Just looked at the England goals there, failed to get off the ground and get a header in for Carrollâs goal and was supposed to be marking Welbeck but lost him for the winner. Croppy boy obviously hasnât a clue
Mellberg was official Man of the Match http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/season=2012/man-of-the-match-award/allwinners/index.html
they conceded 3 goals you mong
croppy_boy making an absolute show of himself here.
Never said they didnât, I was just pointing out who the Man of the Match was.
You need to do something about that sand in your vagina.
I think Zlatan has put in the best performance at an international tournament since Totti at Euro 2000. He has been THAT good.
The BBC showed an interesting statistic in the build up to this game. Only two players have scored more goals at the European Championships than Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has 6 goals. Alan Shearer with 7 and Michel Platini with 9,

They were my two favourite memories of Zlatan last season. Heâs a born winner, what fire and temperament!
Didnât notice this posted on here before. A documentary on the teenage Zlatan - Swedish with English subtitles. An excellent watch (though Iâm only midway through).
Vagen Tillbaka (We Will Be Back)
Watched all of that now - a good watch. Comes across very confident but a good guy. Little brother has a Dublin Pub t-shirt which is a nice touch. Some of his older team-mates seemed like assholes.
Just watched it there, he certainly had the belief in his ability alright and the Malmo fans loved him. Decent watch, his mother seems like a lovely woman
Am I the only forum member that has read Zlatanâs book? 
His father comes across as a real hero, a proper father.
Have you watched the documentary I posted up on the prior page Rocko? Itâs very good.
Has it been translated yet mate?
The extracts that were up here few months back were excellent but it was only a chapter or two.
Yeah. Iâve it downloaded and read on my kindle. If someone can tell me how to transfer it off my kindle I will upload here for anyone that wants it.
Ibrahimovic labels himself a âliving legendâ after being honoured by his hometown
The 30-year-old spoke of his pride after being recognised in Sweden with an award, but later reacted to criticism for reportedly hiding his joy during goal celebrations
Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has labelled himself as a âliving legendâ after being honoured in his hometown of Malmo whilst on international duty.
The Sweden captain is in the city with members of the national team ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan at Swedbank Stadion.
The 30-year-old was honoured by local authorities with a place on the âWalk of Fameâ outside the stadium, a memorial for those from the city who have achieved in sport.
âIt is a great honour, it means that I have done something during my career,â Ibrahimovic was quoted as saying by France Football.
âWe usually say that you cannot become a legend before death. But I am a living legend - at least in Malmo.â
Ibrahimovic was also questioned by a local journalist who accused him of supposedly suppressing his joy during goal celebrations, drawing comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo, who had acted similarly against Granada last week.
âI see you, now you are trying to compare me to someone else. You cannot compare myself to him,â he said.
âWhen I score a goal after 27 seconds [against Lille last weekend], there are still 89 minutes to play. I prefer to show my joy after the game, because anything can happen during a match.â
Sweden face Kazakhstan in Group C of World Cup 2014 qualifying on Tuesday. Kick-off is at 20:30CET.

BERLIN (AFP) - Sweden coach Erik Hamren hailed his captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic for leading the fight back as their four unanswered goals sealed a dramatic 4-4 draw with Germany in their World Cup qualifier.
Midfielder Rasmus Elm wrote himself into Swedish football folklore with the dramatic right-footed equaliser in the 93rd minute as Sweden came back from 4-0 down with an hour gone to claim a point at Berlinâs Olympic Stadium.
â(Ibrahimovic) is our captain and our best player, his goal was fantastic, but so was the pass he received,â said Hamren after Paris St Germainâs Ibrahimovic scored the 62nd-minute header to spark the dramatic come back.
"We needed it to get some energy and he showed the way for the rest of the team.
"When we got some momentum, the players lifted around him and gave him some more support.
âHe put in a really good talk in the half-time break and he showed his class to me, he coached the other players as a good captain should do.â
Hamren said he learnt a lot about his team when asked if he had wanted to leave the stadium and go home when the fourth German goal went in.
âNo, at 4-0 down, I wanted to see what would happen and I am glad I didnât leave,â he said.
"I wanted to see the strength and pride in the team, which we had talked about during in the break.
"I wanted to see which players would fight and which players would let their heads go down.
âIf you are a loser, you want to go home, if you are a winner, you fight even when you are a long way behind.â
Joachim Loewâs Germany had been cruising thanks to two early goals from Lazioâs Miroslav Klose before Arsenalâs Per Mertesacker, then Real Madridâs Mesut Ozil gave the hosts a comfortable lead.
But Hamrenâs side roared back as Ibrahimovic headed home before Celticâs Mikael Lustig, then Galatasaryâs Johan Elmander rattled the hosts before Elm produced the shock equaliser.
âAt first the Germans did what they want, even after we pulled it back to 4-1, I didnât think we could get something out of the game,â admitted Swedenâs hero Elm.
âWhen I got my goal, I was so tired that I just hit the ball with all I had.â
Germany remain top of Group C on ten points with Sweden second in the table on seven, but with a game in hand.
This is the first time in the German Football Federationâs 104-year history they have surrendered a four goal lead and this was the first time in three years Germany have dropped points in a qualification match.
âTo sum things up, the first 60 minutes were brilliant from us, the last 30 were incredibly weak,â said Loew.
"Honestly, shortly after the game I can find no explanation as to how we let a 4-0 lead slip out of our hands.
"Itâs deathly quiet in the changing room: players are laid out on the benches and are totally speechless.
"Had we won the game, we would have been in control of the group, now things are wide open.
âHaving outplayed Sweden for 60 minutes, who were virtually invisible, we are very disappointed and we have to learn our lessons from this.â
Germany captain Philipp Lahm admitted he was also struggling to explain what went wrong.
âIt is very difficult to explain, it is hard to understand how we could be left with a 4-all draw having outplayed our opponents for the first 60 minutes,â admitted Lahm.
"At 4-1, you think, well itâs only a goal, at 4-2 you get a little worried, but before you know it, itâs a 4-4 draw.
"It is unprecedented in international football, maybe only the 3-3 draw between Liverpool and AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final compares.
âWe ticked the game off after it was 4-0, that is normal, but we let our concentration slip, made mistakes and lost our shape.â
