    im about to have that problem too, and id be interested in what people have to say. ive seen like little bands or what look to be shoelaces, though i havent tried it.

    and im sure some smartass is gonna say 'get a haircut'. well thats just not an option.

    You can put it behind your ears. That's what I do. When you get sweaty enough it'll stick to the side of your head so it won't go flapping everywhere. It works for me.

    Or you could put it in a pony tail. When I do that I look like Triple H, though, so I don't do it much. =P

    ......here comes the smartass......

    you could just cut it........lol

    Go out and buy a hairband(a skinny one)......and then put it about 3 inches back on your head....this will hold the front down and prevent any from getting in your way....I have some friends that do this...

    Do like I did. It is a well know fact that everytime you make love you lose one hair off your head. Then go wild until you are bald.

    just use tons of gel, comb it back and then it will never get in your face!

    I agree with the study of Argentina's national side with the exception of Sabba they all have long hair.

    Or you could just cut it into a mullet like Joe Dirt and various bikers and mobile home owner's as well as many of the former NPSL player from the east coast teams in that league.

    In my rec league, I used to wear a bandanna to hold back the long hair. You can fold it over a couple times and use it like a sweatband, or use it as a triangle and then tie it to cover the entire top of the head.

    You can use pre wrap and roll it up. Then tie it around your head.

    Make your hair just like Chia Pet. You can call it Chia Head. Then later you can buy Sea Monkeys[T] and relive all of the horrible 70's commercials.

    just do what i do and soak your head before you play, then use that little elastic band that beckham used to use and put it under and around your hair so you can pull it out of your face. just be sure to head the ball the right way cuz it could knock it out of place, then you will look like an idiot trying to fix your hair during the game. it works for me. sometimes i even put some gel in it before a game so it stays back even more. the more you sweat the less you have to worry. have fun :eek:
