Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored many increadible goals over the years.
Last night he scored his professional goal number 500 for LA Galaxy. And what a goal it was.
In match minut 43, with a three-goal undercounter, Zlatan did a magic move and scored his five hundred goals in his career.
After a long run-up by Jonathan dos Santos, the Zlatan got the crowd to go crazy by hitting the ballnintonthe net with his backheel behind his back. Even the opponents Toronto FC’s home audience gave him standing ovations.
Another interesting note from the game yesterday was that Zlatan has scored more professional goals than all the other 21 players on the field – coubted together – had played professional games.
“It’s not the first time I get standing ovations from the away team,” said Zlatan after the match.
With the 500 goal, “Ibra” joins to an illustrious list of football players.
Only 28 players in history are reported to have scored 500 goals or more in club and national team matches.
Only two now active players besides Zlatan have made the 500 goal number, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Amd none lf them scored a goal like Zlatans as number 500.

The last months the number of readers of this blog, ‘CapacityNow’ continues to grow.
There are now more than 16.000 people monthly that are interested in information about Customs, borders, trade, reform & modernization, capacity building, travel, music, sport and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
A new report from the European Research Group (ERG) a Tory Brexiteers group today published a report outlining a solution for the 310 mile border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland after Brexit, including extra customs declarations and declarations of origin as well as sanitary, phytosanitary and product compliance procedures.
Among the proposals put forward in the document to deal with these are:
- Extra customs declarations should be incorporated into existing online system of VAT returns
- Simplified customs procedures for the majority of cross-border trade
- Trusted trader-type schemes for large companies
- Equivalence of UK and EU regulations for agricultural produce
- Declaring the island of Ireland a Common Biosecurity Zone
This is a very similar model that I suggested as Customs technical border proposal in the SmartBorder 2.0 report. This is the report I wrote for the European Parliaments Constitutional Committee.
The model presented on the ERG report is in my opinion a conceptual model – moving formalities away from the border to before and after – that indeed is doable, possible and in line with international standards. From a strictly technical Customs perspective.
However there are no discussions about how to identify transports at the border when needed, naturally due to the very sensitive security situation based on history around the border. This is certainly somethong that should not be underestimated. I believe that the SmartBorder 2.0 solutions can provide an alternative where Trusted Traders and Trusted Commercial Travellers could be using existing infrastructure of the mobile GSM/GPS technolgy and systems for the identification and when needed surveillance.
I am as always, not commenting if this politically possible, right or wrong. That is for others to judge.
Then the ERG report also include e.g stating in the VAT cooperstion naturally has consequences that need decidion based on political will.
