💅 German star among the top, AI ranks the hottest World Cup players | OneFootball

While the World Cup group stage is underway, a funny ranking has now emerged. An artificial intelligence examined the 150 players who were searched most on Google during the World Cup for the “golden ratio” of visual attractiveness. This includes aspects such as facial symmetry, for example. 

Who the AI considers Mr. World Cup is probably not someone many people would have expected. In fifth place on the top list was Brazilian super talent Endrick.

 Fourth place, according to the AI, went to Egypt’s Mohamed Salah.

In first place, however, is none other than Lionel Messi’s unofficial bodyguard, Argentina’s Rodrigo de Paul.

Nick Woltemade and Jonathan Tah, by the way, finished in seventh and eighth place. Superstar Neymar only came 23rd in the AI’s ranking, while CR7 landed in 45th. Vinícius Jr. was 46th.

Of course, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, and it is hardly possible to set objective standards for such a subjective question. But if you ask the AI, the matter is clear: Rodrigo de Paul is Mr. World Cup! 

Now it’s your turn: Who did you think would be right at the top of the list? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
