Just think where the world wouldn’t be without the United States of America. Actually, don’t answer that (because it would be too depressing to think about). To be fair, though, we do owe a lot of credit to Italy (Amerigo Vespucci) and Spain (Christopher Columbus) for first discovering ‘us’. That’s why we’re going to let you, our readers, decide who should lay claim to the Columbus Day Hottie Competition. We’ve pitted the three countries against each other in an epic showdown, a threeway that’s sure to get exciting. Check out the action after the jump!

Tonight marks one of the most highly anticipated friendly matches leading up to next month’s World Cup: The US vs. The Czech Republic. While we’re obviously cheering on the U.S team, we’re a little more confused as to who to cheer for when it comes to deciding which country has the hottest models. Help us out by checking out the insanely sexy competition and voting on which country deserves to take home the gold for beauty.
