Enjoying the World Cup, it’s not hard to notice that footballers sport their sense of style, with an effortless intention to have it achieve iconic status. Designer stubbles, and beards manicured to look anything but scruffy, have been in vogue for quite a while, but for footballers, it’s always been a part of how they express themselves. Several players are looked up to with admiration by many, but the players don’t always owe this only to their on-field skills, but also to the styles they sport. Footballers have a fan-following as much for how they carry their styles, exuding charisma. And among all of that are the beards that surely help in making a compelling statement. Take a look at these signature styles in facial hair that have made an impression in the ongoing FIFA World Cup, and see if you’d like to try any…

He keeps his beard well-trimmed and groomed—something that Indian men would definitely like for themselves, given the weather.
