In case you haven’t , we’ve compiled a list our favourite 10 hottest footballers, especially for your viewing pleasure. Here’s the ultimate dream team!

Not into it yet? Check out our beginner’s guide to the FIFA World Cup and get started!

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior – Brazil

Neymar is the poster boy for this World Cup – lucky us. He’s so cute, you just want to help him up every time he takes a tumble. But his killer smile and his eyes are what will really get you. Even the fashionistas are recognising his potential – he’s dominated magazine covers in the build-up to the World Cup, from GQ to Vogue.

Cristiano Ronaldo – Portugal

Perfectly coiffed, and with dreamy abs and a chiseled jaw, this one always knows where the cameras are but we aren’t complaining! Luckily for us ladies, he loves showing off his body. In fact, after launching his own underwear line named CR7, Christiano’s on billboards all around the world in nothing but his tighty whiteys.

Olivier Giroud – France

There’s a Buzzfeed article called “Meet Olivier Giroud, the Really, Really Ridiculously Good Looking Footballer” – read it and you’ll understand why we swoon we see him! He was also involved in a cheating scandal a few months ago too…but we all love a bad boy, don’t we?

Sergio Ramos – Spain

He’s had some cringe-worthy hairstyles in the past but now that he’s got it together Sergio’s made us sit up and notice. Then there’s also that body! His abs are so pronounced it’s like they’ve been painted on (bonus for us, he’s not afraid to show them)!

Ezequiel Lavezzi – Argentina

There’s just something about Ezequiel and no, it’s not his impressive facial hair. This Argentinean has a mischievous air about him, so that, coupled with his good looks, makes us think he’d be so much fun to hang out with.

Claudio Marchisio – Italy

The Italians are always going to represent in this category and Claudio’s dreamy blue eyes will be enough to convince you to back the Claudio. He also looks amazing in a suit, so we reckon that if this football thing doesn’t work out we’d definitely petition on his behalf to join Harvey Specter and co

Gerard Piqué – Spain

Shakira did warn the world that her hips don’t lie and we’re more certain than ever because, man, did she pick a winner! Those eyes, the lips, the facial hair – we could stare at Gerard for days, and after you see how cute he is with his baby mama Shak, you’ll love him even more.

Sergio Agüero – Argentina

Messi is king in Argentina but Sergio’s just as loved. He has a son with Diego Maradona’s daughter and he’s one hot papi! If you have a thing for dimples and a mega-watt smile, then Sergio Agüero is your baller of choice.

Kevin Prince Boateng – Ghana

What is it about tattoos? Kevin’s brother Jerome plays in the German national team and oozes cool, but Kevin’s inked bod, crazy hair and bad boy aura helps him edge out his sibling on this list.

Andrea Pirlo

This guy proves that class is permanent. On the field he has it in spades but off the field, he’s very much the older guy we’d all crush on. Plus, he’s so cool he probably gets out of the shower fully-clothed.
