Thank god cheerleading started off at a college and not a convent. Who knows where the sport would be if that was the case? Cheerleading is widley held to have began by a group of coeds at Princeton University in 1884. And throughout the 20th century, America has successfully exported this sexy sport/show all over the world. Because of this, fans from soccer to cricket to rugby, are able to enjoy the world’s most talented and beautiful women dancing half naked. But the question remains, which country has the best looking participants. Leave us a comment with your thoughts. Not to sway the voting, my favorite, is a tie between Latvia and Mexico:
Argentina
Typically, when Americans show their asses, it’s to mock their opponents. Apparently, Argentinean futbol cheerleaders show their asses to get a crowd fired up. This type of behavior is not uncommon for Argentinean cheerleading squads to display. As a result, the worst team in the premiere league can still sell out a stadium. Argentinean futbol fans can always be confident that, even if their team doesn’t win, they can expect to see some hot ass.
AustraliaMost men have always fantasized about holding up a hot cheerleader like these Australian Rugby cheerleaders are doing. But if we are honest with ourselves, this takes athleticism and skill most of us guys don’t posses. Sure, we are strong enough to hold up a cheerleader, but are we able to do it without wanting to cop a feel or starting a chubby?
BrazilFrom the rain forests to the Brazilian waxings, Brazil has blessed this world with so much. These beautiful, bronzed women performed a routine at the Men’s Beach Volleyball Final at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Though Brazil ended up losing to the gold medal to the USA, the Americans conceded that Brazil had the most beautiful cheerleaders. When the Americans made this concession, the Brazilian Team never looked more proud. The Brazilians then looked up into the cheering crowd and said, “You’re Welcome!”
ChileFor most people, Chile is an obscure, skinny little country, found somewhere in South America. Though this is the case, Chile has a nearly 115 year professional soccer history. The Chilean Professional Futbol League was established in 1895, and is the second oldest league in South America. Chilean cheerleaders are known for being tenacious and very athletic. This picture was taken during the half time break of the 2008 South American Beach Soccer Championship qualifier.
ChinaWay to go China! Not only did you impress us with your opening ceremony at the Olympics, but with your beautiful women as well. Nearly every sport had a specific cheer squad assigned to them. I guess this is possible when you’re the most populous nation in the world. China’s most scantly clad cheerleaders were found at the beach sports complex. Thankfully the weather was always hot, so the cheerleaders were always in their bikinis doing their best to keep the crowds excited.
EnglandWho knew England had a basketball league, let alone that English people knew what a basketball was? And for that matter, who knew England had enough pretty women to be cheerleaders? Judging from this picture above, I have underestimated our oldest ally. Not only is this cheerleader hot, but there are actual fans in the stands. Food for thought: If England would allow cheerleaders to cheer for their football clubs, more Americans might become soccer (football) fans.
FranceArguably, one of the most beautiful women in the world is pictured here. She performed a routine with her cheer squad at the 2008 Beach Soccer World Cup in Marsille, France. Their hot dance routines and small bikini’s have made these beach bikini dancers popular around the world. Thankfully we don’t have to wait every four years for this tournament to come around because it is held once a year. Let’s just hope the future host countries can continue to produce really hot beach bikini dancers for the world to enjoy.
GreeceMost cheerleaders in the world are talented, but what these Greek cheerleaders can do is exceptional. These girls are part of a basketball cheer squad that is known for pulling male fans out of the crowd and giving them lap dances. I just found another reason why I should visit Greece this summer.
India
Cheerleaders are a recent phenomena in India. Due to centuries-old modesty standards, it took a new upstart Cricket League to even consider the notion. In order to sell the entire league on the importance of cheerleaders, league organizers invited American football cheerleaders to perform. These American cheerleaders were also hired to mentor Indian women in the art of making a boring game like cricket exciting. It’s a good thing cheerleaders are in high demand in America, because if not, I am sure their jobs may be outsourced too.
