Every 4 years the FIFA World Cup takes the globe by storm, and this year is no different. Although the American team is out of the running, despite its impressive performance escaping the \u201cGroup of Death,\u201d the final games are sure to be exciting nonetheless. But we\u2019re not here to judge teams or players based on things like how well they play soccer. Oh no! Today, we\u2019re judging them on an equally important (if not more important) metric: their hairstyles. Below, here the Top 5 Best and Top 5 Worst Hairstyles of the 2014 World Cup!<\/p>\n

WORST<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Rodrigo Palacio<\/strong> (Argentina): So far in this World Cup we\u2019ve seen several different braided hairstyles. Some of them good, some of them\u2026 not so much. This falls into the latter category. This hairstyle is popularly called a \u201crat tail,\u201d and it is every bit as stylish and attractive as the name implies. Which is to say not at all.\n
    \"Rodrigo

  2. Paul Pogba<\/strong> (France): It\u2019s hard to tell exactly what Paul was going for when he last visited the barber shop. A Mohawk, somewhat bleached, with two (count \u2018em!), two bleached stripes on both sides of his head. Talented in the midfield, less so in the mirror.\n
    \"Paul

  3. Bacary Sagna<\/strong> (France): That\u2019s right, France gets two spots in the Worst list! Here we have another attempt at a braided hairstyle that just doesn\u2019t quite cut it (pun intended). What is this, an \u2018N SYNC concert from the 1990\u2019s? Justin Timberlake couldn\u2019t pull it off, neither can you.\n
    \"Bacary

  4. Kyle Beckerman<\/strong> (United States): USA! USA! Not that there\u2019s anything really<\/em> wrong with Kyle\u2019s dreadlocks. At least, nothing that isn\u2019t wrong with dreadlocks in the first place. Our main problem with this is: the man is playing professional, world class soccer. How can he deal with those dreads flying all over the place?\n
    \"Kyle

  5. Serey Die<\/strong> (Ivory Coast): Mohawks can definitely be cool. Don\u2019t let anyone tell you different. However, if you\u2019re going to go for a Mohawk, try to make sure it\u2019s not crooked!\n
    \"Serey

    BEST<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Daley Blind<\/strong> (Netherlands). Now here is a great haircut. Great length, beautiful color, and a sensual wavy texture. This defensive midfielder knows how to handle the ball and a mirror. Blind may be his last name, but blind he certainly is not!\n
      \"Daley

    2. Raul Meireles<\/strong> (Portugal): Mohawk? Check. Thick manly beard? Check? Meireles has all the makings of a true Brooklyn hipster. All he needs is to swap that soccer uniform for some super tight jeans and an ironic t-shirt, maybe throw on a pair of oversized sunglasses, and he could be in a band that\u2019s so cool you\u2019ve never heard of it.\n
      \"Raul

    3. Olivier Geroud<\/strong> (France): Leave it to France to have players in both the Best and Worst categories. Olivier, sometimes called the \u201cFrench Beckham,\u201d is sporting the \u201cundercut,\u201d an increasingly popular look in Europe: shaved on the sides and back with a defined side part and cool slicked across hair.\n
      \"Olivier

    4. Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Junior<\/strong>\u00a0(Brazil): For guys with thick hair, here\u2019s a man who knows how to wear it. Oscar\u2019s thick and wavy locks are styled into a matte version of the comb over that\u2019s getting more and more popular.\n
      \"Oscar

    5. Cristiano Ronaldo<\/strong> (Portugal): Who else but McDreamy, himself, rounds out our list of Best World Cup hairstyles? Cristiano\u2019s zig-zag haircut certainly caused a stir during the match against the United States, mostly by people saying how bad it was. A rumor<\/a> circulated that the haircut was a tribute to a struggling cancer patient, though it went unverified. What is clear, though, is that Cristiano did spend over $80,000 of his own money to pay for the child\u2019s surgery. And we\u2019re pretty sure he looked fabulous while he did it.\n
