Age: Both of them are 44 years old.

The Dutch twins have played together at Ajax,
Barcelona, Rangers, Al Rayyan, Al-Shamal, and the Dutch national team, sharing five Eredivisie titles, one La Liga and one Champions League between themselves.

Frank, who had a total of 112 international caps later went onto manage the team as well, but currently serves as Ajax’s first team manager. The bond between the two brothers is still unbroken with Ronaldo currently working as Ajax A1 assistant manager.

The Hazard Brothers

#11. Eden Hazard, Thorgan Hazard, Kylian Hazard and Ethan Hazard

Nationality: Belgian

Age: 23, 21, 19 and 11 respectively.

Eden Hazard is already a well known name all around the World, having drawn comparisons to Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo. The Chelsea attacker was also named the club’s best player for the 2013-14 season. Moving down the family tree, you have Thorgan, who is also signed up with Chelsea, but is now out on loan at Bundesliga side Gladbach.

Thorgan was named the player of the season in Belgium last year. Kyllan, who also is an attacking midfielder like Eden, currently represents Belgium side Sv Zulte-Waregem,
while 11-year-old Ethan is said to be following the footsteps of his brothers as well.

The Altintop Brothers

#12.Halil Altıntop and Hamit Altıntop

Nationality: Turkish

Age: Both of them are 31 years old.

The identical twins are both epitomes of the versatility Turkish players are associated to. Hamit, who was born ten minutes after Halil has played for many of the top European clubs, having played for Schalke, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Galatasaray, which is also his current club.

Halil too, has played for several clubs throughout his career, but currently represents FC Augsburg in the German Bundesliga. The duo have been regulars for the Turkish National team since 2004, and
share over 100 international caps between themselves.

The Gotze Brothers

13. Fabian Götze, Mario Götze and Felix Götze

Nationality: German

Age: 24, 22 and 16 respectively.

Fabian and Mario Götze are already well known in Germany, with the latter having recently scored the winner against Argentina helping Germany win the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Both of them had started their career with SC Ronsberg, followed by stints at FC Eintracht Hombruc and Borussia Dortmund.

Fabian than went on to play for two different clubs, and currently represents Unterhaching, a third division club in Germany. Mario, on the other hand, went on to earn immense success with Dortmund winning the Bundesliga with them twice in a row, and than moving onto arch rivals Bayern Munich. The youngest in the lot, Felix seems to be following his brother’s footsteps as he recently signed for Bayern Munich.

#14.The Hleb Brothers

Alexander Hleb and Vyacheslav Hleb

Nationality: Belarusian

Age: 33 and 31 respectively.

Maybe not as famous or successful as the other pairs in this list, the brother-duo of Alexander and Vyacheslav are two big heroes back in their nation with over 50 international caps each for Belarus. Alexander, who currently represents Konyaspor, a Turkish Super Ligue 1 club, is most known for his stints with Premier League side Arsenal and La Liga giants Barcelona, with whom he had won the Champions League and the domestic league title. He was also awarded the Belarusian Footballer of the year trophy six times in a row from 2002 to 2008.

Vyacheslav, on the other hand, hasn’t seem the same success like his brother, but has represented Belarus 45 times with 12 goals to his name.

“Help your brother’s boat across, and your own will reach the shore.”

The above is an old Hindu saying, and it rightly stands as "Having a brother grow up with you, you have someone to lean on, someone to count on, someone to tell on, or in this case, someone to play your first game with."

There have been several brothers in the history of the game who have both made it large in their life, from winning a domestic league together to seeing their other half leave their club.

In this article, we take a look at football’s most popular brothers:

The Bender Brothers

#15. Lars Bender and Sven Bender

Nationality: German

Age: Both of them are 25 years old.

The German twins have a lot of things similar, Lars Bender and Sven Bender were both born in 27th of April 1989 as twins, and the duo have a lot in common other than the club they represent. Both of them are defensive midfielders, and have represented Germany at the highest level even though they couldn’t make a cut for the squad that triumphed in the FIFA World Cup Brazil recently.

