Hottest National Team Player - WC Version

This thread is inspired by the Hottest USNT Player threads that have been living a long life over on the US Men's boards. Ladies, please post for us the best of the world's best.

The rules are simple and I hope you men will respect our right to feast our eyes on gorgeous specimens. How we bemoan the shirt removal yellow cards. We watch the various photo outlets like hawks, wait for cool new photos to post and swap, and if nothing's available, just post those same three photos of Boca and Demps everyone seems to enjoy. So, with the rules:

1. Trolling anywhere on BS is frowned upon. Posting pics from the infamous NYT photo spread has been done in the previous threads and laughed at, so get over it and move on.

2. A picture MUST be posted on every page. While talking about how hot our boys are is great, it's more stimulating to see how hot they are.

3. Give credit to the folks taking the pictures.

4. Players on the official rosters and alternates are suitable for posting. Legends of the past are also fine.

5. If it's the player's birthday, try to post a photo.

6. On a matchday, please avoid giving out scores of games until after 72 hours from the end of a given match. If in doubt, then use the "result" tags -- for those that don't know, it's done accordingly: [ result] yadda yadda yadda [ /result] (minus the spaces inside the opening bracket). Please note that this request applies to photo captions as well as to open discussions.
