Wonder what prompted it, he's been rather vocal against racism in Sweden. thats an infamous FOX News anchor quote about Lebron from a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Zlatan is now continuing his criticism of Lebron. what a clearing in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Didn't he say his hero was Muhammad Ali? I'm guessing he didn't really know much about his history. Zlatan used to be brilliant at straddling the line between brilliant and obnoxious but he's just been completely shitting on his legacy in recent times. He's just an asshole now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 A couple of Swedish sources are claiming he is set to return to the Swedish International side for the games in late March. Would be quite the shock that even thou there has been speculation. Would be a huge lift for especially the young players like Isak and Kulusevski and Sweden badly lack leadership in the team. Current starting striker Marcus Berg is only a couple years younger and will be playing in the Swedish league come the Euro's and Robin Quaison has been injured a lot this season. A pairing od Zlatan and Alexander Isak would be rather exiting. Still doubt it will happen thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I think its a disgrace if he comes back to play in the Euros when others have went to far flung countries to play or even sit on the bench in qualifiers. He was dreadful in the last tournament he played amd Sweden clearly are better without him. They dont get to the World Cup quarters in 2018 with Zlatan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont get to the World Cup quarters in 2018 with Zlatan I see this opinion from time to time, in Sweden it's mostly from the type of people who vote for the brown party who always hated Zlatan. It' totally ignores that we shifted manager in 2016 and went from Eerik Hamrén to Janne Andersson. So basically went from Tactics Tim to a Lars Lagerbäck situation. It's like claiming that the reason Villa improved when Bruce left and Smith came in is actually down to that Terry retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players realise you have to play yourself instead of just passing to the only superstar in your team. Toivonen and Berg are average forwards but they did a better tournament for Sweden than they had since 1994 because of the work rate. I dont think Sweden qualify for 2018 with Zlatan as they needed a tough qualifying campaign and needed workhorses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Nah don't buy that at all and never have/will. But Toivonen and especially Berg did a smashing job. Performance vise Sweden were much better in the 2002 WC and in the Portugal Euro's 2004. We did reach the quarter finals in 2018 but performances were pretty meh, never looked like a threat to anyone and were embarrassing against England. Obviously the team was pretty poor so well done to everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 They battered Mexico, unlucky vs Germany and beat a tough Swiss team for a team nobody expected to get out of the group stage. Pretty impressive tournament No chance for me they get through qualifying vs France, Netherlands and Italy with Zlatan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returning for Sweden was a stupid move for his ego to play in a tournament, he looked dreadful on his return. Plus his idiotic fight with Lebron james and his singing with mihajlovic and now a movie All unneccesary distractions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 The Mihajlovic thing was when he was injured, and I imagine the LeBron thing took about 1h out of his time. And while he played a very safe figure for Sweden he still assisted to the opening goal in both games he played. He also went home to spend a bit of time with his family that is staying in Stockholm instead of Milan currently. But I guess one could side with his younger son who got really sad when he went away with Sweden rather than stay home during the international break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
