This is the smartest footballer of the World Cup and nobody knows him

The television is always on. Always. Because, yes: 22 men are running after a ball and that is of world importance. The World Cup is not for everyone. I find it quite okay to watch Ronaldo (sorry, yes, really) score all sorts of complicated goals and then take off his shirt. Fine. But when I have to see the summary of Senegal against Japan, I do tune out for a moment. My friend does not. No way. He is calmly watching the replay of the post-match analysis of the friendly match between Poland and Australia. Without any signs of boredom. In fact: he then texts his friends about that post-match analysis. It keeps them busy. Day and night.

Yet there is hope for us women in these bitter football times. Because no, Orange is not participating and so we cannot do the polonaise in the pub in our orange outfits while the men shout at the screen. Unfortunately. That will certainly take another two years. But now there is indeed something else going on. Pay attention. The goalkeeper of Switzerland. Forget offside. This is actually everything you need to know about football.

Roman Bürki is in the Swiss goal and is also doing quite well off the field. On Instagram, the best guy has more than 600,000 followers and that is understandable. Because hello handsome face, hello toned body and hello sexy photos. You don't want to miss this.

Do you want more types like Roman?

These are the 6 hottest footballers participating in this World Cup:

1. Roman, of course. It really can't be helped that he is number 1. Who is David Beckham again? No idea. But this is his successor.
