World Cup 2010: Bill Clinton poses with shirtless soccer hottie Carlos Bocanegra

Former President Bill Clinton lost his voice after screaming for the U.S. soccer team at the World Cup this week.

"I lost my voice yesterday. I had to come home and drink hot tea with honey for an hour," Clinton tells the AP. "I was very diplomatic until we scored, and then I was up there screaming and yelling with everybody."

After the U.S. victory, he shared a Budweiser with the players, including the shirtless, tattooed back Carlos Bocanegra, in the locker room. Bocanegra promptly posted the photo on his Facebook page.

Clinton went down to the locker room thinking he would just pop in and congratulate the team, but he ended up partying with the enthusiastic players.

"They said, 'Hang around until we finish all this and drink a beer with us. Nobody ever does that.' And so I said 'OK,'" Clinton says. "... In the locker room, all they talked about is how they played as a team. The team wasn't going to give up. The team. I was really impressed with that. I found them immensely impressive."

Clinton had so much fun, he planned to stay for Saturday's match against Ghana. If he poses for another photo with hunky hot Carlos, we're gonna be really jealous.
