Irina Shayk (Cristiano Ronaldo)
Arguably
the most famous of the WAGs in Brazil this summer, it takes quite
something to draw the attention away from Ronaldo but Russian supermodel
Irina Shayk manages to do just that.
The
power couple, who have been dating since 2010, recently posed in a racy
photoshoot for Spanish Vogue by famous photographer Mario Testino.
Shayk shot to fame after starring in the video for Kanye West’s hit Power back in 2010.
Shakira (Gerard Pique)
The
pair met while filming the video for Shakira’s 2010 World Cup song,
Waka Waka, and began dating soon after that tournament, which was won by
the Barcelona centre-back and his Spanish team-mates.
Their
family trophy cabinet must be a sight to behold, with the Colombian
singer having sold more than 70 million worldwide and winning a host of
international awards, while Pique has won European Championships and a
World Cup with Spain and triumphed three times in the Champions League.
Despite
the reception to Waka Waka, Pique has starred in the video for
Shakira’s offering for the Brazil World Cup, the imaginatively named La,
La, La.
Hips don't lie! Colombian music star Shakira has sold more than 70 million records worldwide
Bruna Marquezine (Neymar)
Despite
a patchy end to the domestic season, which saw Neymar split up with
soap star girlfriend Bruna Marquezine and fail to hold down a starting
place in Barcelona’s first team, the Brazil star appears to be getting
things back on track both on and off the pitch.
Reports
that Neymar had started dating 20-year-old model Gabriella Lenzi seemed
off the mark, after Marquezine was spotted with the forward earlier
this week.
The 18-year-old watched Neymar and his Brazil team-mates train and the pair were pictured kissing after the session ended.

Ann-Kathrin Brommel (Mario Gotze)
As
a model, singer and blogger – young German star Gotze’s girlfriend
showed herself as a talented woman before hooking up with the
22-year-old in Ibiza.
Brommel
is just as versatile as her boyfriend - who has appeared as a false
nine for Germany and Bayern Munich – and lists her hobbies as jogging,
singing, cooking and piano playing.
Appearances in FHM have brought her a worldwide following while she attempts to crack Germany under her singing alias, Trina B.
Talent: Mario Gotze's girlfriend Ann-Kathrin Brommel is a model, singer and blogger
Antonella Roccuzzo (Lionel Messi)
The
three-time Ballon d’Or winner met Antonella before he achieved global
fame with a ball at his feet having grown up together in the Argentine
town of Rosario.
They started dating in 2008 and in 2012 had their first child together, whom they named Thiago.
In
enemy territory this summer, Antonella will be doing her best to keep
Messi calm and relaxed as Argentina aim to win their first World Cup
trophy since 1986.
Happy couple: Lionel Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo attend FIFA's Ballon d'Or gala in Zurich
Edurne Garcia Almagro (David De Gea)
Manchester United’s Player of Year boasts Spanish synthpop star Edurne as his other half.
The 28-year-old isn’t well known in England but can boast a top-five chart hit in her native Spain – with 2006’s ‘Despierta’.
Her
appearance at United’s end-of-season dinner turned heads in a sparkly
red outfit but she might not see much of her man at the World Cup – De
Gea is likely to be third choice ‘keeper for Spain.
Glittering: Edurne Garcia's sparkly red outfit (left) at United's player of the year awards drew some attention
Carla Kompany (Vincent Kompany)
Proud
Mancunian Higgs considers herself to be Belgian and is a self-professed
sports lover, so it will be no surprise to see her in the stands in
Brazil.
The
radio presenter might even be seen in a red sweater that she has
sported for Kompany’s Belgium games in the past and has already said she
thinks the Red Devils can go far.
Higgs
first met the Belgium captain when he was playing for Hamburg and – as a
lifelong City fan – is believed to be a big influence in his career.
Partner: Carla Kompany is a radio presenter and proud Mancunian who loves sport
Sara Carbonero (Iker Casillas)
Once
voted the world’s sexiest journalist, Carbonero will provide Spain’s
captain with a decent distraction, should he have little to do as the
champion’s dominate possession in Brazil.
At
the last World Cup the 29-year-old beauty was accused of disrupting
Casillas in Spain’s surprise 1-0 defeat to Switzerland after filming
around the goalmouth.
It
didn’t seem to affect him too much though and the Real Madrid ‘keeper
greeted his wife with a kiss in their post-match interview after their
win in the final.
Family matters: Iker Casillas and journalist girlfriend Sara Carbonero celebrate the christening of their child
Michela Quattrociocche (Alberto Aquilani)
Typically stylish, the Italian midfielder has been with Quattrociocche since before his ill-fated move to Liverpool in 2009.
He
married the Italian film actress shortly after his switch from Roma and
she gave birth to their first child, Aurora, in 2011.
Speaking
about their relationship, Michela said: 'Alberto is the most important
love story in my life. Ours is a connection like one in a film. Ours is a
love that gives your cramps in the stomach.'

daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur known as the King of Ibiza, Yolanthe

years older than Fabregas, Daniella left millionaire husband Elie

pictures of her kissing the Spain international.
Last
year she gave birth to a daughter, Lia, while Fabregas was playing for
Barcelona in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
Daniella, a regular in gossip magazines, is known to her friends as Queen DD because of her expansive cleavage.
Moving on: Daniella Semaan left a millionaire husband in 2011 to be with Cesc Fabregas
Fanny Neguesha (Mario Balotelli)
Are they on? Are they off? Who knows.
The
erratic Italian’s girlfriend has a similar wild-child reputation to her
partner and even made it clear on social media she was single during
earlier relationship troubles.
Her racy photos on Instagram have brought in 2875 followers including shots of her and the former-Manchester City striker.
After
hitting the headlines as a bit of a playboy, Neguesha appears to be the
woman who has tamed Balotelli and he has previously said 'I could spend
my whole life with someone like this.'
On and off: Fanny Neguesha was in Brazil this time last year to support Mario at the Confederations Cup (left)
Leticia Sahagun (Javier Hernandez)
Chicharito’s WAG will be looking forward to the short trip to Brazil from her Mexican home.
Despite
the goal-poacher’s move to Manchester four years ago, Sahagun has
stayed in Central America – although the two frequently reach out to
each other to profess their love on Twitter.
They
tend to keep their relationship private – although the couple were
snapped together at United’s Player of the Year dinner last month.
On the road: Lety Sahagun syated in Central America even when Javier Hernandez left for Europe
Amra Silajdzic (Edin Dzeko)
City striker Dzeko isn’t too keen on the limelight off the pitch – but his Bosnian beauty girlfriend is very different.
In
fact, reports back at home hinted at an argument earlier this year
after she posted a photo of the pair kissing on Instagram – something
Dzeko took exception too.
The model and actress speaks Bosnian, French and English and helped the towering striker celebrate City’s title win in style.
Partner: City striker Edin Dzeko is dating Amra Silajdzic, who speaks Bosnian, French and English
Evangelina Anderson (Martin Demichelis)
Argentine
model Anderson stands at just a tiny 4ft9 compared to her 6ft boyfriend
– and finally has more hair than him after he gave his mop the chop.
The
30-year-old got a much better reception on the pitch at City’s victory
party than Demichelis in his early days before he turned the fans
around.
And
Anderson will be hoping she again proves a lucky charm as Argentina
look to ruin the party in the Maracana at the final next month.

Pilar Rubio (Sergio Ramos)
Rubio
is a familiar face in Spain due to her work as a television presenter –
but she keeps a low-profile in her relationship with Champions
League-winner Ramos.
Despite
that, Ramos made an impromptu appearance on her television show singing
Flamenco to her and playing guitar earlier this season.
Sadly she could end up missing the World Cup in order to look after their new-born son, Sergio Junior.
Familiar face: Sergio Ramos' other half Pilar Rubio is a television presenter and model
Sam Cooke (Chris Smalling)
Smalling may have come under criticism for his poor showing
in England’s friendly against Ecuador last night, but the Manchester United
defender will no doubt have been consoled by his Page 3 girlfriend Sam Cooke.
Glamour model Cooke, 29, has been posing for cameras for
eight years but she reportedly plans to disappoint her fans by ditching her
modelling career in order to focus on DJing.
In the past she has worked with famous Ibiza club promoters
HedKandi.

Laia Grassi (Alexis Sanchez)
Talented art director and designer Grassi got together with Chile’s Sanchez after his move to Barcelona in 2011.

Chile

partner in the stands then they could spring a surprise.
Social media: Alexis Sanchez's partner Laia Grassi has shared a lot of images of herself on Instagram
Sarah Brandner (Bastian Schweinsteiger)
German model Sarah Brandner first coupled up with Bayern Munich midfielder Schweinsteiger on a holiday to party island Ibiza.

5ft11 blonde is often seen cheering on her boyfriend at matches for
club and country – and will inevitably draw the camera’s eye in the
stands in Brazil.
She
admitted in an interview with GQ that her appearances at the European
Championships two years ago led to ‘hordes of men’ chasing her.
Presenting: Bastian Schweinsteiger first coupled with partner Sarah Brandner in Ibiza

man Prince-Boateng has tended to miss games due to the amount of sex he
has with his television presenter wife.Satta, 27, has been with the Ghanaian international since 2011 and less than a year into the relationship revealed that he picks up minor injuries during their ‘seven to 10 times a week’ sex sessions.

Bethany Dempsey (Clint Dempsey)
Dempsey’s
wife Bethany is not your typical WAG. The mother-of-two has brains to
match her beauty, with a Master’s Degree to show for it.
And when USA forward Dempsey moved to England to join Fulham in 2007 she completed an internship in educational psychology.

edition of Sports Illustrated before the last World Cup in 2010.

Claire Koscielny (Laurent Koscielny)
No
doubt disappointed to wave goodbye to her partner-in-crime Ludivine
Sagna after Bacary opted not to extend his stay at Arsenal, Claire
Koscielny will have to find a new WAG to take pictures with while her
husband Laurent is marshalling the Gunners’ defence next season.
For
this summer though, the two glamorous wives will be cheering on their
other halves together as France try and erase the memory of their poor
showing at the last World Cup with a decent showing in Brazil.
