The sight of Valmir Berisha poking home like a predator from close range isn’t exactly unusual here at UAE 2013. His 11th-minute opener against Japan was his third of the tournament, but it was his first with a shaved head. The assist came from winger Mirza Halvadzic, with three lines shaved into the front of his skull.
Berisha – who models his game after renegade countryman Zlatan Ibrahimovic and says Sweden can go “very far” at these finals – celebrated with his provider, the two of them running their fingers through their freshly shorn hair.
One wonders who brought along the clippers in the Sweden camp and what new hairdos we’ll see when they meet Honduras in the quarter-finals.
