Slaven Bilić: 3 reasons why he's cool

Exhibit A:
He's 39, manages the Croatia national team and wears a earring. I ask you, in this day and age how many national team managers sport bling? Not many.



Exhibit B:
When his not busy masterminding the team tactics or grooming his messy hair or shopping for more bling, he spends time fronting his metal band, Rawbau. You can download the album or listen to it online over here.



Exhibit C:
I'm not undermining Croatia's winning prowess, but honestly, who expected them to be THAT good? They looked like a team and played like one. In the England v. Croatia game, every time they had the ball you just knew that there were going to do something spectacular. Whereas England players looked like a bunch of headless chickens running around the mucky pitch (except Crouch and Beckham). Apart from the players, Bilić definitely deserves credit for his superb managerial skills.

Also, he looks a bit like Frankenstein, doesn't he?
