Wouldn't say I do. I think he's a good player, but he definately has his ups and downs in the national team. To be honest though, he was one of the few who actually played good football in the Ukraine match.
As a Dutchman, I can say: Respect for Sweden. Especially for Dutchmen it's great to see you managing this, because it consists of Eredivisie, Dutch league players. We didnt play against you with Ibra, but I'm interested if we collide at the European Championships!
Zlatan is like a giant amongst midgets...lol...so much power and strength, this guy destroyed Arsenal in Champions League, and I think he will do it again soon..
@akebooshii Of course I did! And I am proud of the audience! "Za dom spremni" is an medievel Croatian salute, which was first metioned in the Opera "Obsidio Szigetiana" in 1646. Subic Zrinski was a Croatian nobleman who fought in many battles, but his most famous and also his last battle was the siege of Szigetvar, where 2000 Croats defended the town Szigetvar in Hungary against the Osman army of over 100 000 men.
Nope. I was actually surprised Zlatan played so well, because sadly he always fucks up. Wilhelmsson played really well against Ukraine. I would say Zlatan and Wilhelmsson were the two who actually played that game.
If Sweden just plays on other players to score, rather than just Zlatan, we have a pretty good chance at getting out of this group alive. Most games when Zlatan is not around, Sweden play really well, because different players get their chances at scoring. Rather than just Zlatan getting the ball to shoot 70% of the time, other forwards/midfielders get to shoot and it usually works out pretty good. Not saying Zlatan isn't good, he really is, just not always playing great ALONE in Sweden.
Doesn't make him Swedish though. He is still Bosnian/Croatian. Though, as a Swede myself, I think he's a very good player, but I don't like how everyone thinks he should play keypositions all the time. It's always, pass Zlatan, he will score because he plays in Milan, Barca etc. but it doesn't always work out that well. But nowadays it's gotten a bit better. Atleast 4 different players, Zlatan included, usually get equal chances at scoring, and it usually ends in Sweden scoring many goals.
"Isaksson är den mest skyldige i den här situationen som kryper upp lite för mycket i ryggen på Jonas utan att tala om för honom att han kommer" Kan misstolkas! ^^
I mean by ethnicity. He is not a Swede, which is pretty obvious. He is however born in Sweden and is therefore Swedish by paper and a Swedish citizen. Also, I never said he shouldn't be playing there, so I don't understand what your problem is. I do not become Chinese because I move there, neither do my kids become Chinese because they happen to be born there. For that I'd say you would need at least one Chinese parent, and yet it's questionable whether the kids would be ethnic Chinese.
@CaptainXero the rankings are pure math, nothing to do with perception. nobody in fifa "rates" Croatia in top 10, we are there because this was only our 6th defeat in the last 6 years, and nothing affects your average points like a defeat (0 pts)
@CaptainXero and anyway, you can't judge by a friendly. even here croatia dominated possession throughout most of the match. sometimes it works, sometimes you get beaten on the counter.
first, real madrid was considered as the best real madrid of all time and they were champions of spain. and bayern beat them. they played out chelsea but just couldnt score just like barcelona. bayern should have won the champions league, everyone knows that.
u know, im dating a croatian girl, im not even lying or joking. Cuz i mean, the croatian girls really deserve real men for a change... mr.ivandrago143 :D
Hm.... Sebastian Larsson scored 2 times, our goalkeeper who made the awesome save at 1:26 and they're all Swedes. Zlatan is only half-Croatian. PS. Have you seen Isaksson? He is tall to -.-
@MrLINK95 If Croatia is better why did they lose? being a friendly match has nothing to do with it. Croatia has had many stars before, but right now im doubting that they will go far in European championship this summer.
Sweden needs to play more on different players during attacking, and less on Zlatan. Ibrahimovic is good, but he should not play as the only forward in the fucking team. The more players going for shots (Toivonen, Elmander, Ibrahimovic, Larsson) the easier it will be to score.
If you base a teams quality on one game my friend than you dont know soccer... Panama beat Brazil couple of months back, does that mean they better? Go by Rankings...and keep in mind, Croatia lost their first friendly last Euro-cup as well... ^ ^
Define Swede... As far as you are born in Sweden you are a Swedish citizen with a Swedish passport. That is enough to qualify into the national team, end of story.
