While TV3 and RTE have done an admirable and solid job of presenting the Euros, Slaven Bilic has been tearing it up like nobody's business on ITV. The West Ham manager began the tournament by dropping the F-Bomb on air, and continued it by basking fervently in the great exuberance of Dimitri Payet:
Find someone who loves you as much as Bilic loves Payet. https://t.co/a3Bx1YA1Do

He has continued as he began the tournament.He was terrific in picking apart England's 0-0 draw with Slovakia last night, saying that ITV's usual love-fest over Roy's Boys' ability to keep possession was pointless against a side who didn't want the ball. Bilic was excellent on tonight's coverage also. German legend Lothar Mattheus recalled the end of his international career - against Croatia at France'98 - and Bilic took the necessary decision to remind him of the result:

Marvellous. Pundit of the Euros? Probably.
