We’ve all gone football crazy and the latest issue of FHM (August) takes the world’s most beautiful game to a whole new sexy level. What a cover!

heat of course has been covering the World Cup every week and the free soccer hottie posters have been a huge hit with heat’s brand fans. Sjoe, who knew footballers are so hot and such good actors! I think we should feature the heat World Cup Oscars. The game has certainly gained a whole lot of new fans and experts. What on earth are we gonna do when it’s all over?

At FHM we’re planning a trip down to Kwa-Zulu Natal to shoot our new TV commercials for starters, there’s a hot new cover shoot with FHM Sexiest Woman in the World, presented by Samsung 3D Roxy Louw and FHM Collections to look forward to. At heat we’ve got the heat ManWatch winner shoot to console ourselves, the heat Hair & Beauty Awards 2010 for some pampering tips and heat Hot 100 to look forward to. Enjoy!
