These guys are kicking hair goals at the 2018 World Cup
Guys, the 2018 World Cup is on! Who knew? Apparently, it's a big deal, so I watched a few games to see what the hype was about and can I tell you, I finally get it now.
Aside from the obvious sportsmanship, unity of countries and overflowing pubs when England plays, there are some damn good hairstyles and beards running around that green pitch (or is it a field? Yay, football!).
No wonder why people like it so much, there's so much inspiration to be found, from afros to glorious fades. Case and point? These players:

Look at Dele go with his mini fro. That hairline may be drenched in sweat, but it still doesn't stray from its face-flattering frame.

Loftus adds some speed stripes to his shaved sides. Will it work to his team's advantage?

Lush beard aside, Kasper's side-part quiff doesn't budge no matter how hard he hustles. I suspect a stiff-setting gel is used to comb that bad boy.

Ramin Rezaeian has made me a fan of the mohawk. Wider and thicker than the 80s kind, but a mohawk still the same.

Mohammed's natural curls are majestic to watch as he bobs his way up and down the field. So springy and full of life.

Not even a header could crack this well-crafted quiff. Must be Tresemme's Freeze Hold Hair Spray.

Yann's floppy bob is almost as beautiful as his smile.

Mats shows us how to work THE hairstyle of the summer; short at the back and long up top. Not many can pull off a moustache and goatee combo, but he does it with ease.

Notice how every inch of his skin is soaked in sweat, yet Andre's hair is suffering no effects from humidity whatsoever? Magical.

Look at that wet-look lob! Always styish under pressure, Edinson.

Here is he! Have you ever seen such a delicate sideburn? Cristiano's barber must have the steadiest hand in the country.

Nacer's slicked-back pony is not only practical, but allows his bushy brows and beard to really shine.
