MLS Thread: Enter Zlatan

[Spring in Fialta]

He is from my town.

No one cares.

 

[John Pedro]

He is from my town.

Wrong. YOU are from HIS town/country/planet.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

That game just reminded me how great of a left back Ashley Cole was in the Premier League. I still can't believe he plays for my hometown team and he's not even a DP.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Came here to say ZLATAN!

I tried hard to dislike the guy throughout his career but what a boss.

On my Facebook feed I see a lot of people whether ones who live in NA or overseas (Europe, Middle East, Asia, etc) sharing video of his first goal tonight. It’s everywhere worldwide. Great visibility for the MLS.

Same here. He's the best thing to happen to the league in awhile.

Badji > Zlatan

 

[les Habs]

I supposed you can put out a full page ad if you're going to do that. Too bad el Condorito didn't work at Barça.

 

[Power Man]

How it feels to play FIFA on semi pro

 

[Gecklund]

Badji > Zlatan

Are you talking about the goals or the players? Didn’t Badji score a goal from 50 yards out or was that Gashi?

 

[Panteras]

after the game Chuck Norris asked Zlatan for an autograph

 

[Troubadour]

LMAO

I wouldn't want him playing for my team, but Ibra owns.

After the match: "I heard the crowd chanting "Zlatan!" So I gave them Zlatan."

 

[Savi]

I, for one, welcome our new zLAtan overlord.

it would have been better if you'd photoshopped that picture

Gashi in the playoffs against the Galaxy

Zlatan's first goal against LAFC was him outclassing the competition. He knew the keeper was out and what he had to do, and did it. World Class read.

Second and winning goal was off sides; but still, creates the drama so befitting of Zlatan. Great header regardless to win it for Galaxy.

Great presser afterwards. I will be following Zlatan and his participation in MLS .....

 

[Timeless Winter]

Zlatan was not offsides, the ball was.

 

[hatterson]

Zlatan was not offsides, the ball was.

It's really close if he's ahead of the ball or not.

I think he's just barely off, but it's close enough I don't think even VAR should overturn it if it was an issue.

This is exactly my thought it looks like he is so marginally offside that it’s never going to be called.

Onside

 

[hatterson]

Where's that screenshot from? Looks almost like a refcam.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

There should be no excuses for blowing a 3-0 lead.

Strongly recommend turning on the TFC-America game.

 

[kingsboy11]

Super glad Toronto won, but all America has to do is score 2 goals and not concede at Azteca which is very much doable.
