Neymar and Dani Alves spotted with new hair style ahead of their World Cup clash against Mexico

Neymar's wonderful performance in Brazil's 2014 World Cup opening game earned him more than just a healthy goal tally.

The Selecao embarked on their tournament campaign with a hard fought win over group A competitors Croatia, fighting back from a goal down to win the match 3-1 with Neymar and Oscar both netting past the Croat shot-stopper, Stipe Pletikosa.

The encounter brought much pride to the host nation as the win moved them to the top of their group early on in the competition, and awarded the five-time champions all three points in a game which could have seen them walk away empty-handed.

And now it appears Neymar's brace against Croatia merited the Barcelona star a new makeover, as well, as the former Santos ace dyed his hair blond, alongside fellow Blaugrana star Brazilian Dani Alves who was rocking a silver-looking hair style.

Picture of the Selecao duo's new hair look emerged as they were on training Sunday for Tuesday's game, a clash against El Tri which could see Scolari's men all but qualify if they come out with maximum points.
