The FIFA World Cup has officially kicked off in Russia. The athletes in this competition are all incredible on the field, but have you noticed a lot of them are also very easy on the eyes?
We’ve done the hard work for you (and trust us, it wasn’t easy to pick), looking through the teams of gorgeous men to narrow it down to the sizzling top 10.
Ladies and gentlemen, we present the sexiest players of 2018.
1. Joshua Risdon, Australia
Of course, we were always going to support the Aussie team but an athletic fullback like Joshua Ridson just makes it all that much easier to keep our eyes on the field.
2. Olivier Giroud, France
We knew the players on the French team were going to be steaming hot, but powerful forward Olivier Giroud is taking it to a whole new level.
3. Gerard Pique, Spain
Sorry. Did you say something? We were lost in this Spanish soccer player’s eyes.
4. Andre Silva, Portugal
Suddenly I feel like the Portuguese team needs our undivided attention. Soccer really is good for the abs.
5. Nicolai Jorgensen, Denmark
This sexy Scandinavian alone is reason enough to watch the cup.
7. Alireza jahanbakhsh , Iran
Even with his shirt on, this Iranian player is mighty fine to watch on the field.
8. Neymar Jr, Brazil
It’s men like Neymar that make us thankful that soccer players feel the need to take their shirts off to celebrate a victory.
9. Andre Carrillo, Peru
Oh, and guys like Andre Carrillo too.
10. Fabian schar, Switzerland
Why so serious Fabian? It’s ok, you pull off blue steel so well.
And because realistically it’s not fair to narrow it down to 10, we are throwing in a bonus image of Japan’s gorgeous Yoshinori mutō just to leave you smiling.
All of these guys are captivating , it’s true. But flick on the 2018 World Cup any time over the next month and you’ll realise that sexy and soccer just kind of go together.
