How could anyone lose interest in the World Cup when the rise and rise of the Tweenies-inspired haircut continues apace. Now Ronaldo's at it! Whatever happens, Turkey will be able to claim a moral victory, because they had a bloke with a bogbrush hairdo first. Brazil are a bunch of bandy-legged bandwagon jumpers!

What look are you going for today? Despite the World Cup, I've opted for the Russell Crowe 'Russ le Rock' (?) look as modelled on that 'before they were famous' programme introduced by Angus Deayton. The fact that I'm not intending to leave the house has had some influence on my decision.

That's who the dog out of The Tweenies is modelled on.

I'm increasingly rocking a distressing style somewhere between Zinedine Zidane's and Mark Draper's. Sob.

Ronaldo's haircut is possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen, is it hiding the lobotomy scar from before the 98 final.

toda from japan had the best hairstyle.

According to Edna, my latest haircut is very Michael Owen. Unfortunately I don't quite the right head-shape to pull it off. I do have a groin strain though.

Michael Owen doesn't 'pull it off' in my view. He also has the wrong head shape. I think he'd look better with a crop actually rather than that quasi-80s job.

It's Russ LeRoq, apparently. Ronaldinho has shit hair. And teeth. He looks like Agnes Dipesto from Moonlighting.

Thank you, Ailsa.

No sacrifice is too great for Ronaldo. His new haircut is designed to fool the Turkish keeper into thinking his head is the ball and grasping it cleanly from his shoulders at a corner while Rivaldo nips round the back to slot the real ball home, leaving the keeper with egg on his face and a bloody mess in his hands.

Oh dear, I think Brazil are going to win 8-0 today.

Ronaldinho's hair is indeed a ruddy disgrace. I have no idea what Debarge look like, but I'm sure it's something along those lines.