JapanAs apart of the American Pro Bowl weekend festivities in Hawaii, Japan sends over a beautiful cheerleading squad to excite fans. One can only assume this is the NFL’s attempt to attract Japanese tourist support for yet another American pastime. Too bad these cheerleaders haven’t heard of our other popular American past time, breast implants.
LatviaThis beach volleyball cheer squad consists of some very hot Latvian women. Not only is Latvia known for having killer beach volleyball players, but killer looking women as well. Thankfully, the country became independent from the Soviet Union in 1989, thus allowing the Latvians to make a name for themselves on the world’s stage. After watching these women perform, crowds are known to roar with excitement and purchase mass amounts of Nestea.
MexicoAh, yes, the high leg kick. Whoever invented this move should have the cheerleading hall of fame named after them. Mexico’s Cruz Azul Cheerleaders have been performing this move to sold out crowds for years. This squad is known for their athletic skill and ability to remain in sync. The world holds up its proverbial bottle of Corona, and tips its sombrero in admiration of Cruz Azul’s high leg kicking ability.
New ZealandWith cheerleaders like these, New Zealand will soon be known for a lot more than Flight of the Conchords. These rugby cheerleaders keep fans engaged in one of the most brutal team sports on the planet. Even though the blond cheerleader in the background looks like she is from Whoville, New Zealand has been known to produce very beautiful women. There is nothing like bare-stomached cheerleaders juxtaposed on the backdrop of a professional rugby field.
PolandFormer communist countries either have very manish looking women, or very beautiful women - not a whole lot of in-between. Thankfully Poland has a lot of the latter. Polish Basketball cheerleaders routinely perform at games throughout their season. These cheerleaders are known to incorporate modern hip-hop moves with traditional polish dances. This combination proves to be very unique in comparison to what the cheerleading world has to offer.
RussiaEver since I can remember, I have always had a crush on Russian gymnasts. I think it had something to do with the cold war thing. Anyway, when I see Russian basketball cheerleaders I get the same feeling I used to have when I would watch the Russian gymnasts back in 1992. Russian cheerleaders are graceful and very strong, not to mention most of them are natural blondes. Which is something most American cheerleaders envy.
South AfricaAlt hough South Africa is famous for its savage rugby league, it also boasts some of the most beautiful cheerleaders in the world. The cheerleaders in the South African league are known to rival American Football cheerleaders in beauty and skill. Hopefully when the world cup goes to South Africa in 2010, FIFA will allow these girls to cheer on the world as they play soccer.
South KoreaSouth Korea gets the award for having the most adorable cheerleaders - not the hottest, but the most adorable. Anytime these cheerleaders perform, they are able to get the crowd roaring loud and thunder sticks roaring even louder. Maybe American baseball should take a cue form South Korea and adopt cheerleaders instead of mascots. If this was the case, then most baseball fans might actually show up at the beginning of the game and stay until the end.
SpainThe Spanish girls on this beach volleyball cheer squad deserve a standing ovation. Not only do they perform sexy dance routines, but they do it in the sand and in the hot sun. Most people understand that sand ends up in the most unlikely of places. Regardless of these tough conditions, these Spanish cheerleaders persevere and provide the highest quality entertainment. Oh, and by the way, most would agree that American beaches should make these bikini bottoms mandatory.Wonderful.
UkraineThe excitement on these girls’ faces when they perform is priceless. These Ukrainian basketball cheerleaders are very flexible, and as you can see, they don’t mind doing sexy chair dances in the middle of their half time shows. Furthermore, Ukrainian cheer routines often include the stripping off of clothes.
Venezuela Professional baseball has been played in Venezuela since 1945, and some of the best Major League Baseball players have come from this country. One distinguishing factor about Venezuelan Baseball is their use of cheerleaders in between, and during innings. Their routines have been known to incorporate nationalistic themes and Latin rhythms. Hopefully, Venezuela will soon start importing its baseball cheerleaders, as well as, its best baseball talent.
