You know it is a big game when Ibra heads out to watch.
If you had the pleasure of reading Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s autobiography, you will know that he thinks he is the best player in the world. And to be fair to the mercurial Swede, on his very good days, he’s not far off. So for Zlatan to get out of his house and go watch ‘others’ play football is kind of a big deal.
That tells you how eagerly anticipated the England game with Uruguay was as Ibra made the effort and is in the crowd, as this screen grab from French TV shows.

We’re sure he knows he could do better than the fairly poor stuff we’ve watched in the first 20 minutes.
