World Cup semi-final showdown: Emiliano Martinez will be sporting the Argentina colours on the side of his head against England in the highly anticipated clash taking place today in Atlanta.
This fixture promises tension as the defending champions face off against one of their oldest footballing rivals, with the notoriously outspoken goalkeeper using his bold aesthetic choice as a declaration of his patriotism.
Style evolution during the tournament: The Aston Villa goalkeeper has continuously adapted and updated his look throughout the current competition, initially opting to have his shirt number, 23, etched into the side of his hair.
He first showcased that design during Argentina's opening group stage match against Algeria, before returning to the full-colour flag representation as the tournament stakes grew higher in the knockout rounds.
Provoking French supporters in Paris: His vibrant choice of hairstyle is by no means reserved for his international duties, as the polarising shot-stopper deliberately used the exact same look as a provocation when facing Paris Saint-Germain during a tense Champions League quarter-final clash.
