Celebs Who Love Soccer

From Kobe to Rihanna, the list is long and growing.

Ice Cube Means Business - Ice Cube made sure that everyone knew his World Cup pick when he appeared in the I Believe That We Will Win commercial. While the other stars, from Jon Hamm to Whoopi Goldberg, gently voiced their support for the U.S. team, Cube nearly shouted his lines. Don't be scared, he's just that serious. (Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images)

Kevin Hart's Athletic Hopes - In case Kevin Hart's comedy career ever falls flat, he's well on his way to being a soccer star. His credentials: He loves top-ranked British team Manchester City so he knows what to aim for on the field, he dramatically scored a goal against their goalie, Joe Hart — no relation, and some of soccer's biggest stars are pint-sized like he is.   (Photo: Dave J Hogan/Getty Images)

When Spike Lee's Not at Madison Square Garden - Spike Lee has been cheating on the Knicks for a while. First, he was a season ticket holder for Mario Balotelli's old team, Inter Milan, and now his favorite team is England's FC Arsenal — in 2011, he appeared in a Nike-produced video to celebrate the club's 125th anniversary. Because Lee has to be super involved in whatever he believes in, he even sat on a FIFA Committee to try to get the World Cup brought to the U.S. Now that Qatar could lose the 2022 matches, he may get his wish.     (Photo: Chris Trotman/Getty Images for the USTA)