@Lov3RsPk well, at least i watched the match in question. croatia dominated posession almost the entre game, until the last 20 minutes or so. after the third goal we fell mentally and physically. but why do you get offended? so what if we dominated possesion. i'd much rather we played more directly, instead of packing the midfield with players who just pass the ball to no end and then conceding goals through opposition's direct play.
Oh, did Zlatan play for Sweden 1958 or 1994? Croatia had a good tournament 98 where they ended up at third place, but thats all. And Zlatan is the only good Swedish athlete i can think of that has immigrated from Ex-Yugoslavia. And Sweden has had more succesfull players than him.
@saviz03 I dont fucking cae we have no chance vs geramny, Holland, Italy or Spain etc. Our group is England, France and Ukraine. we have ALL chances to go throught and even win the group. It's feel really good. Nobody have said we are gonna win the trophy.
@TheDejay91 never said croatia were better, the other guy was laughing at croatia, claiming we were finally exposed and we never achieve anything (then what is sweden if it took you 4 matches to finally not lose?). read what someone is respondig to first, i'm certanily more realistic than that other guy. "Sweden...destroyed them in every aspect of the game." you were certainly better, but didn't "destroy" us - we had you penned up in your box for some 40'
@CaptainXero oh and one more thing :D "not done a single meaningful thing since 1998" euro2008 - undefeated, 9 pts in a group with germany, knocked out on penalties in the QF (Turks equalized in the last minute)
Har kollat på många olika fotbollsklipp här nu och Zlatan har legat bakom nästan samtliga mål med assist eller gjort mål själv. Förstår inte dom som säger att han aldrig nätar i landslaget, enda gången dom andra nätar så passar ju Zlatan.
+Noobs343 Jag tror faktiskt inte någon säger det längre. Numer gör ju Zlatan, som du säger, i princip allt i offensiv väg för Sverige. Spola tillbaka klockan till typ 2006-2008 så var den kritiken dock ganska befogad.
Kaben Jo och många säger fortfarande att Zlatan inte är någon i landslaget och bestyrker någon statistik från 2005 om att landslaget gör fler mål när Zlatan inte spelar, men det är ju bara idioter som inte vet något om fotboll
@Lov3RsPk "You had about 2 good chances" never said we weren't sterile, quite the contrary. i was only disputing what you said about possession. link? download the game. as you think you raped us, you can burn it on a cd later. i checked soccerway, whoscored and worldfootball, coulnd't find anything. even if it was cca. 50/50 at the end, that's because we stopped playing after 3rd goal. that's what affected your perception. you were better, but there's no need to put you opponent down
It was just a friendly...dont get too excited. swe will not have a chance against the big boys..germany,holland, italy or spain in a major tournament..different level and quality. Also swedish domestic league is worst than english div3...horrible to watch. Zlatan is one of the best players in the world thou..I give you that.
You should go look up some facts.. Sweden has won a silver and 2 bronzes in the world cup and an olympic gold in football. We're also one of the 10 most succesful countries in the history of the olympic games. You also said that our food sucks, atleast we have one dish that is famous worldwide(swedish meatballs). I dont even know what kind of food you eat down in Croatia.
your right! just forget about him, he probably has no clue about football...;) he says croatia is shit too (almost defeated spain, but penalty was not given) but where does that put serbia than? LÖL
@MrLINK95 or, let me rephrase... Ofvourse Croatia took this game seriously, because these games are important to see who will be in the Euro 2012 team, so ofcourse both teams took it seriously and Croatia has some shit to sort out, i hope they go far in Euro... You shouldnt be a prick just cuz of one loss though. We beat Holland last year(one of the few that did). So we're not that bad.. :)
if your home fans who booed and shouted at us didn't attend the match, Sweden would win by 5-0. Do you think shevschenko and co. (idon't know Their names) can be compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Elm, Kallstrom, Mellberg co. i don't think so ... I 'm not sayin this to be a bad loser but you may be forgotten that you are a homenation ..
