Zlatan Ibrahimovic Might Single-Handedly Get Me To Watch The MLS

Zlatan has forever been a legend. I barely watch soccer and even I know this is more god than man. I know zero of the back story between the manager of LAFC and he, but I’m going to side with Zlatan calling him a “little bitch” off the strength and just assume I’m right in doing so. But what he did last night is merely a piece to the puzzle as to why Zlatan makes me as interested as I’ve ever been in the MLS.

For starters, any other aged star that has come over is typically too washed to matter. Wayne Rooney has been a firecracker every now and then for DC but it’s far too infrequently that he’s pantsing his opponents for him to be my biggest draw. Zlatan?

It’s like when it’s a light three game NBA schedule on a Wednesday or something and I can only watch Kings-Suns. You do it because there’s really nothing else. But it’s insulting to Zlatan to compare him to Kings-Suns. Because Kings-Suns can’t give you absurd shit like this
