Given that barely a week passes by without Pogba doing something daft to his hair, it was never in doubt that he’d be treating us to something new for Euro 2016.
#Juventus and #FRA midfielder #Pogba has updated his hair for #EURO2016. Thoughts? #Pogboom pic.twitter.com/ykvIIQv3K8

But as viewers of the Croatia v Turkey match will have noticed, the French midfielder isn’t the only man at the finals with a fancy new patriotic haircut.
Inter Milan striker Ivan Perišić, not as well known for his flamboyantly-coiffed hairdos as Pogba, unveiled this…
While some will point out that this is a reference to his shirt number, we like to imagine that he’s asked his barber for a number four. Along with the four, Perišić also has this shaved into the other side of his head…
Is that a penis shaved into Perišić hair? #CRO

Err, no Taylor, no it’s not. And in truth, we’ve not seen too many penises shaped like that either. It is in fact an outline of Croatia.

Wow. It seems there are quite a few Croatian-shaped penises out there after all.
Perisic looks like someone's shaved a cock into his hair

You get the idea.
Cocks aside, the decision to shave a number four into his head also prompted plenty of discussion.
Just a reminder that Ivan Perišić is 27 years old. He has his squad number stencilled into his hair.

What possessed Perisic to have his shirt number shaved into his hair. Not a good look #TURCRO #EURO2016 #hideous

While we salute Perišić’s efforts, we’re not sure that he’s quite ready to challenge Mr. Pogba in the swag stakes just yet.
Don’t ever accuse us of failing to bring you the big football stories.
