During the presser, Zlatan said he was supposed to come here years ago; he was already here in his mind... but then it didn't happen. Did our FO choose Gerrard over the Zlatan!? Could we have had him this whole time, winning Cups!?
It depends, with an 8 hour time difference, getting to bed at 7:00am is like going to bed at 11:00pm. So if he was out partying and sleeping in to 3:00pm, then I am not really impressed. On the other hand, if he was working on his fitness and staying home, then I am more impressed.
Agreed. I'm not a big fan of the ego thing he has going and I generally don't like signing guys who are only going to be here a year or two but if he digs in, works hard, and scores some goals (and I expect he will) then I could certainly see myself being a fan of the guy.
LA Galaxy 4-3 Los Angeles FC: Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores winner as he hits brace on his debut to help his side secure remarkable comeback victory http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/zlatan_ibrahimovic/index.html
The match along with Ibra has got MLS trending worldwide right now.. LA does MLS right. If only these other big markets like NY, Chicago, Boston, Philly got off their asses we might have something as a league
I think it was more a case of Man U stepping in with an offer that could not be refused. Face it, big bucks and possible champion league v. us? Don't blame him for turning us down then. Don't see it as a FO failure, and you know I rarely defend our FO.
You know I'd seen him play but never listened to him talk before he came to the Galaxy. Hearing Zlatan talk it is surprising how genuine he is - post game he was describing celebrating after scoring the tying goal and he was talking about how he just wanted to share in the energy the fans were providing and if he had the energy he would have run all the way around the stadium celebrating. I have to say I'm a bit surprised to say he doesn't just come off as a big ego, but he's likeable. If yesterday was any indication it should be fun to have him around for two years.
You know he seemed slow to me - I never realized it was because he had no legs. It makes sense in hindsight but I feel bad for not noticing.

I missed this monumental match due to work and I will and do regret it. I had my reservations about the king of the jungle, I mean the arrogance, the swagger and the major $h!t coming from this dude's pie hole. It just doesn't sound or feel so PC in our pansy arse society over here. I mean we are used to the feely touchy soft as marshmallow athletes here that prefer to run their mouth on SocMed and cry about this, cry about that. And we let it all distract from what we want a bit of distraction from. But I digress when I learned the Lion wanted to be transferred from that cold little city in England to the lights, the glitz, the entertainment Capitol of the universe our fair "Ye Olde LA" I was thinking here we go Gerrard, Pirlo, Lampard maybe if we are a bit lucky KaKa 2018 season ahead. I was getting the updates on my phone and I was sick to my stomach by the 3rd goal. I turned off the updates and went about my miserable Saturday business thinking at the time of how glad I'm making money instead of at home wasting my tears and emotions. Everyone at work was busy with college basketball, NBA and MLB so it was not hard to not get any info on the end of this game. I hesitantly sat on my couch and pressed play on my dvr and watched from the start of the second half on knowing that the first 45 were just going to give me heart burn or a migraine. By the end of the match I was frozen with disbelief and questioning my own football memories. I couldn't comprehend what I just witnessed, not only a come back of monumental pre portions but a player almost single handedly destroying a pub team from the downtown area. A lot of people talk a lot and write checks with their mouths that they can't cash. Zlatan is not one of them, he said he had nothing to prove here. He was wrong in that he had to prove to me that he was not another Gerrard, Lampard or Pirlo coming to kick back and give me 5 minutes of brilliance for 2 seasons of hype and shirt sales. And boy did he deliver it was the single greatest debut in our leagues history bar none, no one comes close. To not only have the balls to talk like a boss but to get out on the pitch and in 20 minutes win the match and give us a world class stunning strike for the ages. I have no choice but to accept that the man is 100% genuine and a bad a$$. He's put the league on notice he's calling his shot and when we lift the cup MLS and that pub team from downtown better recoginze that "THIS IS zLAtan".
