Zlatan Ibrahimović has never been one to mince his words. So why start now? In the time since retiring from active football, the Swedish superstar has also made a name for himself as a TV pundit on 'Fox Sports', among other things. As usual, he has been firing off one-liners left and right. A number of World Cup nations also got a taste of his sharp tongue after being knocked out of the tournament. Among them was the German national team. 

For his punchy remarks, he also occasionally resorted to stereotypes.

  • "The USA are out. So your American Dream is over. Next time, call it football, not soccer, okay?”
  • “Portugal? Close. But close isn’t enough.”
  •  “Mexico? Enjoy your tacos. Amigos, adios.”
  •  “Brazil? You’re out. The samba goes on - in Brazil. Until next time.”
  • “Sweden? I told you. There is no new Zlatan. You’re out.”
  •  “Germany? It’s over. Now you can drink a consolation beer.”

Did he run out of stereotypes, or where are the jabs for the rest of the teams heading home from the World Cup?
