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?
