David Beckham might have retired and while the world will surely miss his iconic hairstyles, the current crop aren't that bad either when it comes to rocking different hairdos. Here are the 10 most iconic hairstyles from the current edition of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is the most talked about footballer in the world having just led his club to a historic 10th European Cup. Ronaldo loves the good life, cares about his clothes and definitely his hair but not more than his football. He currently sports a gelled faux hawk look which doesn't get dishevelled even when he is tearing down defences or being tackled by defenders. In fact, even FIFA president Sepp Blatter once commented that Ronaldo probably spends more at the hairdresser's than his rival Messi. He was once found to change his hairstyle at half time!

Marouane Fellaini
If you want to upset Manchester United fans, all you have to do is utter the words Marouane Felliani. The Belgian is a lasting legacy of David Moyes' horrendous time at the club but if there's one other thing that'll be stuck in football fans' heads, it will be Fellaini's unique afro hairstyle.
Mario Balotelli
Mario Balotelli is currently world football's enfant terrible and he rocks a completely old school Mohawk just to make that point. The Italian was even part of a Nike commercial where the barber tries lots of iconic hairstyles on him including Ronaldo's u-shaped buzz cut, mullet, Ronaldinhio's curly long hair with headband and others but Mario Balotelli sticks to his Mohawk, indicating he will make his own history.
Andrea Pirlo
The talented midfielder will be hoping to create history by helping his country reach the World Cup finals with his classy playmaking abilities and the Italian boasts an equally classy long hairstyle which along with his beard makes him look like a more handsome version of Chuck Norris.
Neymar
The Crown Prince of Brazilian football will be hoping to follow in Pele's footsteps and lead his country to glory but people often forget that he is merely 22 years old. However, his current hairstyle accentuates his youth with a longish fringe look with no hair on the sides.
David Luiz
A lookalike of The Simpsons character Sideshow Bob, Brazilian defender David Luiz is synonymous with his wild curly hairstyle. In fact, a recent photo showing a bald David Luiz was the talk of the town before it turned out that it was just a hoax planned by a Brazilian satirical website.
Oliver Giroud
The Arsenal and France forward is one of the most handsome men in world football and his Hitler youth hairstyle which is short on the sides and longish in the middle really accentuates his good looks.
Kyle Beckerman
When you see the US midfielder, his trademark dreadlocks make you believe that he will pull out a guitar, a joint and start belting some Bob Marley on the field. The player however blames good ol' fashioned laziness for his looks, claiming he stopped growing the hair after he moved out his mum's place.
Stephan Kareem El Shaarawy
The Italian forward perhaps inspired by compatriot and club mate Mario Balotelli also sports a Mohawk, only his is high enough to touch the ceiling. The AC Milan forward's look confirms the popularity that the Mohawk has with the current footballers.
Didier Drogba
He might be one of the most talented centre-forwards to ever grace them, but off it the Ivorian rocks an unwavering look that hasn't changed in years. The retro perm however hasn't diminished his popularity as a sex symbol around the world.
