OCD Breakdown: European Flair

July 1st, 2008

I hope that you all had the chance to catch some of the Euro the past couple weeks. It really was an amazing tournament with Spain taking it all. I didn’t see everything, but I was lucky enough to catch Turkey’s comeback against Czech Republic. I was also watching when David Villa scored 2 minutes into stoppage time off of a clear. But nobody cares about soccer… so I’ll get to the point.

Euro soccer has been the source of numerous regrettable trends in recent years. Fashionable mullets and anything related to David Beckham (double ponytail, cornrows, etc.) come to mind immediately. The fashionable mullet (usually faux-hawked-out to some degree) is not to be confused with the standard “fabio” that’s a favorite of many Italian and Argentinian players. Soccer players don’t wear helmets or hats… so they have a lot of hair options.

I spotted two emerging trends at this year’s Euro — two daring players with two vastly different statements. Luca Toni, who my brother and I believe to be one of the laziest players in the world, has gone with a totally 80’s look. He’s got the throwback ’stache and the locks to match. Boswinga takes another approach with his disregard for grooming his massive brow. The bold eyebrows give him an imposing gaze for all to respect. Both players have blazed the way for other players to jump on board with these trends. I expect that they will both be quite popular at the Olympics and World Cup 2010.

Luca Toni’s ’stache would lose to Boswinga’s unibrow in a fight
