*laughing* Guaranteed this is the exact experience everyone will have with that guy. But Zlatan, an egomaniacal guy spouting his delusional world views as facts...is pretty on-brand for Fox. Ten years ago this would be funny/entertaining...now, not so much.here you go
Aside: This is for the women & gays lurking, that coat that Zava is wearing in this scene is the entire character, kudos costume department.

Update:
Iran refuses to play in the US(good for them), FIFA says no to moving their games to Mexico.

Great post, wish this whole thread could be of this vein but simpler times, eh? France is playing Brazil at Boston in a friendly...interesting. No Neymar, right? He's having his hair...did-atomic blond? Should be good regardless. Too bad March is mad at basketball, the Dodgers are passing out rings and the Kings are the neglected child packing its bag for their eventual escape from toxic parents. It's a sh*tty time to be a sh*tty team, poor Anze.
On the flip side of that coin: If you like watching sports, today is iiiiight.
