What an exciting World Cup this is proving to be! Well, that is of course unless your team is already out or if you've been following our lousy predictions (We're so sorry for this one yesterday!) Regardless, it's not too late for our fortunes to turn around and we hope you'll appreciate the hottie we've given you today to make up for our off-predictions. Meet: Ezequiel Garay

The Player

Garay plays as central defender for Argentina and he plays his club football in Portugal for SL Benfica. Ezequiel Garay, much like a lot of the players we've featured as our Hottie of the Day so far, is highly sought after. The likes of Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Zenit St. Petersburg have all been linked with moves for the defender. That's probably because he's amaze-balls! Nothing gets past him and this fella loves a good tackle, block or interception. 

When will he be playing?

Argentina will be facing African hot shots, Nigeria, tonight and Garay will be hoping to have an impact as Argentina attempts to finish top of their group. The match kicks off at 6PM and we hope that Argentina's coach, Alejandro Sabella plays a strong team tonight; if he does, you can be sure that you'll see Garay in action! 

Give me 3 phrases I can use to impress my friends? 

"Garay is the king of interceptions! I don't expect Nigera to make many passes in the final 3rd thanks to him" 

"I think Garay needs a big performance tonight; Bayern and Man United are probably watching" 

"Tonight we'll see why Garay is hailed as one of the best central defenders in Europe" 

Prediction

Nigeria have it all to play for; Argentina want to finish top of their group. We expect Argentina to play it safe tonight and see out a 0-0 draw against the Africans.
