That third goal of his, wow! One of the fastest strikes from distance I've ever seen, and the gasp of disbelief from the crowd when it hits the back of the net, just sublime.

Yup. Insane player.

An argument previously levelled against him was that he hadn't done anything England or English sides. Frankly a ridiculous argument irrespective of the fact that he then went on to get a hatrick against us.
The guy is a legend, unreal player.
And judging by the love on this thread and the fact that no one has slated him he seems to finally be getting the recognition he has deserved for years.
Whilst his third goal was undoubtably awesome, I preferred the second, beautiful touch. And these 4 goals follow another majestic goal at the weekend.
I will be most upset if he's not at the world cup next year.

and he is so f ing strong.When he's not scoring sublime goals he is bullying defenders all over the pitch - well, in the final third anyway!

Yes. I mean, he's only won titles in Sweden, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France.
He's only won the "golden foot" once, Ligue 1 footballer of the year, featured in the Euro 2012 team of the tournament, been Serie A top scorer and Serie A footballer of the year, and accredited with the highest number of Champions League assists last season. Oh, and been Swedish Male Athlete of the Year twice.
And he must stand a good chance of finally winning the Champions League this season as PSG look amazing again.
So Marshy, how exactly is Zlatan "4 goals against England last time we played" Ibrahimovic overrated? Seriously, what more do you expect him to do to justify his hype?

I used to love the lazy TV types saying he wasn't that good because he hadn't scored against English sides in the Champions League (until he scored for Barca (I think) against Arsenal).
Up there with Shearer's "to be honest, nobody knows anything about this Ben Arfa".

TV types don't seem to do any research beyond their own opinions. I am sure there are some pundits etc who do, but the majority seem ignorant to footballers not playing in the Premier League.
This is why people like Shearer, Townsend, Hansen should be put out to pasture.
Whether or not that statement is true is actually besides the point - pundits like Shearer are PAID to find out about such players (and indeed, entire teams) for the big tournaments, not to go and play golf between matches.