Yes, you do live in your little delusional world if you seriously think Croatia has won the world cup once and the euro 2 times. Croatia is as good as Sweden right now, but when you look at history Sweden has won so much more and had more succesful players. And unless you're from USA or Australia it's called football, not soccer. ;)
Wouldn't say I do. I think he's a good player, but he definately has his ups and downs in the national team. To be honest though, he was one of the few who actually played good football in the Ukraine match.
As a Dutchman, I can say: Respect for Sweden. Especially for Dutchmen it's great to see you managing this, because it consists of Eredivisie, Dutch league players. We didnt play against you with Ibra, but I'm interested if we collide at the European Championships!

We dominated this game, we have defeated The netherlands, Croatia and other countrie now so we can definitly beat England and France and Ukraine!
Nope. I was actually surprised Zlatan played so well, because sadly he always fucks up. Wilhelmsson played really well against Ukraine. I would say Zlatan and Wilhelmsson were the two who actually played that game.
Zlatan is actually Swedish, but his parents are Bosnian and Croatian He was born in Malmo
If Sweden just plays on other players to score, rather than just Zlatan, we have a pretty good chance at getting out of this group alive. Most games when Zlatan is not around, Sweden play really well, because different players get their chances at scoring.

Not saying Zlatan isn't good, he really is, just not always playing great ALONE in Sweden.
It took me sometime, but i finally found discussions of WW2!
King Zlatan!!
Doesn't make him Swedish though. He is still Bosnian/Croatian.
Though, as a Swede myself, I think he's a very good player, but I don't like how everyone thinks he should play keypositions all the time. It's always, pass Zlatan, he will score because he plays in Milan, Barca etc. but it doesn't always work out that well. But nowadays it's gotten a bit better.

Epic Sweden did all the goals xD
Guidetti whoho Guidetti whoho
@koolakalle hahahahaha, poor guy, I didnt notice that situation hahah, great job finding it!
@ELCrOaToS Thank you, and good luck in the Euros for you!
"Isaksson är den mest skyldige i den här situationen som kryper upp lite för mycket i ryggen på Jonas utan att tala om för honom att han kommer" Kan misstolkas! ^^
Too bad both Ukraine and England defeated us, hopefully we can keep the honour by defeating France!
Zlatan!! vilken jävla kung han är!
Is this Larsson is the old one???
Which language are they talking?
I mean by ethnicity. He is not a Swede, which is pretty obvious. He is however born in Sweden and is therefore Swedish by paper and a Swedish citizen. Also, I never said he shouldn't be playing there, so I don't understand what your problem is.
I do not become Chinese because I move there, neither do my kids become Chinese because they happen to be born there. For that I'd say you would need at least one Chinese parent, and yet it's questionable whether the kids would be ethnic Chinese.
snyggt, gör fler matcher av Sverige så prenumererar jag på dig
@rafacalzada Nope, its Seb Larsson from Sunderland. They're talking swedish, but with a horrible accent :p
@CaptainXero the rankings are pure math, nothing to do with perception. nobody in fifa "rates" Croatia in top 10, we are there because this was only our 6th defeat in the last 6 years, and nothing affects your average points like a defeat (0 pts)
They make the game look more even but actualy Sweden dominated the game
@CaptainXero and anyway, you can't judge by a friendly. even here croatia dominated possession throughout most of the match. sometimes it works, sometimes you get beaten on the counter.
TURINA IVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IVAN TURINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
coolt
@Vera8029 if they were undefeated how did they lose to Turkey?
Seb Larsson is Swedens Rooney. we have Zlatan our superhero.!!! =D
they didnt even score. we did it for them.
first, real madrid was considered as the best real madrid of all time and they were champions of spain. and bayern beat them. they played out chelsea but just couldnt score just like barcelona. bayern should have won the champions league, everyone knows that.
Undrade fan vilket språk det var på de första 3 sekunderna
Croatia is way overestimated when it comes to football.
@Marko3236 probably, but Croatia will have a hard time in the Euro 2012, same to Sweden.
u know, im dating a croatian girl, im not even lying or joking. Cuz i mean, the croatian girls really deserve real men for a change... mr.ivandrago143 :D
Isaksson-Det bästa i en dålig situation...
Hm.... Sebastian Larsson scored 2 times, our goalkeeper who made the awesome save at 1:26 and they're all Swedes. Zlatan is only half-Croatian.
