But what is it that defines this preference? Football players lead a life in the fast lane, with invites to star studded events as they walk the same red carpet as Robert Pattinson, hand in hand with Miss England, drive top of the range sports cars and own million pound mansions from their ridiculously high earnings, undeservedly may I add. However, I wouldn't exactly be complaining if I was a WAG. But let's face it, unless I get a boob job, help from a plastic surgeon, (preferably not Michael Jackson's), a fake tan and most importantly not minding if I were to be cheated on, marrying a footballer is very unlikely, although currently top of my agenda.
Footballers have the stereotype of being pretty boys- with the exception of Rooney and Ronaldinho - who maintain slender figures and take pride in their appearance (or vain in other words) as they indulge in designer clothing, sunglasses and sparkling silver earrings. Yes Cristiano Ronaldo, I am talking about you. To some, this is incredibly appealing, and who could blame them? Generally footballers are very attractive men, better looking than half of the rugby players who have noses the size of a gorilla's and swollen ears, but some could argue them to be a tad puny.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that there are pros and cons for both sets of players, but in reality, a rugby player doesn't need a tennis ball in his briefs like David Beckham does...
