The World Cup is over already, and the countdown to the next one in four years time begins. While there were many surprises indeed, what was more surprising is the comeback of the Afro hairstyle. Before we thread any further take a look at Diego, a character from CW's The Originals:

1. He's an afro-sporting vampire.


2. He's got some serious fro going on.


3. He's fiesty and mean.


Familiar with the 'fro just yet? Here are some players who looked just like Diego who played in the recent World Cup.

Marouane Fellaini  Belgium


Benoît Assou-Ekotto  Cameroon


David Luiz –  Brazil


Marcelo - Brazil


Dante –  Brazil


Guillermo Ochoa –  Mexico


Willian Borges da Silva - Brazil


Axel Witsel - Belgium


Still, they couldn't beat Carlos Valderama.


Afros. Yay or nay?
