Zlatan strikes again and la Marine Lepen strikes back:

100% sure he was referring to the French league not the country.

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

The outrage about this has been beyond ridiculous.

Couple of months ago it was freedom of speech this, freedom of speech that.

Now a professional football player says something bad about France, in a fit of anger, and it's " he needs to publicly apologize !" " He should leave this country !"

and like Spike said it's pretty obvious that he was talking about the league not the country.

[cosmicway 1,323]

Linguistic slip most probably.

It does n't even connect to speak against the country.

The media making a meal out of something?! NEVER!

I think if Zlatan carries on, UEFA will have to ban PSG from the Champions League, and allow us to go through to the Quarter Finals by default

Fuck off you Scottish twat. Zlatan is a gift to the sport, not only is he is laugh riot but he is awesome to watch. The type of people that get upset by antics are cunts. I always knew you were a cunt, now I have proof.

I hope this is sarcasm because there will always be great footballers kicking about. Ronaldo and Messi are different obviously. He is funny, mainly to laugh at rather than laugh with but going ape shit because of some refereeing performance to the extent where you call the country you play football in a shit country then yeah too far.

I can't believe you are getting this salty over Zlatan's temper tantrum about the French league, not France itself. The fact you don't even comprehend the situation yet you are getting so upset over it, is embarrassing. Stay buttdevastated, Ryan.

I think it was linguistic error.

The fellow speaks English not French and his English are not 100% correct either.

I think he meant "sh*t place" and he said "country".

It's a colloquial expression anyway. A Belgian who is unhappy with certain recent legislation said to me "we have a sh*t country".
So somehow Zlatan made a mistake in his speech.
