ICYMI: The 2026 FIFA World Cup is in full swing! With 48 teams competing, there is no shortage of talented players on the field. And because there are *so* many ridiculously good-looking men on the rosters, I’ve chosen 23 guys that fans (including myself) cannot stop ~thirsting~ over. Here are the hottest men competing from around the globe:1. Lionel Messi is 38 years old. This is his sixth World Cup (the first men’s player to achieve this milestone!), and he’s currently competing for Argentina. Plus, he just set the record for the most World Cup goals after the double match against Austria.
