Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a global name, and on Friday the soccer world was talking about him. This time, it was in the context of his signing with the LA Galaxy.
There were many reactions to the way he announced his arrival in the Los Angeles Times, primarily that it very much fit with his persona:
Of course, he didn't shy away from that larger-than-life attitude either, announcing on his Twitter account, "Los Angeles, welcome to Zlatan."
Others gamely jumped in on these inception jokes.
Former US national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann was enthusiastic about the signing.
Of course, the Galaxy's big rival, the San Jose Earthquakes, had their own reactions to the news. Florian Jungwirth put his photoshop skills to the test in putting a new twist on Ibrahimovic's graphic where he's either shaking hands or arm-wrestling a devil.
And Chris Wondolowski was pretty succinct in his wishes for the season ahead for Ibrahimovic.
