HANDS up who wouldn’t mind hitting a bar with Sara Carbonero, wife of Spanish goalie Iker Casillas.
The TV reporter, 32, is today’s Beautiful Game Wag. And she’s quite a catch – she was once named World’s Sexiest Journalist by FHM mag.
Of course, she’s in safe hands with Casillas, 35, whose team play Croatia tonight. The keeper, right, is the most capped player in European football, with 167 appearances.
Sara netted him a ticking off when she was accused of distracting him during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa by standing too close to his goal.
His reputation was saved – Spain still won the tournament.
Spain boss Vicente del Bosque admitted is was difficult to drop Casillas in favour of Manchester United's David De Gea.
And another benchwarmer,Chelsea winger Pedro, caused him further problems by claiming there was no point in turning up to France.
But Del Bosque refused to hammer his players for complaining about missing out.
He said: "What he has said, he did not disrespect anyone. I think his conscience got the better of him a little bit and he just showed a reality of what the 12 players who are not playing all feel.
"Pedro was a bit angry he is not playing, that is inevitable and can happen.
"We try to get on well with everyone and for everybody to be happy and comfortable.
"However, it is inevitable that in certain moments with those 12 players who are not playing there will be a bit of discrepancy, that is what happened and I don't think there is anything more to it than that.
"All the news here has been positive so when something negative comes out it is blown out proportion a bit, but I don't think it will have a lot of repercussions.
"I don't think we should be too hard on him, and in the 50-plus games he has been here with us, he has been a very correct player."
