Is soccer our new favorite sport? The internet can't stop thirsting over these 'World Cup hotties.'
"This is my official declaration of the sexiest player from each World Cup team," one TikToker said in her video.

..."Every four years, I am reminded of the fact that there are just so many hot men out there," content creator Emma Oyomba said after watching the South Korea and Czech Republic game. "Now I have to go to the Czech Republic and hell, I'm gonna go to South Korea too 'cause they can get it too. I will be tuning in and I will be supporting based on looks." ....Oyomba isn't alone in supporting teams based on looks. TikTok is saturated with videos of content creators outlining their lists of "World Cup hotties" to help determine the teams to cheer for during the tournament. "This is my official declaration of the sexiest player from each World Cup team," Lena Sun said in her video. "As a disclaimer, I usually only look at team roster photos but to ensure accurate reporting, I've consulted not only gameplay but players' social media profiles." "He plays for South Korea, he's 28 years old and his position is a striker," Morazan said in a TikTok video. "His red flag is that he went extremely viral on social media, so there is a lot of competition for him. His green flag is that he's extremely soft-spoken and shy." "I found that South Korea's stats are quite impressive," Samantha Leshell said in her video, playfully referring to the players' physical appeal. "Honestly, when I was looking at their stats, I was like, 'Oh, the athleticism that this team has. Mmm. Just… athletic.'"
