Ivan Perisic’s latest hairdo leaves Paul Pogba firmly in the shade

His second of the tournament...

There’s something about major football tournaments that makes footballers do daft stuff to their hair.

Whether it’s the Romanian 1998 World Cup team’s tribute to Eminem…

… or Brazilian Ronaldo doing this, four years later…

… you’re guaranteed to see some multi-millionaire footballer make themselves look a bit silly.

This tournament, the smart money would’ve gone on Paul Pogba to be sporting something unusual on his head. Sure enough, he appeared for the opener against Romania with a cockerel shaved on the side of his head – but he wasn’t the only man at the tournament with a patriotic haircut…

Croatia’s Ivan Perisic, fresh from bagging a deflected winner against Spain, is now on his *second* of the tournament.

His first saw him shave a number four (literally) into the back of his head along with an outline of his country (which many people thought looked like a penis).

Now, ahead of Croatia’s last 16 match with Portugal, the Inter Milan star has turned up with an even more eye-catching hairdo. Just take a look at this…

We certainly can’t knock his effort, can we?
