There's no escaping the long hours of football on television.

Beyond the footballing action there's a little more on offer for non-football fans.

Yes, why not ogle at the stars on the pitch?

Some of the biggest names in the 'Beautiful game' are in Brazil and they look fine in their shorts too.

Rediff.com brings you the 10 hottest stars of the World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal, Forward,

Love his looks or hate his guts, but you cannot ignore him at this World Cup.

He and model girlfriend Irina Shayk were recently featured on the cover of Vogue magazine in Spain.

He likes to flaunt his pecs and does 3,000 sit-ups a day to get that six-pack. We wonder how much time he spends in front of the mirror.

As defending champions Spain bow out in the early rounds, Casillas will surely be missed.
