That's a 26 behind them. I only freak out when I see the number 23 anywhere.

Although there are 3 people in the picture. And 26 minus 3 is ... oh FUCK.... . .

It's because Clinton knows that Budweiser is a sponsor and he's intentionally showing the label on the beer bottle. Look how he has his fingers pulled back from the logo. He would hold it differently if he were actually drinking it.

Because it looks like a still shot from a porn shoot?

No, there's zero chance of a gay scandal.

If anyone is secure with his sexuality, it's Bill Clinton... I mean, come on. The guy is the fucking Joe Namath of politics. Bill could be wearing nylons and a fur coat in that picture and I'd still be afraid to leave him alone around my wife (if I was married, that is).

Just two guys enjoying beer and sports. One of them may be gay, but it sure as hell isn't Clinton.

Is it because Bill looks way drunker than Carlos?

Is it because Bocanegra may not know who that nice man is?

@14, your "pissed" Bocanegra told ESPN: "Former President Clinton came in the locker room afterward and had a few beers with us. And that was probably the highlight of my life. I'm not gonna lie. That was pretty sweet."

It's because no one ever poses with a former or sitting US President shirtless and holding a beer. There's a certain formality expected dealing with an office holder of that level.

Sure, Clinton probably bust into the room to meet Mr. Handsomey McWorkouterson or whatever his name is, but you almost never see a president or royalty associated with such virile, casual, hotness.

Oh, look, now I'm all bothered.

It's always a little jarring when two people are in very different stages of dress.

Anyone else assume that because bud sponsored it, there's bound to be free budweiser everywhere for after matches?

Also, this is the greatest picture that has ever been taken.

I am thinking Clinton wanted him to put on a blue dress and a black beret.

I'll tell you why; it's because after your eyes pop out of your head, drinking in every detail about Bocanegra's bare-chested hottitude (I mean, mm. MM.), your brain doesn't even get a chance to order blood to start rushing to your penis before your dumbass eyes continue to scan the scene and suddenly deliver to your brain the image of a familiar, geriatric, bulbous-nosed character whose recognition in turn evokes images of vaginas-n-cigars and other dick-softening miseries which show up looming in the visual cortex and end the party just starting in the hindbrain as fast and as sure as if the cops were rolling up in the driveway right when somebody's announcing that the toilet's overflowing. And then, your eyes, they never stop, those fuckers, they drift right back over to Bocanegra's nipples, and the no-attention-span hindbrain goes, "Oooh! What's *that*!?" and it all starts again...

I don't know who Carlos is, but he looks kinda like a super-buff Dan Savage.

The Budweiser didn't even register. I'm so disappointed in that hot guy and Bill Clinton.

Bocanegra posted this photo to his facebook page with the caption: "Pretty sweet way to celebrate winning the group and advancing."

Maybe because BJ Klinton - the first pro-homosexual President - turns on a out and proud homosexual.

You want to have to sex with Bill Clinton, don;t you Dan?

ROTFLMAO!!!

@29 - That was my first thought! Actually, my first thought was, "Dan met Bill Clinton!" and then "Why is Dan shirtless?" and then "I had no idea he was all tattooed like that" and finally, "Ohhhh, that's not Dan!"

I clearly wasn't paying enough attention to his face... :-P

It's because Clinton looks way drunker than Bocanegra, and Bocanegra has this slightly-devious look in his eyes like, "Why did you have to photograph me while I'm getting Bill Clinton drunk?"

I think Carlos would have much better taste, though tattoos are just really getting old at this point.

They used to be trendy and edgy until everyone got them. Now it's just more conformity.

Mr. Hotness is probably thinking "Damn, I wish Heineken was our sponsor"

soccer players are seriously the most physically attractive men ever to walk the earth. EVER. bocanegra...purrrr...too bad the US lost today - dwindles our chances of seeing on the teevee such a specimen without his shirt on again.

The president looks SOOO HAPPY with taking the pic with Carlos. Seriously, he's like a groopy getting lucky - Kind of funny, I must say...

Dan, do yourself a major favor (if you haven't already) and check out this World Cup series with Team USA in Interview Magazine. Delicious, dirty, shirtless Team USA for your viewing pleasure.

For Dan

A: The sight of a person with cardiac issues waving a beer around while appearing to be ever so slightly intoxicated triggers your "Think of your heath"-meter (You don't need to be in the health care profession to have that concern.)

or

B: You're imagining one of them on their knees and you can't figure out who to be more jealous of...
