Zlat: World Cup 'nothing' without me

Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes the World Cup will be "nothing" without him in it.

Sweden's hopes of qualifying for Brazil next year were dashed by a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick last night for Portugal.

After the game, Ibrahimovic said it would probably be his last chance to qualify for the World Cup and insisted it was "not worth while to wait for the World Cup" without him in it.

"It was probably the last attempt to reach the World Cup with the national team for me," he said.

"One thing is for sure, a World Cup without me is nothing to watch so it is not worthwhile to wait for the World Cup."
