WOMEN'S WORLD CUP

Musovic laughs off Zlatan questions

Sweden goalie Zecira Musovic won Player of the Match when she and her team beat favorites USA, but some reporters just keep asking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

After Sweden beat the USWNT to advance to the quarterfinal, reporters were keen to talk to the Player of the Match - goalkeeper Zecira Musovic, who kept the game at 0-0 until they finally won the penalty shootout. One reporter, however, took that time to ask Musovic if she knew (the very famous) Swedish player Zlatan Ibrahimovic. She appeared taken aback by the question and simply said that everyone in Sweden knows him.

A few days later, a different reporter asked a “follow-up question”: Does Zlatan know you? That got a laugh from Musovic, who just said, “ask him”.
