World cup in pink. The wives and girlfriends of the Azzurri

Footballers, as we know, have always been considered among the most sensual men on the planet. Sculpted and muscular physique and macho attitude make soccer players as true icons loved all over the world as well as the most famous actors and singers. But, in addition to this certainty, another inevitably follows: footballers always get engaged to the most fascinating and sexy women in the world. The couples David Beckham-Victoria Adams and Cristiano Ronaldo-Irina Shayk are just two famous examples of a long list.

And precisely on the occasion of the world championships that are being played in Brazil these days, we have decided to create a gallery dedicated to our most famous Azzurri and their companions, or Wags, a technical term to indicate the sweet halves of the most prominent sportsmen. Some of these love stories have occupied the gossip column of recent months, from Buffon's divorce from Alena Seredova with the consequent gossip of "love with the journalist Ilaria D" Amico, to Mario Balotelli's on-off relationship with Fanny Neguesha, now close to the wedding, up to the delicate sentimental situation of Andrea Pirlo, who despite his shy and reserved character, found himself on the national tabloids for the end of his marriage with Deborah Roversi and the love for the Turin prince Valentina Baldini.

But alongside these troubled love stories and in the spotlight, there are also players with a more stable and quiet private life, such as Antonio Cassano, Alberto Aquilani and Claudio Marchisio, happily engaged for a long time and with children. Unfortunately for us, also another sexy blue footballer is busy and even a new dad. We are talking about Daniele De Rossi, companion of the actress Sarah Felberbaum, with whom he had a daughter, Olivia, only a few months ago.

Here is the gallery of the players of the Italian national team and their ladies.
