There’s no doubt that Robin Van Persie is a world class striker. Bought by Arsenal in 2004, he began to display his full array of talent once Thierry Henry left the club in 2007. Often injured early on, his 2011 and 2012 seasons were brilliant and he was the leading goal scorer with 30 in 2012.

We give up. It’s officially impossible to figure out Hope Solo’s dating life. During the 2011 Women’s World Cup run, we learned that Hope Solo was dating Adrian Galaviz, though their relationship has been in and out of the press, and appears to have been that of the on again off again variety. There were rumors of Hope hooking up with her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy during her stint on Dancing With The Stars, which was…
While some may say this is just an excuse to get more pictures of Rihanna on the site (and who could blame us), there actually is a sports related theme to RihRhi’s dating history.

Both Kaka and Caroline are very religious and openly celebrate their Christian faith. In 2007, Kaka proudly announced that…
Once again we learn a very important lesson from Brazilian and Barcelona defender Dani Alves. If you are going to get a tattoo of a woman on your arm please make sure the relationship will last. Do you have any idea how bad tattoo removal hurts? Not that we’d know, but everyone says it hurts!! Sadly Dani is learning this lesson the hard way. After 3 years of marriage and two children Dani and Dina…
Victor Valdes has drawn the attention of female fans in Barcelona for years now. Their excitement is often piqued when they find out that Valdes is not technically married, only to have their glee plummet back to earth once they find out he’s in a committed long term relationship with a woman no man would be willing to stray from. Victor Valdes and Yolanda Cardona had their relationship explode onto the scene when they did…
Hope Solo has had a whirlwind 13 month stretch. Things began with Solo and her USA teammates finishing as a runner up in the 2011 Women’s World Cup, which elevated Solo to a position to make a successful Dancing With the Stars run. Things culminated with Solo minding net for Team USA at the 2012 London Olympics where she helped pull down her second gold medal. Out of the spotlight, things have stayed just as…
