She's not wearing the team's jersey. And not the shorts either...

247 – Canadian soccer isn't all that great, but it's gained fans worldwide in recent days thanks to a clever move by the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Pacific team produced a viral video in which a beautiful, smiling blonde appears adorned with the club's colors. Yes, that's right, adorned, because the blue and white on the model's stunning curves aren't the result of sewing machines, but rather paints, an airbrush, and a brush.

The production was designed to encourage fans to attend the team's debut in Major League Soccer, the Canadian league. The film opens with a message: "10 days until kickoff"; after taking your breath away from the images of the young woman, the club asks its supporters: "Where will you be on March 19th?". Yes, the Canadian season began last Saturday, and the model brought good luck to the Whitecaps. Playing at home, and with a full house, the team beat arch-rival Toronto 4-2. In the first half, Eric Hassli and Terry Dunfield secured a 2-1 lead for the home side. In the second half, Atiba Harris and Hassli again consolidated the victory over the eastern team, who scored a consolation goal through Brazilian Maicon Santos. If Vancouver's management has any sense, the blonde bombshell will become the team's mascot.
