Gods Of The Stadium

Gods-of-the-stadium

Check out the “Gods of the Stadium” French soccer team!!! Don’t you wish we could have a calender like this?? LA Galaxy & Beckham…! Too good..Wishful thinking.

From Perez Hilton: Former coach Ewen McKenzie, who was recently fired from top French football team Stade Francais, slammed his former employers for basing recruitment on looks instead of ability.

And if you saw this team and the calendar they put out every year, you’d totally get it!

“Stade Francais is the best team in the world in terms of marketing,” said McKenzie, “It’s an international brand. But on the level of their sporting approach some things are shocking. Paris are verging on amateurism.”

Ssshhh! Take your shirt off!

The popular Dieux du Stade (translated to Gods of the Stadium) calendar features nude and semi-nude photos of team members.

Yum!

So, Ewen accused club president Max Guazzini of “only seeing two things – his calendar and the (team’s home ground) Stade de France”.

We would only be able to see ONE thing!

“He has a marketing outlook which is not always in the best interests of sport,” McKenzie continued. “For example, Max could recruit one player over another just because he has a better look for the calendar.”

And that’s shocking?!

“I had players in my squad who I never chose. Others were requested to leave the club because they didn’t want to pose for the calendar any more,” he divulged. “I had certain players forced on me who, for me, shouldn’t have been in a team targetting the Top 14 title.”

If a little team injustice brings that sight (above) to our eyes, all is well with the world!