After starting their professional careers at 1860 München, the brothers parted ways after offers started coming in. Currently, Lars plays for Bayer Leverkusen, and is one of their marquee players with over 127 first team appearances. On the other hand, his brother, Sven plays for Borussia Dortmund with over
100 appearances for the Black and Yellows.

IGBOSON1: ^^^Yeah....they were just lucky to answer the most correct questions!

See your life!!

I clearly understand how u're feeling. U and ur state had never claimed that kind of prize before.

blackprowler: What kind of burden of a life are you ppl living. So everything is seen in terms of tribal rivalry. You know how many tribes are in Nigeria? Do you know tribe is taught and is not innate in human beings? Nigeria's problem is NOT the government; it is the stage of backwardness of it s people. Crude savages with imported modernity from rest of the modern world

U need psychiatric check up!

Those kids won with luck.... Congrat to them cos its their day.

Congratulations to the student from Ogun that came second. Am proud of u!

Omo egba re WA oooo!

Dbestmax: And Peace 2 u too..4 @least noting d problems although without solution...

How I wish I have the power to bring resolution to the war and the entire unrest? I bet I would have done it in a jiffy!

Hello my felow Nairalanders,

Presently, I believe that almost everybody knows there's a tragic battle going on in Europe between Russia and Ukraine. Also, Isreal has been using Gaza to test their new weapons (my opinion though).

However, in the midst of the war between the Russians and their Ukranian counterpart; the Downing of a Malaysia MH17 plane came into play where many innocent lives were lost (May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace). In which the reason behind the shooting down of the plane remained uncleared to me and to most of the world.

Now let's talk about The Causes, The Battles, The Dialogues and anything that can shed more light into the current Unrest in all the Four Nations.

We all could remember when the adoption of the Chiboks girls in Borno happened, almost the entire world sent their supports and condolences to our dear nation Nigeria with the #Bringbackourgirls Hashtag flying everywhere. Even though we're still anticipating for the returns of our girls (May God helps our Soldiers).

Now I believe is our turn to show support for the the four Nations involved in this present unrest.

Pray for Russia, Ukraine, Isreal and Gaza...

Peace in Russia, Peace in Ukraine, Peace in Isreal, Peace to Gaza and Peace to all.....

What's Fresh Air u people are shouting?

Obodo wasn't a flop. His long time injury sustained while playing for Nigeria rendered his time short. However, NFF couldn't do anything to help him then. His club has to take responsibility! @OP, abeg remove him from the list!

Congrat!

2. Natalia Velez rumored girlfriend of Radamal Falcao
Born in Ecuador, this Latin beauty moved to Colombia as a baby with her parents. Natalia Velez is best known for her work with GoDaddy, but she has been modelling from an
early age.

It was rumored that Natalia and Radamel Falcao were dating, however, Falcao is married to Lorelei Taron. Both deny that they dated and state that they don’t actually know
each other! Falcao is reported to be among one of the top strikers in the world. He plays for AS Monaco and it was an injury that ruled him out of representing the Colombian Team in the 2014 World Cup

3. Sara Carbonero & Iker Casillas
This Spanish TV presenter really made the headlines in the 2010 World Cup, when she was accused of distracting her Spanish boyfriend with her beauty during a match. His team went on to lose. Sara Carbonero interviewed her boyfriend, Iker, after the match, which brought her journalistic professionalism into question. She then became one of the most photographed people in the World Cup and was voted “The Sexiest Reporter in the World”.

Iker Casillas is the goalkeeper for the Spanish Team and Real Madrid. The couple have recently become parents to baby, Martin.

4. Bruna Marquezine Neymar Da Silva
Bruna Marquezine is a Brazilian soap opera star. She started acting at a very young age and appeared in many different TV shows and short-films.

Neymar is a Brazilian footballer who plays for FC Barcelona. When he was just 19 years old, he won the 2011 South American Footballer of the Year and went on to win it again in 2012. Bruna dated Neymar up until earlier this year,
when they decided to split, but it has been reported that they were seen together and kissing during Neymar’s training for the 2014 World Cup.

