The Story
- Oh where to begin with Franck Ribery.
First let's state the obvious, he's an extremely talented player for both FC Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga league and the French National Team. He's also very religious, having converted to Islam and taking the name Bilal Yusuf Mohammed.
As for his personal life, Franck Ribery is married to Wahiba Ribery, who many describe as his childhood sweetheart. It was only after marrying Wahiba that Franck converted to Islam. The couple also has two daughters together. Now that covers the basic but let's get into the details that make Franck more than a great soccer player.
The 2010 World Cup is one that many French fans will quickly pass over when discussing the rich history of the program. The tournament was filled with both losses and team dissent. There were rumors of boycotts by the players and players flat out quitting on the coach. All of this led to a first round exit for France and a nation stunned by the developments. In the middle of all of this was Franck, who would later be suspended 3 International games for his part in the anarchy. Eventually Franck worked his way back into the good graces of the team and now is a central piece of the team.
We'd be remiss to ignore the scar. It's very hard to not notice the scar on Franck's face, and it turns out he and his family were in a horrible car accident when he was young. The family car collided with a truck which left Franck with the scar you now see.
The scar story isn't particularly great gossip, so now for the good dirt. Like many athletes Franck is rumored to have not been completely faithful to his wife Wahiba. Most athletes who cheat on their wives do at least make sure the girl they do it with is of age. In 2010 a story broke that had Franck a the center of an underage prostitution scandal. Zahia Dehar is the name of the call girl who Franck flew out for his birthday party. At the time she was 17, not the legal age of 18. Franck claimed, and Zahia backs up, that she told him she was 18. Regardless Franck was charged with soliciting a prostitute. Despite all of this Franck is still married to Wahiba.

- Talk about finding something you like early and not letting go of it.
The 26 year old striker for Bayern Munich and Germany has been in the same relationship for almost 8 years. Mario Gomez's girlfriend Silvia Meichel is only 24, and simple math would suggest that the two began dating at 18 and 16 respectively. As you can see by the pictures Silvia is extremely hot, and considering that she was also at one time a pharmacy student, it appears that she's got the total package in brains and beauty. Seems like the perfect combo, no?
Now I’m going to go out on a limb and state, despite the long history this one doesn't make it down the aisle. We're all for hometown, childhood love, but as sad as it is, these things rarely work out. How do we justify that statement? Glad you asked. There is no way someone as famous as Mario can only be with one woman from the time he is 18 through his professional career. I'm sorry but the odds clearly suggest that it's just not happening. Yes I know how hot Silvia is, trust me I’d die for a girl that hot, but I'm also sitting here writing a blog hiding behind a computer. Now, while it's a universal fact that bloggers pull notorious trim, we are willing to admit that world class soccer players are frequently presented with more opportunities. Mario is without question one of the best players in the world and the ladies have to be tossing themselves all over him. While we wish Mario and Silvia all the best, we wouldn't be shocked to hear of a split eventually. Good luck to them all the same.

The Story
- I really thought when I started searching on Drogba there would be some good dirt about his personal life.
Considering that he is currently the most famous soccer player out of Africa and that he plays in the Premier League for the high profile Chelsea there had to be something. That type of background usually leads us to a long list of girlfriends, one night stands, drama and more.
That however is not the case with Drogba.
His personal life is about as normal as it comes. In 2011 Dieder Drogba married Diakité Lalla in a simple ceremony in Monaco. Actually, let me back track a little bit on the last statement. When I said simple, I really meant simple when compared to other posh ceremonies held by athletes. I mean it is tough to call any ceremony simple when you have Akon in the house as a guest (and not as a paid performer).
Alla and Dieder met over ten years ago now in France. Although Dieder is from the Ivory Coast (that is also his soccer national team), he also has citizenship in France. While getting his career started in the French club system Dieder and Alla met. Before the couple finally married they had three kids and since the marriage Alla gave birth to a son. The couple stays out of the limelight so well that the only way people found out about Alla being pregnant for the 4th time was an incident where the police where called after she got in an argument with the cleaner. It was noted by the police that Alla was pregnant. A special thank you to the police for basing their reports on facts and providing us this information.

The Story
- Much to everyone’s surprise, Chelsea has advanced to the 2012 Champion’s league final. One of the men responsible for getting them there is long time star Frank Lampard.
The aging England star, who turns 34 years old in June, will likely be looking at his last Euro Cup appearance this August, but he has something much more important planned before it: marrying his fiancé Christine Bleakley.
The couple has dated since October 2009, following the end of his engagement and seven year relationship with Spanish model Elen Rivas. Lampard and Bleakley became engaged last June and are planning to wed in June of 2012. Lampard has two children with his ex Rivas.
Bleakley formerly hosted BBC’s One Show and currently hosts Dancing on Ice. In an interview with English tabloid, The Sun, Lampard had positive words for his future bride's work ethic:
“Christine is very hard-working and we are very similar in our mindsets, liking to work hard”
Rumors have them relocating to Los Angeles during the offseason, which will certainly be a boost for Bleakley’s career.
