All you Posh and Beckham fans, time-out. Soccer - off the field - is not about the Beckhams anymore.

We now have Sakira, Irina, Fanny Neguesha to drool over.
 

Read Here: War of World Cup WAGS

What's football without the glamorous WAGs — the wives and girlfriends — of our heroes on the field.

But they are not just trophy WAGs, these beauties are some of the most successful career oriented ladies.

Shakira: Partner of Spain's Gerard Piqué - Does she need an introduction? We don't think so. Whenever, Wherever there's mention of football, her name comes up. Apparently, the singer met beau Piqué on the sets of her music video Waka Waka in the last World Cup season. We're counting on her to show some mean moves on the sidelines as Piqué takes to the field. And yes, please bring baby Milan too. (Reuters Photo)

Antonella Roccuzzo: Fiancée of Argentina's Lionel Messi - She is Messi's first love - after soccer, of course! Antonella, who happens to be Messi's best friend's cousin, met the footballer when they were five. But they fell in love in 2008 and their first child, Thiago, was born in 2012. Although they got engaged three years ago, the couple is yet to tie the knot. Maybe after this World Cup? Fingers crossed. (AFP Photo)

Irina Shayk: Ladylove of Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo - This lingerie model was named the Sexiest Woman in the World by a Hungarian mag. But the 28-year-old Russian is more than what meets the eye. At present, she's raising money for a maternity hospital in her hometown. We're guessing her heart of gold attracted one of the world's hottest bachelors to her. Who's complaining? (Getty Photo)

We expect to see the newly engage finacee of Italian striker Mario Balotelli. The footballer took care of some personal business before the World Cup starts, proposing to his Belgian girlfriend Fanny Neguesha early Tuesday morning.

"She said yes," Balotelli posted on Instagram. "The most important yes in my life."

"That was the place of my question! I Love you and happy birthday too!" Balotelli added, next to a picture of a romantic beach setting. Balotelli also posted a picture of a diamond ring on Neguesha's hand.

Coleen Rooney: Wife of England's Wayne Rooney - Coleen is one of international media's absolute sweethearts in the WAGs club. The TV presenter and columnist started dating Rooney when they were just 16. Married for six years now with two kids, the couple is fondly known as Wayleen. Coleen's also a darling among other WAGs. If not her smile, we'll have our eyes out for her signature skirts and dresses. (AFP Photo)

Alex Curran: Better half of England's Steven Gerrard - We do not expect her in Brazil but we cannot resist from putting her name down. Here's a WAG who has been unofficially banned from attending the World Cup! Yes, the gorgeous English model and fashion columnist wife of Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard has been barred from turning up at the games because he thinks WAGs are little more than distractions! (Getty)

 

Sara Carbonero: Lucky charm of Spain's Iker Casillas - A Spanish TV presenter and sports journo, she was named the Sexiest Reporter in the World in 2009. But she received a lot of flak last World Cup for reportedly 'distracting' Iker during a match with Switzerland, which led to the latter's victory. But Casillas made their equation known to the world by kissing her during a post-win interview in 2010. We crave more for that mush. (AFP)

 

 

Gabriella Lenzi: Girlfriend of Brazil's Neymar - The 20-year-old supermodel is known as much for her svelte figure as her lush mane. But it's her love for sports which caught the soccer star's attention. Although Lenzi is yet to be spotted in public with Neymar, reports suggest that she recently went to Barcelona to spend 'quality time' with her beau. Will they come out in the open this June? Let's wait and watch. (Getty Image)

Pilar Rubio: Ladylove of Spain's Sergio Ramos - A Spanish reporter and TV presenter, Pilar started dating the footballer in September 2012. Earlier this April, she delivered their first son. Ever the gentleman, Ramos has been accompanying his ladylove on her shopping sprees over the years, even carrying her bags. (Getty Image)

Mandy Capristo: Girlfriend of Germany's Mesut Ozil - This part-Italian, part-German girl is not just a glamorous addition to the list of WAGs, but also a powerhouse of talent. The 24-year-old singer-songwriter also happens to be a dancer and model. She started dating Ozil last year. Due to her popstar background, the couple is hailed as the 'German Posh and Becks'.
