Ibrahimovic: Let's see what Beckham has to say after Sweden beat England!

The enigmatic frontman is looking forward to a World Cup quarter-final clash which could see his nation overcome the Three Lions

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is backing Sweden to overcome England in the World Cup quarter-finals, allowing him to indulge in some gentle trolling of former LA Galaxy star David Beckham.

The Three Lions overcame Colombia in a thrilling second round penalty shootout to set up a last eight encounter with Scandinavian foes.

Ibrahimovic will play no part in that contest, with the decision taken not to bring him out of international retirement this summer, but Sweden’s all-time leading goalscorer will be an interested observer on Saturday.
