It is truly a wonder why more women tend to watch the World Cup compared to other international tournaments, despite the fact that they do not know half of the players. Thousands of fans gather every four years to see the newest handsome striker or goalkeeper that each country has to offer.

Polls were conducted to determine which ones were the hottest worldwide.

1. Neymar

The star forward of the host country has a rugged attractive appearance, with his tattoos, ruffled faux hawk and darting eyes. He looks good in his green and yellow uniform and heat things up more when he takes his shirt off to reveal the matching colored underwear. He is frequently called the next Pele, combining both good looks and superstar skills.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo

The forward of the Portuguese team is the most famous in the list. The team captain has emerged to become as popular as David Beckham, sporting hairstyles that whole nations follow. His greek-god body also made him the easy choice for underwear brands. He has appeared in several magazines and was even included in the 2014 Forbes list. He has over 80 million fans on Facebook. It also will not hurt to note that he is arguably the best player in the sport today.

3. Gerard Pique

In a report by Emirates 247, the Spanish defender looks more like a Hollywood actor than a soccer player. He has perfect blue eyes, the Ken-style dark brown hair and great teeth. He maintains his facial hair to give him more character and keep his personality shrouded in mystery. His girlfriend, Shakira, also adds to his hot player bonus points.

4. James Rodriguez

The superstar of the 2014 FIFA World Cup is quickly adding fans to his list. He has been the most amazing scorer in the tournament so far. The 22-year-old Colombian player is reminiscent of a younger and fresher Ronaldo. He has that innocent appearance which is quickly overcome by his monstrous performance on the field. He is set to be offered the Golden Boot soon.

5. Sergio Ramos

In a report by Liberty Voice, more female fans watch the Spanish team more than any other because of their hot roster of stars. Sergio Ramos featured a new kind of faux hawk while keeping the beard that his fans drooled over. Despite his inconsistent plays at the World Cup, he still looks good.
