BEEFCAKE: Featuring Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo!

For the June issue of Vanity Fair, Annie Leibovitz set out to capture some of soccer’s biggest stars, including Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Ivory Coast’s Didier Drogba, Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o, and Brazil’s Kaká.

Leibovitz’s portraits are, well, revealing. And underwear has never looked so patriotic!

In America, these men might not enjoy the same name recognition as the stars of the N.F.L.—that game that we call football—but for most of the planet, they are more than just showstoppers. They are gods.
