                             Sweden 1 -  2 Spain
                                 34' Zlatan Ibrahimovic        15' Fernando Torres
                                                                            90' David Villa

Following our players from the Italian Serie A, we are happy with our Sweden and Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for scoring his second goal of the tournament during the match EURO 2008 Sweden 1 - 2 Spain.  Too bad that Ibrahimovic played only in the first half because he could have scored more goals.  The match was 1-1 until the 90th minute!!!

There were no players from the Serie A in Spain, Ibrahimovic is the only player from the Serie A in Sweden. 

Spain striker David Villa delivered the winning goal in the very last minutes to give Spain the victory after an assist from Capdevilla.

Watch the video to see Super Ibrahimovic scoring the equalizer goal in the 34th minute after Spain striker "El Nino Torres" opened the score in the 15th minute.  Ibrah makes a super goal when Striker Larsson misses to get a ball and Ibrah doing his magical "Ibracadabra" controls the bal make a turn and voila' shooting to blast Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas. 




After the first half. Ibrahimovic felt  a pain in his knee and ask himself to be replaced.  TCoach Lagerback replaces Ibra in the 46th minute with Mrkus Rosenberg. 

This is a scary news because Ibra is barely recovering and without him, chances for Sweden to win their last match against Russia are not that high. 

Ibrahimovic  is practically saving Sweden, just like he did with Inter.  Had he stayed during the entire match, the result could have been a victory for Sweden not Spain.  A!!!!

Curiously, Spain who had a brilliant debut struggled in this match.  Sweden Coach Lagerback said that he preferred not to risk Ibrahimvovic to worsen his knee.  Sweden needs Ibrahimovic in the final match against Russia where they need to win to pass to the next round.

Forza Zlatan Ibrahimovic!  Italian Soccer Serie A is cheering for you as the only representative of the Serie A in Sweden.  Forza!

    Nina and Pietro you made me laugh!!!!

    I had to take a break and comment on famous "Zlatan Ibrahimovic." Yes, he is the only representative of the Serie A in Sweden and since there are no Serie A players with Spain. My whole support goes to Ibra. LOL.

    I did not like him at the beginning. I started liking him when he played for Juventus and it made me mad he left after Calciopolis joining Inter. Though, I don't blame him because he was not a "Juve flag" not that attached to Juve like Buffon, Nedved, Trezegol, and our beloved UNDISPUTABLE Juve flag Alessandro Del Piero.

    So, Forza IBRAHIMOVIC ha aha ha... Yes, Mark is having a blast during this EURO 2008 watching us supporting his Inter guy!

        Nina you made me laugh, by now we already know who are the untouchable for Anna. Let me guess: Saint goalkeeper Gigi Buffon, Paolo Maldini, Del Piero, Storari, Totti, Gattuso, Ancelotti, who else Anna?

        I know Suri' untouchable is Totti.

        Forza Ibrah!!!!!

      Of course, I was cheering for our Serie A player ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC. Our blog supports every player from the Serie A wherever they go!

      HIP HIP IBRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

      This time Sweden deserved to win because Spain struggled so much unlike their first match where they were swimming.

      In the first half, Spain defenders could not control Ibra easily. The guy is a genius!!! Too bad he could not play the entire match because they would have won.

      FORZA IBRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

      FORZA SERIE AAAAAAAA
