Maarten Stekelenburg
Position: Goalkeeper
Age: 27
This cutie was named player of the year during his 2007-2008 season with his club team, Ajax. He was part of the Netherlands’ 2006 World Cup team, but sadly he didn’t see any game time.
This time around, he’s expected to be the first choice goalkeeper for the squad, so we can look forward to seeing plenty of his gorgeous face.

Gregory Van Der Wiel
Position: Defender
Age: 22
The baby of the Netherlands’ team, Gregory has the kind of irresistible boyish good looks that leaves us swooning. Like so many of us, he has also jumped on the twitter bandwagon so that we can keep track of his every move! Follow him
here.

Nigel De Jong
Position: Midfielder
Age: 25
Nigel may just be the perfect man. In addition to playing football he owns De Jong Motors, a luxury car detailing shop. He’s also a proud papa and husband. What's not to like? And who can resist that smile?

Stijn Schaars
Position: Midfielder
Age: 26
This blonde-haired, blued-eyed hottie is captain of his club team, Alkmaar Zaanstreek. The 2006 World Cup was within his reach when he was selected as an injury standby for the Netherlands team, but no one on the squad withdrew, so he returned home.
When it was announced in May that he was officially part of the 2010 World Cup Squad we all let out a collective sigh of relief! Isn't he gorgeous?

Rafael Van der Vaart
Position: Midfielder
Age: 27
After he married Dutch model and actress Sylvie Françoise van der Vaart in 2005, many people dubbed the couple the "new Beckams", even though they certainly don’t seem to be nearly as press hungry. We think it's quite a shame as Rafael is more than a little easy on the eyes.

Edson Braafheid
Position: Defender
Age: 27
This Surinamese-born footballer left Dutch club FC Twente for a 2.5 million transfer fee to play for Germany’s Bayern Munich during the 2009-2010 season. He's well worth the money if you ask us! And those dark good looks of his don't hurt either.
