He won his 10th Golden Ball for best Swedish player on Monday. Needless to say an absolute record.

It's not a really impressive feat I'd say. If anything, it says a lot how poor the other competitors are, sadly...

Zlatan could move to MLS or even Qatar and would still be a huge favorite for the prize.

He'll mostly win the award every year until he retire.

Yes of course, the country is so small it's not like an elite player comes along very often.

Yeah, because really good players in Portugal, Croatia and Uruguay (to name a few) doesn't comes along even though their population are equal or even lesser than Sweden...

Should we hate Sweden for not giving enough competition to Ibrahimovic in an award show? 9M inhabitants, it doesn't shock me that he's won it 10 times. Same way Ronaldo or Suarez would dominate it for their countries at the moment.
Keep hating on every single thing Ibrahimovic related, did he make fun of your family or something?

Zlatan is a really good player without further question (although he's declined a bit) but that doesn't wash away from what I said. Not only do we have a single world class player (aside Zlatan) but we don't even have a player who's good enough for a EL-team from any of Europes best leagues. The majority are bench warmers, playing for poor clubs in lesser leagues and so on. Our most pronising player belongs to a certain Spanish club and he's more known for talking ito the media rather than for his abilities on the pitch. I don't think we'll another Swedish player win 10 golden balls due to poor competitors...

And please, it's kinda silly when you still insist use the population-argument. The few examples I mentioned proves against that Sweden doesn't need a big population to be successful.

Hate? So you say that it's just hate when I rightfully critizice Zlatan when he was a douchebag against a jornalist who asked a normal question? Or elbow Terry on purpose? I'm not afraid to call it out when I see such things but what can I expect from a Zlatanist who even defended the Swede about the latter.

Every negative thing about our might god, even if it's justify, some will considered itas a hate... :lol:

Zlatan's our equivalent of Cristiano Ronaldo sadly. At least when it comes to free kicks.

Statistically speaking, he's our worse free kick taker and Z is still our first choice even though Källström and Larsson are much better than him...

He has scored like 3 out of 1,000,000 free kicks - please Ibra, just stop taking them!
Anyway, wasn't a great or even good game - I have to admit he's slowly past it.
