Celebs Who Love Soccer

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

Naomi Gets Patriotic - Most people are content to cheer and tweet, but Naomi Campbell went bigger — and barer — to show her support. The day of England's first World Cup game, Campbell posted a photo on Instagram of herself wearing the British flag and a bathing suit. Her team lost, but not for her lack of effort. (Photo: Naomi Campbell via Instagram)
LeBron to Liverpool: I Know Kanye West  - LeBron James's decision in 2011 to become a minority owner of British team FC Liverpool may have been a business move, but he's bringing his own form of personal motivation for the players. James promised the team a weekend in Vegas including a concert with Kanye West if they won the league last season. They didn't...but enough Liverpool players are in the World Cup (for Uruguay and England) that James may still have a stake in a winning team.  (Photo: Andrew Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)
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)
Spike Lee - Director and sports fan Spike Lee enjoyed day six of the U.S. Open on Aug. 31.(Photo: Chris Trotman/Getty Images for the USTA)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)
