Zlatan Ibrahimovic thinks Sweden’s players all deserve to be given a Golden Ball award for their efforts at the World Cup.
Sweden exited Russia 2018 on Saturday after a 2-0 loss to England, who will face Croatia for a place in the final of the tournament.
But Sweden over-achieved against expectations even without the services of Ibrahimovic, who was impressed with Janne Andersson’s side.
“Every player should get a Golden Ball in Sweden,” Ibrahimovic wrote on Twitter.
“What they did will be remembered forever. Thank you for the show.”

Wayne Rooney – set to cross paths with the ex-Sweden international in MLS after joining DC United – was quick to tease his old Manchester United team-mate, though.
“How you feeling today mate @Ibra_official?” ex-England captain Rooney posted on Twitter.
“If you need a chat I’m always here.”
