Come anticipate Roy Hodgson's three months in charge og England with me.

Joe Hart has been crap all night.

osman's been lovely

!!!!!

oh yes

Fucking hell

:D

off he trots, not particularly giving a shit

Haven't enjoyed a friendly so much for ages. OMG.

Damn, stream died and I missed that one. Still, quite the hattrick.

And is this how Sweden are going to roll from now on?

You've gotta see the 4th IK!

Just caught a replay, lol. And lol at all of centurion Stevie's questions being about Zlatan!

And I guess that's the end of the Zlatan debate

never

My word that's astonishing

the problem with not watching England friendlies is that once every 200 matches something worth seeing happens

(just saw the proper angle)

finest human of his generation

just seen it. flukey.

this one?

yeah, coulda gone anywhere

As with most balls that are struck with the foot, yes.

Do you think he meant it?

coach always said to put it on goal and good things would happen

of course that was ice hockey

that's genuinely one of the best goals of all time

i bet if you watch all of sweden's friendlies he has done that 99 times before one finally went in

done it when it mattered tho

in the 91st min when already winning a meaningless friendly against crappy opposition

To be fair to the lad, how often can the opportunity possibly arise?

This is both true and also a kinda stupid thing to say

Hodgson - Ibrahimovic being kept on cost us a result.

still doesn't top trevor sinclair for me.

joe hart tho, love seeing him fail.

actually does get better on repeated viewings, in terms of the technique.

tho still not better than john barnes v blackburn, obviously.

ibrahimovic is a pile of shit, cowardly flash waster who never performs when it matters and is labelled "unorthodox" cos he can't play basic football. most overrated player i can think of.

these crucial goals against england in a friendly have vindicated you, as has his rise to the pinnacle of european football with paris saint germain.

it were good but nothing beats tricky trev's

i actually do think trev's was better, just the timing involved and the power, and the fact he had to beat a keeper. not to play down that goal tonight, it was amazing.

yeah well it's not like you've been posting about his enviable serie a, ligue 1 or even la liga record when he has been doing well

dude has been at the top level of european fitba for 9 seasons but like drogba has really reached another level in his 30s

I wouldn't really compare the two. It's the improvised nature of Zlatan's that makes it so special

nice goal but no goalkeeper so sinclair vs qpr was better, as was rivaldo v valencia, ronaldinho v villareal and one or two others
a lot better than twp vs citeh tho

the fact that there's no keeper is the whole point

oh wow science

this wasn't 'improvised', it was a pretty obvious option to take for a player who has the technique to execute

'improvised' might apply to the ronaldinho goal vs chelsea in 2004/5

lobbing a keeper who's foolishly rushed out of goal is one of the best sights in football. Combine that with the speed of thought and athleticism required to execute the shot and that's what makes it one of the best goals ever. So yeah, science

yes, it was so obvious

the more i watch it, the more ludicrous hart's behaviour seems. surely that header is for the defender to attempt?

lol oh god u were serious with best goalz ever

If you disregard the occasion, it is one of the best goals ever

yeah well that's why maradona v england is 10x better than messi v getafe, but even abstracted from context it's not THAT amazing

taison v whoever the other day was more technically difficult

i mean we should be able to appreciate zlatan applying a sublime fourth goal coup de grace to hart and shawx without elevating it to the pantheon

There's plenty of room in my personal pantheon. This goal goes on the "holy shit, i've never seen anyone do that before" plinth
