The Worst Hairstyles to Be Seen at the 2014 World Cup
Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most followed style icons in the world. He is not only important in the field, but the Real Madrid star has been in the limelight off it as well. Although he is a good-looking guy, the zigzag/lightning bolt design on the side of his head has destroyed what could possibly be a stylish haircut. Ronaldo’s bizarre haircut sparked a debate as it appeared to pay tribute to Erik Ortiz Cruz, a young fan who recently had to have a brain surgery that cost £50,000, paid by Ronaldo. However, this rumor has turned out to be just that – a rumor. Cruz’s mother has herself stated in a Facebook post that her son still haven’t had the surgery.

Brazil’s Neymar
Neymar has become the face of the 2014 Brazil World Cup. After Brazil’s opening game against Croatia, Neymar dyed his hair blond. Those stripy yellow highlights make his hair look dry and are not good for his skin tone. Okay, he is a Brazilian sensation, but this is 2014, not 2004, that he would get away with a platinum blond dye-job.

Ivory Coast’s Serey Die
Serey Die could have looked good with just a mohawk, but he decided to give his mohawk a golden spice and bleached it. His golden ‘caterpillar’ hair can be spotted from the last row of the stands in Brazil. The mohawk also has a slight curve towards the bottom.

Portugal’s Nani
Another Portuguese player has made the list, who is giving Ronaldo a stiff competition for the worst haircut. After Portugal’s defeat to Germany in their opening match, Nani thought it was a good time for a haircut and got a star with his squad number shaved into his hair. And he doesn’t have one, but three such stars on his head.

Ghana’s Asamoah Gyan
Asamoah Gyan wears the number 3 jersey for Ghana, but you will never forget that since Gyan keeps reminding you with his haircut. The former Sunderland striker has shaved and dyed the number on the side of his head. He also sports a fluffy mohawk to complete the look.

Portugal’s Raul Meireles
And another Portuguese player joins the list. Raul Meireles can easily go back in time and join an army of Vikings due to his looks. In fact, it is even possible the Norse warriors and seafarers of the 8th to 11thcenturies AD sent one of their own, aka Raul Meireles, 1000 years into the future. The Fenerbahce midfielder carries a very bad attempt at a mohawk along with a largely unkempt beard. Hopefully, this ‘playoff beard’ won’t last long after the World Cup.

France’s Bacary Sagna
No bad hairstyles list can be complete without mentioning French right-back Bacary Sagna. The 31-year-old has been sporting his black and yellow braids for a long time now, but there is in fact a story behind his unique hairstyle. When Sagna was young, he and his father could never agree on the hairstyle he had. One time, he made a bet with his father that he would score a goal in the next match. His father agreed that if he did score a goal, he can choose whatever haircut he wants. Sagna scored not one, but two goals and had his hair braided in black and yellow. He decided to keep this hairstyle, which has now become his trademark on the pitch.

France’s Paul Pogba
And another Frenchman makes the list. Instead of having just one bleached stripe on the side, he decided to have two of these beauties. The French midfielder has garnered a lot of praise from several former greats for his performance in Brazil. The French legend Zinedine Zidane was also very generous in his praises for the Juventus star. However, his style is a bit too flashy. Well, what else can you expect from a Mario Balotelli-esque hairstyle?

US’s Kyle Beckerman
If you were getting tired from seeing players’ hair going short, Kyle Beckerman is here to break the trend. He sported some scary dreadlocks at the 2014 World Cup, which made him really easy to spot whenever he played for US. Beckerman started cultivating his signature locks at an early age and this is the result of his efforts. Well, it’s not like we have something against dreadlocks, but after all the sweaty football games, they are sure to be smelly.

Argentina’s Rodrigo Palacio
Perhaps the worst hairstyle prize of the 2014 World Cup goes to Rodrigo Palacio. Millions of people were forced to look twice when the Argentine striker came on as a substitute during his team’s game against Switzerland in the round of 16 – with a hairstyle that can only be described as an asymmetrical rat tail. The rat tail haircut is mostly favored by Euro metalheads, Australian ‘bogans’ and penalty-missing Italian forwards, and ranks alongside the mullet as one of the worst hairstyles to ever be created. But to wear it on one side of the head? That’s taking things to the extreme!
The Inter Milan striker is now getting a lot of attention in Brazil and for all the wrong reasons. In fact, there have been plenty of memes about Palacio’s hairstyle on various social networking sites. If some of the fans had their way, the rat tail haircut would even be outlawed as can be seen from their reaction on Twitter.
