Hey there curly fries! If you’re watching the World Cup I hope you’ve got your priorities straight, and if you’re not then I hope this will convince you to start, because here’s definitely the most important part of the entire operation: haircuts. Some players have some pretty good haircuts in pretty interesting colors! See below for detail.

These are all beautiful and amazing, but all I can think about is the freaky photoshop situation happening in this: http://www.autostraddle.com/look-at-that-alternative-lifestyle-haircut-wwc-2015-edition-293034/#jp-carousel-293167
I actually think that’s her own hand? But it does totally look like freaky photoshop.
Canadian Queen Sophie Schmidt forever.
Also don’t forget the entire Canadian team wore Peau De Loup skinny suits. The gayest and perfect.
Do you have a photo of that? (O_o) <3
This is the most important article posted anywhere today
This is relevant to my interests.
I LOVE THIS. I LOVE ALT HAIRCUTS. I really needed the space to say Abby Wambach’s new hair is GREAT. I love the wwc!
You know, I love Abby Wambach, but I’m not feeling the blonde hair. I did like the cut though, and all of these are awesome!
the kind of sports coverage i can believe in
I’m in the minority. I wasn’t feeling it. If my wife was to do that to her hair I would buy her a wig. And if I was to ever do that to myself somebody needs to up my dosage three times THEN buy me a wig.
Sophie Schmidt Forever.
Whether we’re feeling the haircuts or not, I think it’s important that women cut their hair however they please. If it makes them happy, then that’s fucking awesome.
So is this a safe space to discuss how much I admire Meghan Klingenberg’s hair?
Ohh i love the different kind of hair styles :). I just LOVE it
This absolutely the kind of World Cup coverage I’ve been wanting and needing.
Outstanding. Outstanding. Outstanding.
Well that was amazing. I would love AS to do more articles on hairstyles! We need more queer hair inspiration.
But you guys! If Silvia Neid has an Alternative Lifestyle Haircut, then so do about 90% of all German women aged 40+. I am shocked. This is not it!
Can we talk about the tattoo sleeves next? It is all the rage with our sportier sisters, apparently.
I just watched the Japan – Cameroon game, and frankly, I feel the whole Cameroon team deserves a special award in this category.
