If Sweden – the country of Abba – was to win, and that Ibrahimovic was going shopping at Ikea – which, one can imagine, would take place at Carson because that's where the Galaxy plays – so he might have been there Smart to also ask that Becks help to bademble these furniture (Ikea does not bademble, you know).
If England – the country of Shakespeare, Churchill, The Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter, David Beckham's right foot, David Beckham's left foot, was to win, it's incredible that Beckham's dinner, one of the richest athletes in the world, is fish and chips. The Wembley Stadium must have incredible fish and chips.
Sweden's Ibrahimovic and Beckham England met for the last time at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. In the last live group game, England and Sweden played tied 2-2.
