Sweden don’t have much time to get over their painful defeat to Germany at the World Cup.

Janne Andersson’s side led 1-0 against the reigning world champions until Marco Reus’ equaliser in the second half.

And the game appeared destined to end 1-1 until Toni Kroos scored from a free-kick in the fifth minute of injury time.

The result leaves Group F finely poised heading into the final round of matches, with Mexico on six points and Germany and Sweden tied on three.

Germany should beat South Korea on Wednesday, meaning Sweden will have to defeat Mexico to have a chance of progressing to the group stage.

What Sweden would give to have Zlatan Ibrahimovic for just one more match.

The 36-year-old retired from the national side in 2016 but there were rumours he would return to play at the World Cup.

Ibrahimovic discusses Sweden's tournament

But that hasn’t been the case.

And Ibrahimovic has risked irking the national side by insisting he could play "much better" than Sweden’s players are in Russia.

When asked by ESPN if it had been difficult to watch Swede, the Los Angeles Galaxy striker said: “No.”

He added: “In the beginning, the first games was different because I felt I can do it much better than them, obviously. And still I feel that.

"But there is a time when you say let them do it and let them enjoy because where I came from, I was not welcome.”

While it may be true, Ibrahimovic’s comments are rather obnoxious.

There was just no need to take a pop at the national team.

But arrogance is nothing new when it comes to Ibrahimovic.

The former Manchester United striker teased his presence at Russia with a series of mixed messages.

It wasn’t clear what capacity Ibrahimovic was talking about - many wondered if he was coming back to the national side - but it turns out he is there with his commercial sponsors.

He can always be relied upon to make a comment that attracts attention but it’s hard not to feel that he’s gone too far with this one.
