If Zlatan leaves the Striker position, who do you think will take over? That's right, nobody. Sweden had a complete rubbish team and especially a rubbish defense. Youtube the 3 goals made by Ronaldo and see how pathetic the Swedish defense was. The Portuguese passes completely demolished the terrible Swedish defense whereas Zlatan was constantly faced with double or triple man-marking. Even so every single chance Sweden got was created by Zlatan and he even managed to score twice against all odds.

Please. Ronaldo is a fantastic player, pretty much the most effective in the world at this time. But he simply did what he HAD to do, score out of 3 one-on-one situations created by great passing and terrible Swedish defenders.
He did score non two occasions but in the 1st leg he was never able to get over the ddouble man marking. And I agree Sweden had a rubbish defence. But why has the discussion gone to the match??? Wwe were taking about Zlatan as a person.
One last thing.As u said Sweden is a rubbish team with only Ibra then what fun wud have been there in watching a one man army take on teams like Spain and Germany????? They were not able to overcome Portugal then it wud have been a total misfit for them to play against teams like Spain as u said it were the "Potugal's passes that destroyed Sweden and when it comes to perfect passing, Spain wud have crushed them. And so wud have any team with a strong attack like Argentina.
