Ibrahimovic challenges Beckham on England, Sweden clash

Sweden's record goal-scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic has challenged the England legend and former team-mate to a wager before Saturday's World Cup quarter-final between the two sides.

"Yo David Beckham," said the former Sweden captain, who is now playing for Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS.

"If England wins I buy you dinner wherever you want in the world, but if Sweden wins you buy me what ever I want from Ikea. OK?"

Having been called out, the Englishman responded with a twist: "If Sweden win, I will personally take you to Ikea and buy you whatever you need for the new mansion in LA.

"But when England win, I want you to come to watch an England game at Wembley, wearing an England shirt and enjoy fish and chips at half time."

The 36-year-old was not included in the Sweden squad for the finals in Russia despite saying in April that he would be picked, adding: "A World Cup without me wouldn't be a World Cup."
