David Beckham and Friend Protect Their Balls?

Posted by Emily Farris

We'd like to know what David Beckham and his teammate are doing below the belt. Whatever it is, it's kind-of hot.

 

Are they merely protecting their balls from the ball? Is this normal? They're holding on a little tight, don't you think? We don't watch enough football to know for sure, though.

You certainly don't watch football at all, do you? This is a fairly common sight in 'soccer'(as you Yanks so quaintly insist on calling it), they seem to be forming a defensive line in front of a goal against a penalty kick. If the frame was wider, you'd like ly see the rest of the aquad preparing to join them.

Being a proud owner of a two fine testicles myself, I think I can safely say that clutching the boys tightly like that would offer ZERO protection against an attacking soccer/football ball.  It'd be safer to cross both hands in front of them, with eyes turned upward in prayer. Maybe the players are doing a "good luck" kind of thing? Like, stroking a rabbit's foot?
