The AFF Suzuki Cup is kicking off this November 19th and we’ve written a lot about the teams, the stadiums, the tactics and strategies. So this time around, we decided to shake things up a bit and look at the players themselves.
Since there will also be a lot of ladies watching, we thought it’s only fair to feature some of the hottest football players who will be gracing the fields end of the month.
