With 4-0 in our pocket, we are rolling up our sleeves to go to Germany to sweep Poland off the mat in Hamburg on Sunday. I always wonder what it must be like to be a partner, with the eyes of the world on your loved one and thus also a bit on you. I selected four favorite football wives for my Amayzine lineup.

1. Annekee Molenaar – The stylish partner of Matthijs de Ligt
Annekee Molenaar, the fresh bride of Matthijs de Ligt, is a successful model and a fashion icon. Here we wrote about their beautiful wedding. She shares her fashion choices and styling tips for her 421k followers on Instagram. A funny fact is that Matthijs often jokes that he never has to think about his clothes because Annekee always chooses what he should wear. And during the European Championship, that task naturally falls away and Matthijs wears his lion costume.

2. Nadine Bambergen – the partner of Steven Berghuis
While football wives are sometimes accused of finding money very attractive, you can't say that about Nadine Bamberger. She is probably wealthier than her partner Steven Berghuis. Her father is the wealthy real estate developer Lesley Bamberger of the Kroonenberg Group. Nadine also has no discoverable Instagram account and protects her privacy, although Steven sometimes shares a proud snapshot of his girl.

3. Candy-Rae Fleur Blind – the beautiful wife of Daley Blind
Candy-Rae is a dancer and thus understands the great love her husband has for sports and the sacrifices that top sports sometimes entail. Candy-Rae and Daley already have a son and a daughter and are expecting their third child. Follow Candy-Rae especially if you want to see a less polished life.

4. Rike Nooitgedacht – the wife of Virgil van Dijk
What an incredible presence Virgil van Dijk has. I think I could fit into that man twice. His wife Rike will undoubtedly also have a lot to say about the sacrifices you have to make as a partner for the career of a top athlete. Rike has deleted her public Instagram account and quit her job to follow her husband to all the top clubs. Now, with a transfer of 84.5 million from Southampton to Liverpool, Virgil is the second highest-paid defender in the world, so we don't need to feel sorry for the family in that respect.

It's just that Davey Klaassen is not in the lineup, otherwise his wife, with whom he just got married, would certainly also have been our favorite.
