Unlike the NHL, NFL, CFL or even MLB, soccer players take the field without headgear. So like the NBA, they can show off a smorgasbord of style. You don’t need a golazo, nutmeg or stepover to look good — or bad — in this game.

While Donadel opts for a shocking au naturel, forward Dominic Oduro is to hair what NASA is to public transport. The charismatic Ghana international always sports a mohawk but that’s like saying Beyonce always puts on a show. The degree of difficulty and variety — for both — are extreme.
