国外媒体:世界杯帅哥评选:卡纳瓦罗最帅 鲁尼最丑

Wayne Rooney world's ugliest footballer: website

After a hugely disappointing World Cup, England striker Wayne Rooney is unlikely to be cheered by his latest accolade¹: ugliest footballer on the planet.

The Manchester United goal machine, who flopped² after being hyped as a potential superstar in South Africa, heads the list of unattractive players on dating website BeautifulPeople.com.

Most beautiful, according to online voters subscribing³ to the site, are Italy's Fabio Cannavaro, Fernando Torres and David Villa⁴ of Spain, US mainstay Landon Donovan and France's Thierry Henry.

Rooney has the company of England team mate John Terry in the top 10 ugliest, but it's the Algerian team that comes out as collectively the least attractive on the planet, according to the poll.

BeautifulPeople.com claimed that 200,000 people had already voted and that the polling was ongoing⁵.

在结束了令人失望的世界杯之旅后，英格兰国家队前锋韦恩?鲁尼日前又迎来了一个坏消息：被评为世界最丑的足球运动员。

这位曼联俱乐部的进球机器在BeautifulPeople.com约会网站日前开展的世界杯最丑球员评选中位居榜首。在南非世界杯前被普遍看好的鲁尼在本次比赛中表现不佳。

根据网友的评选结果，意大利队的法比奥?卡纳瓦罗、西班牙队的费尔南多?托雷斯和大卫?维拉，美国队主力兰顿?多纳万和法国队的蒂埃里?亨利当选为最帅球员。

除鲁尼外，英格兰队的约翰?特里也跻身最丑球员榜前十位，但从球队整体而言，阿尔及利亚队最不养眼。

据BeautifulPeople.com网站介绍，目前已有20万名网友参与投票，调查仍在进行之中。
