It is always good to know that a celebrity shares your interest and supports a football club that you love.

Charlize Theron

It is even better if that celebrity is one of your favorite Hollywood actresses.

Here, we list five Hollywood beauties and their favorite football clubs.

Atmosphere plays a huge part in modern football. Some football teams are famous for the atmosphere that their fans create during their home games.

The 5 largest stadiums in Italy

Some of such  notable teams are Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

Having a large stadium is important for a team to accommodate their fan base. We look at the five largest stadiums in Italy.

10. Sheamus - Liverpool

Sheamus O'Shaunessy grew up in Ireland, which is almost sure to draw someone into being a Premier League fan and the same could have happened to Sheamus. He is known to be a big time rugby supporter but alongside this, is also a huge Liverpool fan.

During WWE’s European tour, he made sure that he went out with a photo wearing the Liverpool shirt.

Even though its seen as a promotional stunt by some, he himself have admitted his love for football on various occasions along with admitting that he loves Rugby more.

10. Hope Solo

The controversial US player is one of the best goalkeeper in the world, and  plays for Seattle Reign FC. She has also won two Olympic gold medals. She is definitely a keeper!

9. Erika Cristiano

A Brazilian international who is quick, agile and eye candy. The 26 year old defender is renowned for her part in a controversial act in 2011. She dropped to the ground in suspected agony from a back spasm. After being stretchered off she jumped back up and ran onto the field. The time delaying tactic failed as US scored in added time and went on to win on penalties.

8. Helen-Jean Stubbs


Unpredictable. The 20 year old South African-Italian midfielder is an agile, quick and at times snappy midfielder. An African queen in beauty and footballing skills.  Plying her trade in South Africa at Benels FC and is set to undergo a trial in the US. Keep an eye on the next Mata. Female version of Neymar.

7. Ali Krieger

The American player who is at home in defense and midfield is a joy to watch both on and off the field. She is Mexican and part of our gorgeous cast.

6. Kyah Simon

The Australian footballer is based in Australia. She had a stint in the US and is now back home. The 23 year old striker was the first Indegenous Australian to score at a World Cup (2011).

5. Jonelle Filigno

Jonelle Filigno

The Canadian star. Part of the side that won bronze at the 2012 Olympics.  The Sky Blue attacking midfielder is also goal laden. Having attended Rutgerd University she left her mark there as the leading scorer of game winning goals (17).

4. Alex Morgan

The youngest player at the 2011 Football World Cup for the US. She scored a record breaking goal in the 123rd minute against Canada during the Olympics.  She has been a FIFA player of the year finalist in the same year, 2012 and the best female US player.

3. Anouk Hoogendijk

2.Selina Wagner

Selina Wagner

The Germany international is one of the stars of her side. She has come up from the ranks and has had a shoot with playboy. Enough said.

10. The Newcastle fight

Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer

Special I tell you. I was shocked to see two teammates Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer fist it out. A red card for each the reward. One of the rare sights during a football match!


9. Cameroon Wrestle-Mania

With allegations of match fixing circling the African side it was sad to see Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Benjamin Moukandjo have a dispute on the field with teammate Pierre Webo having to stop the two. Did someone bet on a red card or two? Embarrassment to their country!


8. Beach ball incident

Pepe Reina

One of the funniest I must admit. Sunderland vs Liverpool as Darrent Bent's shot struck a beach ball and deflected past Pepe Reina. Mike Jones the guilty referee was dropped to the Championship!


7. Phil Brown half-time talk


Later a goal celebration by Jimmy Bullard.  Hull were trailing to hosts Manchester City 4-0 and this saw Manager Phil Brown sit the team on a pitch and give them a finger wagging talk. Did curb the damage; Hull lost 5-1.


6. Suarez looking for fourth bite victim?

Not once, twice but three times. One of the most devastating finishers in the World. The Barcelona striker has been involved in biting at Ajax, Liverpool and for his country Uruguay. We await his next victim in Barcelona colors! I sure hope it is Pepe in the clash against Real Madrid!!


5. Alan Pardew headbutt


The manager of Newcastle was banned Seven games and given a hefty fine. Why? He headbutted a Hull player on the touchline. This was yet another of his indiscretions. Unnecessary as they were winning.

4. Zidane vs Materazzi

One of the greatest players of his age. He was prone to a red card and who would have thought of such behavior in a World Cup final? It was a little bit of banter between Zinedine Zidane and Italian Marco Materazzi when the french maestro just turned and headbutts Marco's chest. A living memory from World Cup 2006!

3. Ball boy scores!


 Silvia Regina de Oliveira was the first female to referee the Brazilian National Championship. In 2006, Atletico Sorocaba led Santacruzense by a goal. In a last attempt on goal to get an equalizer which saw the trailing side miss just wide. A ball boy ran on the pitch and side footed into the net. The referee had her back turned, assumed ball had gone in and it ended 1-1. The result was held up and referees suspended. Bizarre!

2. King Cantona
He took enough abuse from the fans. He decided to deal with it personally.  Getting a red was bad enough but having to send a double-footed kung-fu kick to an abusive fan, then threw a punch was one of the most outrageous scenes at Selhurst Park.

1.Karl Power the man!
In 2001 an unemployed laborer walked out at the Olympic Stadium with the Manchester United team. He not only had a picture taken on this European night but avoided being noticed, went on to be on the field at Lords and played tennis at Wimbledon.  What an opportunistic character.
