports team in advance of its big event? Of course you sign them up for a New York Times Magazine style spread photographed by Dutch photographer and ex-Armani creative director Matthias Vriens. I mean, of course you do."

I'm sure the LD photo (seductively licking a water fountain) has been posted here but the rest were new to me. A sample featuring good old Brian McBride:

Pablo Mastroeni good lord no why?:

I'd never thought of Casey Keller as a sex symbol until now.
