Most of them are Argentine (surprise, surprise) even though they may play on teams elsewhere, like in Paraguay or wherever. XD

Okay, that's all for now...there are more, but I can't take any more gorgeous men today. O_O
Something else of interest:
This is Giovanni Simeone, the 15-year-old son of Diego Simeone, former footballer and now coach of Catania in Italy. Apparently Giovanni is an extremely gifted footballer, currently playing in one of River Plate's lower divisions. Here are a few photos and an article from goal.com:

Giovanni Simeone Toasts Magical Year In River Plate Youth Team
Diego Simeone's son celebrates after he finishes River Plate top scorer at just 15 years old for the youth team in 2010...

River Plate teenager Giovanni Simeone was delighted with a year in which he netted 26 times for the Argentine giant's youth team, and the son of former Millo coach Diego Simeone stated his intention to break into the River first team sooner rather than later.
The 15-year-old was the top scorer of the entire River institution in 2010, and the striker managed to shrug off whispers that he was only at the club thanks to his father's short yet eventful spell with the first team in 2008.
Speaking to Ole after completing an end of year high school exam at the club, Giovanni revealed that he was very happy with his breakout year in the River semillero.
"On the pitch it has gone better for me [than in the exams]! I scored 26 goals in 22 games, and I am delighted. I would like to thank my team-mates, especially Tomas Martinez and Kaprof, thanks to them I was able to hit several crucial strikes," the teenager stated.
Having started his fledgeling football career in Italy as a winger Simeone Jr. gradually moved up the pitch, but insists that one can see shades of David Villa and Samuel Eto'o in his play; as well as the more orthodox centre forward play of current River starter Mariano Pavone.
"In River I enjoy watching Pavone play the most. He holds up the ball, heads well, scores goals and has a rocket of a right foot. He is a brilliant player."
The Monumental has an unrivalled reputation in recent years for producing quality young attacking players, from Pablo Aimar, Javier Saviola and Andres D'Alessandro up to the present crop of youngsters including Erik Lamela, Rogelio Funes Mori and Manuel Lanzini.
'El Cholito' revealed that he has every intention of following his illustrious predecessors in playing for River and then the national team, although he recognises that the expectation of the Simeone name will mean he has to work doubly hard to make his own way.
"My father will always be my father, and I will always be his son. It is true that at the start it was an added pressure," Giovanni admitted as the interview came to a close.
"Some people thought that I was only in River because I was a Simeone. Now though I am known as Giovanni, and I would like that to continue being the case."
