The Irish Times presents an exclusive sneak preview of Brazil's possible hair arrangements for Sunday night's World Cup final. Carried away with their great penalty shoot-out escape on Tuesday night they may just feel the urge to emulate Romania, Scotland's Burley, Croatia's Stanic and Chile's Margas by reaching for the bottle of peroxide. The bleached look would go well with their jerseys, would it not? And Mario Zagallo would have to go out in sympathy.

Then again, given the fate of the other bottle blonds, they may just choose to stay as they are.
