That was on the cards the second he signed for LA.
I love the guy, though the fecking curl on that volley is unreal. Proud to say I've had the opportunity to watch him live.

Can't stop watching that first goal 
.
.Yes, it definitely is.
The likes of Thierry Henry, Lewandowski, Suarez, David Villa, Eto'o, Cavani, Van Nistelrooy etc. are/were better strikers than Zlatan. Saying otherwise, is just bias.

The bolded are just nonsense in fairness. And I loved RVN.
Nah, these names are justified for rating them as better strikers than Ibra.
As for RVN, he was ridiculously clinical in front of goal. Makes sense to mention his name.
Yeah that's just bollox.
Nah, it's completely fair.
Zlatan is still one of the best strikers I've ever seen nonetheless.
Yes, maybe some of them were better strikers but none was a better footballer. I think Zlatan is often underrated.
Am i the only one questioning the keeper being that far off his line. It wouldn’t have taken him that long to get back in goal from the freekick.
Obviously the keeper is too far off his line. That doesn't need to be said.
I can say this now he's left. I absolutely love Ibrahimovic. Hope to see more of this stuff before he hangs up his boots for good.
High quality debate that
ha ha!High quality debate that
I considered bringing up titles, goal stats, POTY awards, assist stats, longevity, doing it in every top league and at International level etc etc and then I just looked at some of the names on his list again and thought, this guy obviously aint a massive fan and despite how much I engage I know the reply. So thankfully I thought better of it for once
How can you justify Lewandowski and Cavani above Zlatan? I can see the arguments for most of the others although I disagree with pretty much all of them bar Henry, Eto'o and maybe Suarez.
Lewandowski and Zlatan have the same number of CL goals, but Zlatan has 50 games more. If you only judge them as strikers, Lewandowski is clearly better.
The only one that's clearly ahead of Zlatan in that list is Henry. Plus he beats most on longevity, while their peaks are around the same level
I just realize.. his wonder volley (1st goal) hit the very centre of the goal net, and the black thin pole.
Welcome to Zlatan indeed.
Such a larger than life maniac.

Zlatan conquered Los Angeles, MLS in 20 minutes. - Ibracadabra show!
The Lion is still hungry, Hollywood awaits next!
Are you not entertained?
Are you still unsure of what you just witnessed, you just saw god.
Its Zlatan-time!

He's going to tear the MLS apart. It's going to be man vs kids every game he plays.
I see him as a eastern European gangster in the next fast and furious
People saying the keeper was at fault sure.. Flip it, how many players would think to take the shot from there?
The best thing is how he clearly gets how amusing/ridiculous the whole act is, while at the same time totally believing in it (if that makes any sense...)
I just rewatched all his goals and assists etc from last season. I really wonder how he would have done instead of Lukaku this year if he hadn't been injured.
It just took on a life of it's own.
Like the man needed another highlight real goal.. The commentary is great as well, COME ON!!
The commentary is great as well, COME ON!!It was great - just thankful it wasn't that idiot with the Geordie accent who often commentates on US broadcasts.Like the man needed another highlight real goal..
Ha ha. Ray Hudson. He would have said, "Magisterial from the greatest Swede since Nobel! Framed like a total Bergman film, all stark angles and monochrome poetry. Like ABBA themselves, like IKEA, he's greater than the sum of his parts."
Oh god, I can totally hear it now! It's horrific!
That sounds more like the late, great Sid Waddell!
I remember when he said something like, "Lady Luck, showing her big fat cellulite-laden behind to Real Madrid." Or what about, "They dropped their knickers like a Turkish whore." In that Geordie accent! I think he gets away with it because Americans have no idea what he's saying.
Was a pleasure to watch him in a United shirt even if it was in his twilight years. Tragic that a player of his talent never won the Champions League but in spite of that he's still had some career.
That first goal is truly fantastic by the way. Doubt his ability to pull off moments like that will ever leave him no matter how long he plays and I trust we'll see many more goals like that (well, maybe not quite like that) during his time in the MLS.

I've only heard some compilations of him and I think they are absolutely fantastic. Though I can see how it can become way, way too much if you have to listen to him for a full 90min every single game.Hardly any, Stoke had the ball fall at the feet of the attacker with the keeper near the corner flag today and didn't shoot.I see him as a eastern European gangster in the next fast and furious

Yes, this is exactly it.
Came in wondering how come no one's mentioned he was offside for the winner but stayed to quote this
