Ibrahimovic: ‘I’m going to World Cup’

Sweden beat Italy in a play-off to qualify in November but i bra hi mo vic was absent from the campaign as he retired from international football following Euro 2016.

Speaking on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! talk show yesterday, Ibrahimovic said: “I’m going to the World Cup, yes. I just said I’m going to the World Cup. I say more, people will hang me, so I have to be careful what I say now.

“A World Cup without me wouldn’t be a World Cup.”
