#1 The entire Romanian team in 1998

FUSSBALL: WM FRANCE 98 St. Denis, 26.06.98
Oh, the yellow!

In 1994, Gheorghe Hagi and his band of plucky, over-achieving, counter-attacking Romanians took the world by storm. And they took their form right into 1998, where they qualified to the second round... beating England en-route in the group stages.

But then, nobody remembers any of that. '94 was gold-standard for Romanian football, '98 was lead-standard for Romanian fashion.

You see, having been forced to play in away red against Tunisia, Hagi, and co. decided they needed to bring back the yellow in their lives... for good luck. And the world was treated to 11 grown-ass men standing side-by-side on the biggest stage of them all with their hair dyed peroxide blonde.

Magical.
