One of my favorite takeaways from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Switching Goals – aside from Michael Cera – was how they always had the best hair to compliment their uniforms.
After a 14 hour road trip, it’s needless to say I was a bit delusional waking up to the Premier League’s opener on the television Saturday morning. Plot twist; I’m not typically one to focus on the game itself, rather more how the players style their uniforms. Remember this?
I must say, the football – or is it futbol? – stars really amped the effort to kickoff the EPL season when it came to their hairdos – which led me to this blog post. Call it a stroke of genius or lack of sleep, but I thought it would be fun to give the starting 11 (with the best hairstyles) a shoutout. They may not have pigtails or barrettes like the Olsen’s, but nonetheless, impressive.
#1. Nathan Ake
While scouring for my favorites, I noticed I handpicked WAY too many players with blonde/gold highlights a la Justin Timberlake during his *NSync days. But seriously, how bad do you guys want to run your fingers through this kid’s hair?! Just me?….
#2. Pogba
If I were ten years old and aspiring to be a soccer stud, I would one thousand percent model my hair off of this look.
#3. Wayne Rooney
Gotta give it to Rooney. He struggled with a hair transplant for a bit. His hair looks somewhat normal now, so snaps to him!
#4. David Silva
Going to be 100% percent honest here; I have no clue which one of these kids is Silva. That being said, the guy in the blue’s hair reminds me of a bouquet of carrots and I really appreciate that.
#5. Sergio Kun Aguero
I feel like 98% of the Bachelor contestants modeled their cuts off of Sergio’s ‘do. Looking at you Robby Hayes…
#6. Christian Eriksen
SHARK!!!!!
#7. Steve Mounie
Mounie almost got the boot from this post, but I was told to keep him since he’s relevant and scored this weekend. Plus, I seriously cannot get enough of these frosted tips!
#8. David De Gea
Where are my Game of Thrones fans at?! David De Gea looks like he either belongs in Westeros or is the Knight King defrosted. Loving this look.
#9. Emre Can
Can’s swoop (is that what you call it?) is legendary and deserves it’s own twitter handle. Somebody make it happen..
#10. Marouana Fellaini
Truly, there is no caption needed for this. It’s like the mic drop of hairdos.
#11. David Luiz
Need to know what product Mufasa uses to keep the hair off his face sweat. Asking for a friend…
Soccer fans: Help me out! Who else am I missing?!
Special shoutout to Man City’s Coach, Pep Guardiola. He’s got a great look.
