Only him Joining the illustrious group of 28 players who has scored 500 career league or international goals in football history. Second Swede after Gunnar Nordahl and along with Messi and Ronaldo the only currently active player to have done so.

Guessing it's from some unofficial games or something. Friendlies doesn't count. Edited September 16, 2018 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted September 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2018 Just spent a little while reading up on some players in that list I'd never heard of. Some fascinating stuff (albeit many of their goal records are highly disputable!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great finish thou. Where was the blatant foul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I am confused. He has scored his 500th goal twice now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Scored goal #19 and #20 in 24 games for L.A tonight in their 3-0 win over Vancouver. Had the opportunity to score a hattrick when he was brought down for a penalty at 2-0 but gave it to a teammate instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 9 goals and 2 assists so far in 8 games this season in the MLS. Zlatan being Zlatan he's also been a prick verbally towards Nedum Onuoah and continued to play the role of cartoonish wrestling bad guy to help raise the marketing value of the league. Yes, it is an act. He knows exactly what he's doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is an act. He knows exactly what he's doing. I was reading that and thought it was remarkably similar to the clash with Mings (obviously Onuoha didn’t go to the lengths of trying to stamp on Zlatan’s head though...). First of all, he grabs Onuoha by the neck and drags him to the ground (against Mings, this was also the first action; chucking him to the ground off the ball). Next, catches Onuoha on the top of the head then tells him he’s going to hurt him (against Mings, he elbowed him in the head and then tried to stamp on him before Mings actually caught Zlatan instead). Its not “an act”, Zlatan is just a massive word removed. Somehow he gets away without a bad reputation though. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 yeah was a prick move by a prick. I always remember the friendly we beat Inter at Villa Park and he tried to 2 foot Laursen. Good player, horrible person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Egomaniac, just like Ricky Gervais. It's not an act at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yeah the bullying defenders and being nasty on the pitch obviously isn't an act. I was referring to the talking in 3rd person, acting larger than life and spouting quotes on talkshows. That is brand promotion for himself and the MLS. He is a very different person in private. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Getting his own movie now, was only a matter of time of course. Just like the Ronaldo, Iniesta or Messi movie I will not watch this one. Quote Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobiography "I am Zlatan" will be a feature film. The recordings start next year and the film is planned to go up to the cinema 2021. - I feel very inspired and touched but also a bit sharpened over being a part of this big project, says director Jens Sjögren in a press release. Now it is clear that the book about Sweden's biggest football star of all time, Zlatan Ibrahimovic , will become a biofilm, writes Sydsvenskan . According to the newspaper, the recordings of the film will start during next year and the hunt for two young actors who will play Zlatan Ibrahimovic as 11 and 16 year olds will just start. "Touched and slightly sharpened" Director Jens Sjögren , who, among other things, made the TV series "Before We Die" has been commissioned to direct the film and Zlatan himself will reportedly be involved in the work with the film. - I feel very inspired and moved but also a bit sharpened over being a part of this big project, says Jens Sjögren in a press release. The script work will be completed during the autumn and the film is expected to be premiered on the screen in 2021. The self-biography "Jag är Zlatan" was released in 2011 and was written in collaboration with the author David Lagercrantz . The book is translated into more than 30 languages. https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/a/RRKEP2/boken-jag-ar-zlatan-blir-biofilm--premiar-2021 Once again you have to love google translate.
