Didier Drogba Age: 32
Team: Ivory Coast
Form: Didier is one of Chelsea's superstars, and he plays bass guitar in a band. So the striker is pretty darn cool.
Red-carded: A bit of a hothead, he has been involved in a series of controversial incidents on the pitch and is prone to sulks.
Significant other: He's been with wife Lalla since they were teenagers. They have three sons: Isaac, 11, Joel, eight, and Freddy, one.
Cristiano Ronaldo Age: 25
Team: Portugal
Form: Football's golden boy is as famous for his body as he is for his ball control. And, just in case you hadn't noticed, his legendary six-pack - so ripped you could grate cheese on it - is currently plastered on billboards across the country as part of the latest Armani campaign.
Red-carded: The midfielder is vain, he's mahogany and he loves wearing necklaces with his swimming trunks. Small wonder he's a gay icon.
Significant other: Where do we start? Cristiano has been linked to a string of A-listers including Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. He is currently dating stunning Italian model Raffaella Fico. But fear not, ladies, with his dating record it won't be long before he's on the market again.
Cesc Fabregas Age:23
Team: Spain
Form: Highly talented, Cesc was the youngest player ever to play football for Arsenal's first team when he broke into the squad at 16.And he's easy on the eye, too!
Red-carded: The attacking midfielder lives for the game. He says: "Football is my life. I care for my family, for my girlfriend. But when I am at home I watch football." Yawn!
Significant other: The aptly named Carla Cutie, a gymnast from Barcelona, who he's been with for six years.
David James Age: 39
Team: England
Form: England's number one...literally. David is goalkeeper for the national side. And despite being one of the oldest players in the tournament, he can still hold his own in the looks department.
Red-carded: He was spotted on dates with Hollyoaks' Claire Cooper (Jacqui McQueen) last year despite being in a long-term relationship.
Significant other: The love rat left wife Tanya for his now girlfriend Amanda Salmon in 2003. We can't keep up!
Benny Feilhaber Age:25
Team: US
Form: The Brazilian-born midfielder is a little dynamo on the pitch,so we can't help but wonder what other talents he may be blessed with.
Red-carded: Had to learn to control his temper and be a team player before his career took off.
Significant other: He's single. Hurrah! So if you can cope with his strops, there's everything to play for, ladies!
Fabio Cannavaro Age: 36
Team: Italy
Form: This Italian Stallion is as good at making pizzas as he is on the pitch. Red-carded: When asked about his ideal woman he said: "The most beautiful women lie in Asia, particularly in India and China. They are goddesses." Not good news for his Italian wife!
Significant other: He met his wife Daniela, 35, when he was 16 and she was 15, and they now have three kids.
Frank Lampard Age: 31
Team: England
Form: He's not just fit, but intelligent, with an IQ of 150. Frank's also not afraid to show his emotions and has spoken of his devastation at the death of his mum Pat, 58, in 2008.
Red-carded: The midfielder was accused of cheating on former fiancée, model Elen Rivas, twice. Once just after the birth of their second daughter Isla, now three.
Significant other: Frank split from Elen, 35, in 2009 and is now dating TV presenter Christine Bleakley, 31. Could she be The One?
Kaka Age: 28
Team: Brazil
Form: Boyishly handsome, the Brazilian lightning bolt is so-called because his brother couldn't pronounce his name as a child. Well, Ricardo Izecson is a mouthful.
Red-carded: Kaká puts other players to shame he's such a goody two-shoes!
Significant other: The attacking midfielder married his childhood sweetheart Caroline Celico in 2005, and they have a two-year-old son, Luca.
