    Genuinely have never heard of him, is he actually good enough to play for Sweden at 17 (now 18)?

    What more can a 17-year-old do to get called up?

    Grow and mature as a player (and as a person too it seems). You’re not guaranteed a national selection for being really good for a 17-year-old.

      Not like Sweden is some powerhouse football nation with talent growing out of their ears, especially creative ones

      The fact that the kid is really good at 17 is why he’s pissed that Sweden still hasnt picked him, especially since its dead rubber games with Sweden already being eliminated anyway

      At this point in Ibra’s career (the year he turned 18), he was having his first senior season and scored once in 6 games, in Allsvenskan.

      Roony is currently at 7 in 14 in Superligaen.

      The year Zlatan turned 19, he bagged 12 in 26.

      Current status is very (very) far from a sure indicator of future success, but teenage Roony is already clearly better than teenage Zlatan.

    Gotta up your game, young man, everyone needs to have dirty clothes of the manager, or being engaged to the manager’s daughter

    I do enjoy all the non-swedish people in here calling him cocky and arrogant from one out of context quote, where they havent even been keeping up with the story.

    r/soccer for you

      I think this is mostly a case of his teammates publicly stating that’s its insane that he doesn’t get called up, and swedish media asking him about getting called up everytime it doesn’t happen.

    Kuwait FA should try to get him. Born in the city of Kuwait from Syrian parents, well can play for Syria too.
