Zlatan Ibrahimovic's weekend was better than your weekend.
Zlatan bagged a brace in Sweden's Euro 2016 qualifier against Montenegro. That's not unusual in and of itself. Well, for non-Zlatan persons it is. It's pretty standard for Ibra though.
No, the thing that made Zlatan's weekend better than yours or mine is his involvement in what I now consider to be in the running for greatest picture ever taken of anyone. I can't decide which is better, the kid on the right smiling likehis parents sat him down and told him that Santa isn't real then a fat man in a red suit fell down the chimney and called "shenanigans," or the kid on the left clasping his hands together in prayer like Jesus just told him he's a shoo-in for heaven.

Zlatan has a lot of haters, but I bet Zlatan's haters don't inspire this reaction from children on a day-to-day basis. We should all try to be more like Zlatan.
