The 12 coolest and craziest hairstyles at the World Cup

Soccer stars are as much preening peacocks as they are dynamic athletes — a dualism that’s given us tons of wild hairdos at this year’s World Cup.

From dreadlocks to dye jobs, ’fros to fades, and every flavor or Mohawk in between, these are the would-be Beckhams dominating the FIFA hottie hair game.

Arturo Vidal of Chile

No old-fashioned faux hawks for this midfielder. The footballer prefers to get creative with the clippers, carving ferocious designs (some see talons, we see rainbows . . .) into his head-butting scalp.

Asamoah Gyan of Ghana

Winners don’t just buzz a Mohawk — they dye jersey numbers into their temples. Gyan is a mere digit away from Herbie chic.

Bacary Sagna of France

Part bumblebee, part Whoopi Goldberg, pure braided glory. What inspired the Frenchman’s signature coiffure? A bet with his papa, apparently.

Daley Blind of the Netherlands

The Amsterdam-born footballer could be a great athlete, but he has Adonis-like hair, so who cares? Blind has the ideal length, color and wavy texture that seem to only get better with sweat.

This is what dreams are made of.

Die Serey of Ivory Coast

Here’s a fine case of intimidation tactics. The puffy peroxide landing strip that comprises the Ivorian’s Mohawk makes him look like a wolverine, or one of those hell raisers from “Gremlins.”

Ermin Bicakcic of Bosnia and Herzegovina

With slicked-up spikes and shaved sides, Bicakcic is an ’80s tracksuit and two gold chains shy of all-out Eastern Euro luxe.

Georgios Samaras of Greece

Serving “Jesus Christ Superstar” 24/7.

Kyle Beckerman of the United States

An obvious Bob Marley infatuation is to thank for this midfielder’s head of dirty blond dreads. Consistently paired with scruff and a disarming smile, this Tarzan has us a little infatuated, too.

Marouane Fellaini of Belgium

At 6-foot-4, what’s 2 — or 5, or 10 — more inches of hair, especially when it’s as luminous and buoyant as Fellaini’s. Solange? Fro-geddaboutit.

Neymar of Brazil

Like Madonna, Neymar is now single-name status, essentially requiring he have an iconic haircut. Good or bad, the superstar is fiercely loyal to thick bangs, buzzed sides and a very close relative of the rat tail.

Paul Pogba of France

For Pogba, hair is art. The Lagny-sur-Marne-born player starts with a sculpted mix of Mohawk and high-top fade, then employs peroxide with an artist’s flair — a splash here, a contour there, the occasional stripe for accent. Très French.

Raul Meireles of Portugal

He’s from Porto, Portugal, but may as well be from Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The midfielder rocks a true Mohawk with a thick beard to rival any regional hipster.
