[custom_adv] Dele Alli (who goes by Dele) is considered one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Aside from his killer game, Dele also makes headlines for his fashion-forward style (enjoyed by his 3.6 million Instagram followers) and has recently launched his own clothing line, BoohooMan by Dele, which includes satin bombers, pastel suits, and printed hoodies. Dele Alli - Team: England Age: 22 [custom_adv] Known for: Rodríguez became a star at the 2014 World Cup after earning the top scorer spot at the championship and for the signature salsa moves he liked to perform after scoring a goal. As for his extracurricular activities, Rodríguez has just launched his own cryptocurrency called JR10, becoming the first active soccer player to dabble in blockchain. James Rodríguez - Team: Colombia Age: 26 [custom_adv] Admit it: You expected Cristiano Ronaldo’s name here, given that he’s one of the most famous—and famously sculpted, in more ways than one—footballers in the world. But we believe Ronaldo has already begun passing the torch to his fellow forward: Silva, 22, is a touch more rugged, has an impressive head of hair, and for what it’s worth, is clearly no stranger to abs himself. Portugal: Andre Silva [custom_adv] Ramin, 28, is a defender for Iran, another team that is thrilled just to be there but isn’t expected to go deep. So don’t miss his superb head-suit on the field; sometimes, he gets sculptural with it. Oh, and his triceps also seem extremely relevant to our collective interests. Iran: Ramin Rezaeian [custom_adv] Again, we ignored the obvious choice, Gerard Pique, a.k.a. Shakira’s hot piece. We all already know he’s a babe, because Shakira’s hips would never lie to us. Then we almost gave it to a dude who didn’t make the team, and thus, hearts broke across our office. Fortunately, Spain’s roster is lousy with dishes, so here’s veteran defender César Azpilicueta, 28, whom we think of as If Sebastian Stan Were A Sexy Baller. Check him out in a suit. Rowr. Spain: César Azpilicueta [custom_adv] Don’t let Antoine Griezmann’s 5-foot-9 stature fool you: He stands tall on the soccer field. Griezmann was named the world’s third-best player in 2016, in part because he led France to the finals of the 2016 European championship. Antoine Griezmann, France [custom_adv] Uruguay’s star player Luis Suarez is objectively handsome, but he’s also noteworthy for having intentionally bitten three people during games, and was suspended for what England’s Football Association terms “racial abuse.” (He also got in trouble for head-butting a ref, and for making obscene gestures. He’s… a lot.) Ergo, our nod goes to the much younger, much less problematic Nandez, 22, who both looks like he could easily star on a CW soap and also hasn’t attacked anyone with his teeth. Yet. Uruguay: Nahitan Nandez [custom_adv] Known for: Those lips! That hair! That smile! This dreamy Swiss goalkeeper (and Rafa Nadal look alike) started playing soccer when he was just 5 years old and is considered one of the team’s biggest assets. But Sommer doesn’t only live and breathe sports, turns out, he also has a lovely food blog full of healthy recipes! (Excuse us while we daydream about Yann in our kitchen.) Yann Sommer - Team: Switzerland Age: 29 [custom_adv] Ronaldo also wants to stake his claim as the best player ever, and he has an advantage in that he captained Portugal to the European championship in 2016. But Portugal has a tough draw against Spain early on and a difficult road to the final, should the team progress out of the group stage. Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal [custom_adv] CALM DOWN, Argentina fans: We love Lionel Messi, too, and we’re not trying to poke the devotees. But he is on his way out of international competition—he already briefly retired once in 2016—and it might be time to steel ourselves against that future loss by giving our hearts elsewhere. So, in the name of branching out, Marcos is an excellent (and excellently coiffed) option. Argentina: Marcos Rojo [custom_adv] Listen, it's not the World Cup without a dude you think is good-looking despite his man-bun. And, to borrow from Zoolander, Rúrik is really, really ridiculously good looking. Iceland: Rúrik Gíslason [custom_adv] As a child, Mutō joined FC Tokyo's youth system, where he kept developing until 2010. He then enrolled in the Faculty of Economics of Keio University but kept playing football, for Keio's team. Despite an injury which sidelined him, in his first season with Keio he won the "Rookie of the Year" title. In 2012 and 2013, FC Tokyo included him in their roster as a "Special Designated Player", an option that allows JLeague clubs to field university players without a professional contract. However, he got on the pitch just once, at the end of a match in July 2013. Japan: Yoshinori Muto [custom_adv] Cristian is undeniably handsome, but he also gets bonus points for having fantastic eyebrows. Costa Rica: Cristian Gambo [custom_adv] Neymar is extremely good at soccer, but noting that he's highly skilled in his profession of choice shouldn't also preclude us from ogling him. We can multitask. Brazil: Neymar Jr. [custom_adv] It's fine. This dude just literally looks like a Disney prince. NBD. Switzerland: Fabian Schär [custom_adv] Kim is listed at 6’5”, so he’s not just a refreshing drink of water; he’s also the proverbial tall one. He’s also apparently been nicknamed “Christian brother” by his teammates for the fact that he reads the Bible before games. Which is neither here nor there, but since we just endorsed a dude who might have ties to drug lords, we wanted you to know our tastes run to the virtuous, too. South Korea: Kim Shin-wook [custom_adv] Thorgan is a 25-year-old midfielder who’s been nicknamed “Toto,” and y’all, that’s fine, because we are definitely not in Kansas anymore. Belgium: Thorgan Hazard [custom_adv] This was a toughie. On the one hand, Butland, the 25-year old keeper, has more than a soupçon of Young David Beckham about him; on the other, BEHOLD RUBEN’S QUADS. And they both have such great names (Butland Loftus-Cheek would make a fantastic ad agency). In the end, we’ve decided this decision is above our emotional pay grade and we’re choosing them both. England: Jack Butland
