Neymar And Brazil Squad Go Blonde To Celebrate Olympic Gold

In a move reminiscent of Romania's 1998 World Cup squad, Brazil's Olympic gold medal winners have all dyed their hair peroxide blonde.

Brazil's men team became the country's first ever footballing Olympic champions, following a penalty shoot-out victory in the final at the Maracana, last week. Now Neymar and co have opted to match the likes of Lionel Messi and, erm, Phil Jones by deciding to dye their hair like that bloke from Scooter.

Hopefully they're not planning on releasing a cover of 'Blow My Whistle, Baby'

Will Luis Suarez join his fellow MSN members in the 'Phil Jones Wannabe' club? Only time will tell.