PS. Have you seen Isaksson? He is tall to -.-
Zlatan var så jävla bra denna match, tror han var laddad att möta sitt hemland kroatien :)
@MrLINK95 If Croatia is better why did they lose? being a friendly match has nothing to do with it. Croatia has had many stars before, but right now im doubting that they will go far in European championship this summer.
kung zlatan och larsson
Larsson! You have to move to Chelsea ^___^
Sweden needs to play more on different players during attacking, and less on Zlatan. Ibrahimovic is good, but he should not play as the only forward in the fucking team. The more players going for shots (Toivonen, Elmander, Ibrahimovic, Larsson) the easier it will be to score.

hahahaha i love comedians
But we failed with that :(
Det var ett snyggt självmål...
In friendly match?
Springer du bara rätt, så får du bollen av zlatan rätt och då ser det sådär enkelt ut. =)
First ftw!!!
@FluxuV Did you hear how the audience sang "Za dom spremni" during the match? :p
Define Swede... As far as you are born in Sweden you are a Swedish citizen with a Swedish passport. That is enough to qualify into the national team, end of story.
@rafacalzada Which language do you think a blonde beautiful woman speaks when showing Sweden plays football? ;)
@Lov3RsPk well, at least i watched the match in question. croatia dominated posession almost the entre game, until the last 20 minutes or so. after the third goal we fell mentally and physically. but why do you get offended? so what if we dominated possesion. i'd much rather we played more directly, instead of packing the midfield with players who just pass the ball to no end and then conceding goals through opposition's direct play.
Min idrottslärares son är i landslaget
Oh, did Zlatan play for Sweden 1958 or 1994?
Croatia had a good tournament 98 where they ended up at third place, but thats all. And Zlatan is the only good Swedish athlete i can think of that has immigrated from Ex-Yugoslavia. And Sweden has had more succesfull players than him.
ja? vad hander da?
Against Ukraine, the only man that did well in sweden was Zlatan, without him it would be 4-0 to ukraine.
@FluxuV I'm Swedish. but google translated your message, you seem very upset.
Ha ha:)
@saviz03 I dont fucking cae we have no chance vs geramny, Holland, Italy or Spain etc. Our group is England, France and Ukraine. we have ALL chances to go throught and even win the group. It's feel really good. Nobody have said we are gonna win the trophy.
1:26 His balls man..
You didnt win the World Cup in 98, lol. France won that tournament. And Spain won both 2008 and 2012. Are you serious?
KONY 2012
@TheDejay91 never said croatia were better, the other guy was laughing at croatia, claiming we were finally exposed and we never achieve anything (then what is sweden if it took you 4 matches to finally not lose?). read what someone is respondig to first, i'm certanily more realistic than that other guy.
"Sweden...destroyed them in every aspect of the game."
you were certainly better, but didn't "destroy" us - we had you penned up in your box for some 40'
@CaptainXero oh and one more thing :D
"not done a single meaningful thing since 1998"
euro2008 - undefeated, 9 pts in a group with germany, knocked out on penalties in the QF (Turks equalized in the last minute)
4 goals by Sweden :P
4 goals by Sweden ^^,
00:55 misstolk xD
Hahhaha

@Lov3RsPk "You had about 2 good chances"
never said we weren't sterile, quite the contrary. i was only disputing what you said about possession.
link?
download the game. as you think you raped us, you can burn it on a cd later.
i checked soccerway, whoscored and worldfootball, coulnd't find anything.
even if it was cca. 50/50 at the end, that's because we stopped playing after 3rd goal. that's what affected your perception. you were better, but there's no need to put you opponent down
his MOTHER are croatian, not him
100% ok sweden
då är ni bäst
ibrahimovic is croatian...
It was just a friendly...dont get too excited. swe will not have a chance against the big boys..germany,holland, italy or spain in a major tournament..different level and quality. Also swedish domestic league is worst than english div3...horrible to watch. Zlatan is one of the best players in the world thou..I give you that.

Yes, you do live in your little delusional world if you seriously think Croatia has won the world cup once and the euro 2 times.
Croatia is as good as Sweden right now, but when you look at history Sweden has won so much more and had more succesful players.
