The Great Hair Debate: Fernando Torres v Cristian Lara

By: Chris | June 27th, 2007

3. Fernando Torres ST Atletico Madrid

v

14. Cristian Lara AM LDU Quito

Torres:

The kid has been a phenom since his mid-teens, and though his game has plateaued, his hair-styling has not. He obviously emulates some of the greats, including David Beckham, but has managed to carve out his own niche with some over-the-top fashion - including one of my favorites hairdo pictures of all time, the shaved mullet. He’s so young it’s hard not to think of him as a hairstyling legend in the wings…….

(Notice the shaved eyebrow line, the man’s fashion sense extends beyond the cranium)

I say in 8-10 years this award is his to lose. He’s headed for the Pantheon of Greats.

Lara:

One of the guys who sticks out in my mind from WC 2006. He’s that pint-sized guy who came on as a substitute for Ecuador and just ran wild all over defenses. Maybe it’s because he’s an alien? Doesn’t he remind of ET? As for the hair, there’s nothing like a shaved side and mop on top. It’s a classic.

It’s going to take a serious upset to be FT, but Lara has some understated South American ridiculousness.

  Lara puts up a fight, but it has to go to Torres. Even if he never lives up to his hype as a player he still has many hair styles to offer the world.

  I thought the Diadora uniforms from last season were stellar. They had that classic/vintage look to them

  Absolutely Torres. He even seems to competently pull off the Billy Ray Cyrus mullet.

  Torres. His love of the mullet speaks true to his Spanish roots…

  I’m giving Lara +1 vote for Mike quoting ABBA lyrics and another +1 for ben forcing me to google those lyrics by pointing out it was an ABBA reference.

  Not that it matters.

  Mike, you’re on probation my friend. The fact that I lost 12 seconds of my life googling the lyrics to “Fernando” is unacceptable.

  If it helps, I thought it would be funny but quickly realized that if I posted those lyrics, the song would be stuck in my head all day. But it was too late.

  And by 4pm I looked down, only to realize I was wearing blue bell-bottoms and lovely 4″ clogs. joy.

  Probation accepted; but between you and Martha, I feel like Parma’s last few seasons (always in trouble).

  Alright, probation rescinded. I’m easy like a LA county sheriff.

  I probably would’ve found it funny if I hadn’t pictured FT’s mullet while the phrase “Oh Fernando” was playing in my head. That’s wrong in so many ways.

  And your ridiculousness is always welcome. It makes being a Roma fan at least a little bit bearable.
