As Zlatan a goal as you'll ever see. He's a douchebag who's ridiculously easy to dislike, but he can certainly play football.
I've never seen a human being talk such an insane amount of shit only to then go and actually back it up.
Amazing that he delivered after putting pressure on himself before he even got there with this presumptuous ad.
Nice article on English players in Sweden. Check out the last line as well.

Happy for The Lion of LA. He’s one of the few real characters in football. I wish he and Wenger had found a way to make a plan 15 years ago. Would’ve been fantastic at Arsenal.

Great read, Tony. I always wondered where all the Brits in the lower divisions came from. There's another famous example in the 90s in Vinnie Jones who played a year or two in Holmsund, a place that 99% of Swedes can't place on a map and even fewer knew had a football club.
On the subject, I don't know if you've already read it, but Daily Mail had a really good article about Graham Potter and Östersund last month: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5376771/The-story-Graham-Potter-Ostersunds.html
On closer inspection that's actually not the article I was looking for, but I can't find the other one. This one was good too though.

He's the kind of guy you'd never want to be friends with and probably hate having around you, but since he's good at kicking a ball people find him funny.
He's definitely a douchebag, but probably not for the reason most people think. He's playing that narcissistic character to perfection, but it really is a character. Most people don't seem to realise that.
Yeah I think he admitted as such in an interview a while back. His football personality and those in post game interviews are just an act he puts on and apparently in his private life he is a completely different person. Think I read somewhere one of his team mates also saying as much.
That was a great match of football. Carlos Vela scored 2 great goals in the first half as well.
Let me guess, was at least one of them a lob?
Not the classic Vela lob, but you are correct.
Looool thanks for that Quincy. I had a feeling it might be the case. It's like almost every other goal he ever scored was a lob.
That being said the defending there was diabolical. Almost Arsenalesque.
Sensational goal by some guy called juraj kucka of trabzonspor against galatasaray just now.

Wow pretty amazing. It's good for us English Boys to grow by moving abroad.
