Once Zlatan Ibrahimovic touched down in North America, the MLS was never going to be the same.
It took the big great Swede precisely one game to fully announce his arrival on the scene, as he scored what may be the goal of the season, as well as the game-winning goal in the first-ever regular season Los Angeles derby.
This week Zlatan continued to make his mark in L.A., appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, discussing his hysterically high levels of confidence, the possibility of him playing in the World Cup and whether or not he's cool with the nickname "Swedish Fish."
For anyone who has somehow managed to never to see an interview with the great Zlatan, yes that's usually how most of his interviews go. While the global superstar may come off as supremely arrogant, fans of the Lion know that the majority of what Zlatan says is very much tongue-in-cheek. That being said...he is pretty extraordinary .
Last year Zlatan retired from international soccer, but ever since Sweden clinched a spot in the 2018 World Cup, the rumor mill has been buzzing around whether or not the striker will come out of retirement for one last go.
If that's what he says he'll do, we're all for it...after all, as Zlatan said, a World Cup without him wouldn't be World Cup.
