What The F*ck Has Antoine Griezmann Done To His Hair?


You're young, you're rich and everyone loves you. Being a footballer is the best excuse to get a ridiculous haircut that everyone will mock you for and Antoine Griezmann has followed the non-fashion fashion.
Footballers have all the tools available to them to look almost perfect, and often they manage to pull it off.
The rest of us would love the money and opportunity to kit ourselves out in the best looking clothes and get close to the best stylists.
Seriously Lionel what is that suit lad? Image: PA
Lord knows my 'style' of plain t-shirts and ill fitted jeans in an attempt to cover up my ever fattening physique could do with being changed.
Usually we'll see the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo looking sharp but occasionally footballers can let it all slip, and no where more so than in the hair department.
Today Antoine Griezmann's latest trip to the hairdresser did the French forward no favours and fans were not exactly impressed:







But is it worse than any of these footballing follicle faux pas?

Atletico want £40m Diego Costa deal despite transfer ban


The Rojiblancos are the only club interested in signing the 28-year-old even though he will be unavailable until January 2018

Atletico Madrid are pushing ahead to secure a £40 million deal to sign Diego Costa, even though he will not be able to play for them until January.

The Spanish side cannot register new signings until 2018 due to a transfer ban imposed on them by FIFA for breaking rules regarding buying international players under the age of 16.
They remain the only club interested in signing the striker, who was told by Antonio Conte via text message that he is not part of his plans for next season. 

Rather than send him on loan until he becomes eligible to play, though, coach Diego Simeone would rather sign Costa and have him train with the squad for six months. 

The Spain international was unsettled in January by a £76m bid from Tianjin Quanjian, who offered to treble his wages. However, interest from the Chinese Super League has died down due to a new 100% tax on transfers from abroad that was imposed by the Chinese Football Association.


Chelsea are keen to move Costa, 28, on as they target Everton's Romelu Lukaku as a replacement. The Blues have already made over £120m in player sales in 2017.
Costa spent four years at Atletico before his move to Chelsea in 2014. He won La Liga and the Copa del Rey with the Rojiblancos and also reached the Champions League final with them in 2014.

WATCH: Compilation Of Lionel Messi's Passing Shows Just How Unreal He Is



Imagine being as good as Lionel Messi, even if it was just for one match. Think of the score your Sunday league team would rack up with you playing on Messi's level. This compilation video shows he's not just fancy runs and goals.
At this point it's fair to say that we'll never really settle the whole Messi or Ronaldo debate, at least not to a point that everyone agrees. And that's okay, let's just appreciate for them both being brilliant.

On the other hand one thing we can certainly agree with is the fact that when it comes to discussing the greatest players ever both of those men are in the discussion.
Of course it's generally their goalscoring exploits that merit their inclusion in the list however one Twitter user put together an incredible compilation video of some of Messi's ridiculous passing:

Lionel Messi ● The Top 30 Passes Ever in Career HD by dailyfootball4u

The first question I've got is how aren't more of these moves finished off by his teammates?! They'd have scored a lot more if Messi was on the end of some of his passes.

Despite not being able to defend the La Liga title or getting his hands on the Champions League trophy it was still an unreal season for Messi on a personal level.
The Argentine scored his 500th goal for Barca when he bagged a spectacular goal to win El Clasico in the last minute at the Bernabeu and ended with 37 goals in the league and 11 in the Champions League.
MessiMessi is now up to 507 goals for Barcelona in just 583 games whilst he's also bagged 58 times for Argentina.
Is there anyone better than him?
