With the World Cup just weeks away, the lingerie version of the tournament took place on Saturday.

A host of scantliy-clad beauties represented their countries at the competition and the lucky referee was former Holland international Andy van der Meyde.

The ex-Everton wideman officiated the games in his home nation and appeared to enjoy the role as he laughed and joked with the players.

Having signed for Everton from Inter Milan in 2005 after the Blues finished fourth, Van der Meyde, now 34, stuggled during his four-year spell at Goodison Park and made just 20 appearances in four years on Merseyside.

Women from Brazil, Germany, Spain, Germny, Italy, South Korea, Algeria and Russia took part in the 4-a-side competition last weekend as hosts Holland claimed victory.

Robin van Persie and co will be hoping to repeat the feat achieved by their female compatriots at this summer’s World Cup.

Holland, managed by Louis van Gaal who will take charge of Manchester United following the tournament in Brazil, face Chile, Australia and current world champions Spain in Group B.
