Four years is a good amount of time for a person to change.
So I decided to take a look at players who have played in a lot of World Cups and see their evolution every time they played in the world’s greatest competition. I picked welll known players in football (and DaMarcus Beasley for the USMNT fans) and what I learned was this:
- Cristiano will certainly come to Russia with a new snazzy haircut
- Messi will be way more tatted this go around
- Samuel Eto’o doesn’t age
- We must all hope we age like Gianluigi Buffon
