Why is Zlatan such a sacred cow?

 

Because he is one of the most highly decorated strikers of his generation and has plied his trade for some of the best teams in Europe?

 

And he's Swedish.

 

:lol:

Oh, and well done to Hodgson for decisively changing the match with that substitution. The bloke deserves huge amount of credit so far.

 

Aye, Capello would have just brough Heskey on for Milner.

Just got home. Surprisingly enjoyable game and really good performance from England. We surprised Europe by actually playing some football. I watched it with another Geordie and an Arsenal fan. We slagged off Carroll and then he scored. When Walcott came on we slagged him off too and then he scored as well. We were in an Italian restaurant and they kept bringing us celebratory free drinks. Excellent night.

Clearly my tone was wrong. Ibrahimovic clearly isn't "shit", but he was fucking woeful tonight, as he has been in pretty much every game I've ever seen him play live in. One of those players that you always hear is really good, but every time I watch him I think "is that it?".

 

You must have been watching a different game tonight like. There were some truly woeful performances in that Sweden team and a couple in the England team but he certainly wasn't one of them.

Great photo.

Needs to be 'shopped into a scene from Blade or something that.

He was like. Every time he got the ball he dwelled on it, hogged it, or tried to be too fancy. I can think of four or five occasions in the 2nd half alone where he tried to do it all himself when there were other better placed players. Don't see the fuss personally.

 

If anything he tried the pass far too often. Mental.

 

Some people will see what they want to see at times I guess.

Sure your not confusing him with Elmander? because what your describing is exactly what Elmander did on many occasions tonight.....

f*** off Zlatan, no way were Sweden the better team.

 

Thought it was a scrappy game that could of gone either way tbh and the time that took their chances would win it and luckily that turned out to be us.

 

Don't think either team could claim their were easily better than the other.

Same. But there's no way Roy plays 4-3-3. Rooney behind Welbeck.
