Greatest Swedish sportsman ever

Bjorn Borg was GREAT at tennis. He won Wimbledon what, 5 years in a row? THat's crazy, and even his losing to McEnroe for the 6th was epic. I don't really follow football(I call it football because the Americans are lame for not choosing a different name and the NFL sucks anyways), so could just stay out of this I suppose, but has Zlatan won a world cup or multiple European chapmionships, anything like that? I don't doubt he's a better pure athlete than Borg was or whatever and I know team sports are much different(which is why I don't watch them), but he's being a baby to cry about this if he doesn't have the resume.

Borg(resistance is futile, i think it's the same guy :S) certainly should be ahead of ibracadabra... as mr borg actually won some international tournaments! Ibra is certainly amazing and won some nice league titles but mr borg won the best of the best multiple times... Even though I am a great Henrik larsson fan I would have to say ibra is better and has had a greater career than good old HEnrik had.

I think Zlatans comments might just be a game to enhance his "Zlatan(tm)" image though

Also I would vote the borg collective into 2nd place, the greatest swede is clearly magnus samuelson ! who is lucky this is not the greatest nordic sportsman or he himself would be beaten into 2nd place by jouko ahola !

Zlatan is a good player but not great although in this match he scored the most amazing goal I have ever seen. He is a black belt martial arts expert and you can see why.

@Stickgrappler will appreciate it.

I'd have given it to Tomas Brolin

Steffan Edberg and Borg does make great underwear.

When asked what he bought his wife for her birthday Zlatan said "Nothing, she already has Zlatan".

When asked about being offered a trail at Arsenal when he was 17 years of age he said "Zlatan does not do auditions".

When talking about Pep Guardiola's management style "Advanced bullshit about blood sweat and tears that kind of stuff".

Next to his official wax work model "one is made of wax, the other is made of steel".

Peter Mangs, a Swedish gunman behind a string of shootings between 2003 and 2010 in Malmo, has claimed he once came close to shooting the footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic for parking illegally.

Mangs says that he saw the footballer’s red Ferrari on a pavement and became so angry at Ibrahimovic’s “typically Balkan behaviour” – a reference to the striker’s Bosnian heritage – that he returned home to get his gun.

“I thought there would be a proper hullabaloo in the media if the gent in question were to be shot,” Mangs has written in a new book about his life. However, when he returned to where Ibrahimovic’s car was parked, the footballer had left.

Mangs was arrested in November 2010 following a manhunt for a gunman police had linked to more than a dozen shootings in 2009-2010 in Sweden’s third-largest city, Malmo, where about 40% of the 300,000 residents are first- or second-generation immigrants. Police later said he was also involved in shootings before that period.

The victims were shot through windows of apartments, businesses, parked cars, or as they were walking along the street. A court convicted Mangs of 13 out of 20 charges he faced, including two counts of murder and four attempted murders, and ruled that he underwent a psychiatric evaluation.

Judges said there was compelling evidence to show that Mangs had shot and killed two people: 20-year-old Trez West Persson in 2009, while she sat in a car; and 66-year-old Iranian-born Kooros Effatian, in the victim’s home in 2003.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic books Malmo city square for fans to watch PSG Champions League match

I'm on my way."

I previously said that the game will be heard all over Malmö. Now I've also made sure that all of Malmö will be able to watch the game. I've booked the Main Square where the game on Nov. 25 will be broadcast live. All are welcome! More surprises await that day. I'm on my way ...

That was Zlatan Ibrahimovic's message to Malmo fans ahead of PSG's visit in the Champions League on 25 November.

The striker began his career at the Swedish club in 1999 and left for Ajax in 2001 before going on to play for Juventus, Barcelona, Inter, Milan and now PSG.

Ibrahimovic, who has scored 57 goals in 107 games for Sweden, posted this on Instagram.

Props Master! dayum that was cool! the goal was a lucky goal, but the presence of mind to execute the flying kick to launch ball in the general direction of the goal was awesome

and of course the flying kick was a beauty! the run-one-way-then-put-on-the-brakes-to-run-the-other-way and then the flying kick itself, the timing, not missing the ball was one to behold for the ages!

Thank you Master!
