Over the past decade, international soccer has had no shortage of weird haircuts and weirder tattoos.

It’s all about “look at me”. It’s about branding yourself — sometimes rather literally.

I get it, to the extent that someone in the upper rows of a big stadium might have trouble distinguishing between players down on the pitch below — where they seem hardly bigger than ants.

But if you wear your hair in a “man bun” or the ever popular spiky Mohawk, or you have stained yourself from head to toe in indelible ink … well, chances are you will be easier to pick out of a crowd. It stands to reason, when you’ve got (hopefully) unique characteristics.

Ground Zero for hair and tattoo expression seems to be Europe, and perhaps it makes sense that Euro 2016 tournament, which has been a parade of 24 teams, here in France, would put on display daily some of the cutting-edge/most-ridiculous hair and tats.

And The Guardian, the English newspaper covering all things Euro, has come up with a couple of fun multiple-choice tests to see just how much you really know about Euro hair and Euro ink.

Here is the first — coming up with the correct name, from a choice of four, that links the player with his hair. Mostly on head, but also on chin.

I got only three of 10 correct, which is hardly better than random selection.

The players would have assumed I would be able to identify more of them, given how much time they sat in some barber’s chair to come up with that … hot mess.

But I’m sorry — the dyed-blond afro is hardly unique anymore. And I have trouble remembering which Slavs have most recently dyed their heads in the colors of their flag.

Here is the second quiz: Identify players by their tattoo or tattoos.

The Guardian has a good summary head above the quiz: “Today’s quiz is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling”.

Even more than the rest of us, soccer players live in the moment but they also seem to think that living in that moment of fame/infamy will last forever.

Because it is very difficult to remove a tattoo — for, say, when your career ends after a few years and you go in for an interview to coach kids teams … with tattoos crowding up under your chin.

I was correct on seven of 11 of these — though I concede that several of the correct responses came from being able to identify the colors on the jersey or even the shade of un-inked skin. (The guy with red hair on his arm … well, he is not likely to be Italian.)

So, anyway, it’s fun, in a sort of disturbing way.

It seems like defacing yourself as these guys do … well, shouldn’t they have a higher response rate from fans than they are getting from me?

Maybe the kids are better at this than I am.