5. Irina Shayk & Cristiano Ronaldo
Irina Shayk is arguably one of the most famous of the World Cup WAGS. She is a Russian model whose career started after being spotted in a High School pageant. She has been featured on the cover of several magazines, including Vogue and has started on an acting career with a role starring in the upcoming film, Hercules.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a household name when it comes to football. His reputation as one of the greatest players seemingly grows with every match. He plays for Portugal during the World Cup and represents Real Madrid in La-Liga. Cristiano and Irina started dating in 2010, even though she admits that she is no fan of football.

6. Antonella Roccuzzo & Lionel Messi
Antonella and Lionel Messi are both native to Rosario, Argentina and were no strangers to each other before they got together. Antonella is actually Messi’s best friend’s cousin and they met each other when they were 5. They grew up together with their families being friends.

Lionel left Rosario to play for Barcelona and when he came home on holiday in 2008, the couple fell in love. They got engaged and have since had a baby boy called Thiago. Lionel
plays forward and is Captain for Argentina and forward for Spanish club FC Barcelona. Lionel is the first player in history to win 4 FIFA European Player of the Year Awards,
consecutively.

7. Shakira & Gerard Pique
This beauty does not necessarily need an introduction, but I will provide a short one anyway. Shakira is of course, famous for being a singer and belly-dancer, however, she is also a model, dancer and choreographer. She did not find instant fame though; in the early 1990’s she failed to achieve any following of her first 2 albums. It was when she released her 3 album that her popularity began to grow.

Shakira met Gerard, whilst recording Waka Waka during the last World Cup season. Gerard is a Spanish center-back football player for FC Barcelona. He spent 4 years playing for Manchester United before returning to Spain. The couple have a son, Milan, and do not have any reported plans to get married at this time.

8. Alex Gerrard & Steven Gerrard
Alex Gerrard is an English model and fashion columnist for the Daily Mirror newspaper. She has also launched her own fragrance, simply called ‘Alex’ which was one of the top selling perfumes in 2007. Although, she didn’t start out as a model; Alex was formerly a nail technician. The couple have been together since 2002, however, they were both dating different people at the start of the year and
at some point they swapped, Alex and Steven got together and their former other halves got together. It is still unclear as to how this swap was initiated. Alex and Steven married in 2007 and have 3 daughters.

Steven is a Midfielder and Captain of the England team and a Midfielder for Liverpool FC. His wife, Alex is no stranger to the football world and is described as a leading ‘WAG’ of the England football team.

9. Bethany Dempsey & Clint Dempsey
This WAG is certainly not your average hottie! Bethany is not only remarkably beautiful, but also remarkably bright. She has obtained her Master’s degree and is an educational
psychologist. The couple met in University and got married quite quickly, after just a year of dating. They have 2 daughters and a son.
Clint is the Captain of the USA Football team and made successful headlines by scoring the fifth fastest goal in World Cup history, whilst playing against Ghana. Previously he played for Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham in England before returning to his home country to play with the Seattle Sounders.

It is no doubt that Soccer, or Football (as most Europeans would call it) fever is everywhere at the moment, with the just concluded 2014 FIFA World Cup held in the steamy hot country, Brazil.

Talented Football players across the world enter the pitch to battle it out in the hopes of making their country proud. It is without a doubt, the dream of every Football player to participate in helping their team win the most
prestigious trophy in football.

It is often said that behind a great man, is an even greater woman supporting him throughout his career and it is no different with these pro athletes. In fact, in the soccer world, these woman are often referred to as WAGS (Wives and Girlfriends). Their luxury lifestyle promotes a perception that these ladies of the football players, are all beautiful but which of these WAGS are the hottest?

I count down the list of the 10 hottest FIFA World Cups superstars’ wives and girlfriends.

10. Coleen Rooney & Wayne Rooney
This popular couple has been together since the mere age of 16 years old. They have been married for over 6 years and have 2 children together. Coleen is popular with the international media, as she is known to be an extremely friendly and lovable lady. She could be considered one of the founder members of the WAG’s club and is well liked among the other ladies in this unofficial ‘club’. Although, Coleen does not sit behind her successful soccer star; she is a TV presenter, columnist and has her own clothing line. She is a successful businesswoman in her own right. Wayne Rooney plays forward for England and
Manchester United is his home club.
