Agumon is a fictional character from the Digimon media franchise. He is the Digimon partner of Marcus Damon and a main character in the Digimon Data Squad anime series. Agumon usually calls Marcus "Boss" because Marcus takes care of and protects Agumon.
Contents |
Agumon is a bipedal yellow Tyrannosaurus rex-like creature with green eyes and stubby legs and tail. He wears red training bracers.
Digimon Data SquadEdit
Agumon adores his partner Marcus, and considers himself to be "Marcus's employee" (follower in the original). He even refers to Marcus as his "Boss" ("Aniki" in original, meaning "brother" literally but meaning "boss" according to the Yakuza, therefore having the same connotations).
In the first episode, he is referred to by the code-name of Raptor-1 by DATS.
This Agumon in particular holds true to the given description of a common Agumon being somewhat aggressive.
Being the main digimon character in the series, Agumon is always the first amongst the partner digimon to reach a new level. Unlike the other partner digimon in Digimon Data Squad, Agumon was easily accepted into Marcus' family when he was discovered, and is even given free reign of the Damon household. Marcus' Inner Strength!
Although Yoshino tells Marcus that Digimon can only eat special Digimon food, Agumon tends to eat practically anything, including Marcus's mother Sarah Damon's fried eggs. Agumon's obsession with eating sometimes results in comical moments when Agumon (or Koromon, in one situation) attempts to eat Marcus's head.
In the final episode, Marcus' DNA gives Agumon a new appearance. An outline of a dragon surrounds him, and he is given fiery bird-like wings and a dragon-like tail. In addition, Marcus can ride him, using straps attached to Agumon's wristbands to control his movements. Whether this is a super charge of Marcus' DNA or a new digivolution stage is unknown. Fans like to refer to him as "Agumon Burst Mode".
Agumon is a playable character in Digimon World Data Squad.
Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through TimeEdit
Agumon appears alongside Marcus on the Old Clock Shop Man's boat. A Great Hunter Gathering! The Digimon Contest of the Southern Island!
- Pepper Breath (Baby Flame): Agumon shoots an orange fireball of varying strength from his mouth.
- Spitfire Blast (Baby Burner): This attack uses a more powerful stream of fire than Pepper Breath.
Other FormsEdit
The name "Agumon" refers only to the Rookie form of this Digimon. Throughout the series, Agumon gains the ability to digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is his preferred one and the one he spends most of his time in.
Koromon's Digi-EggEditFollowing his dark digivolution into ShineGreymon Ruin Mode, Agumon most lost all his energy and reverted into a Digi-Egg. The Norstein Family Secret During the battle agains Belphemon, the egg hatches into Koromon. The Battle With Belphemon!
KoromonEditKoromon is Agumon's In-Training form. The name "Koromon" derives from the Japanese word "Korokoro", meaning "something small, round, and rolling." He is a pink, ball-shaped Digimon with floppy ears, bright-red eyes and sharp teeth. He is approximately a foot tall. During the fight against Belphemon, Koromon's Digi-Egg hatches and he attempts to eat Marcus's head. Although Marcus worries that Koromon doesn't remember him, the baby Digimon reassures Marcus that he does remember, then digivolves to Agumon. The Battle With Belphemon! Attacks
"Agumon Burst Mode"EditAgumon has the ability to achieve Burst Mode as a Rookie, resulting in an unnamed form in which he is surrounded by a fiery aura which forms a draconic tail and wings. Agumon achieves Burst Mode while fighting King Drasil, and uses his newfound power to defeat the tyrant's core body. The Ultimate Farewell When Marcus and Agumon are taken to the Digimon Fusion universe, they use Agumon's Burst Mode against Quartzmon and his VenomMyotismon puppets. A Great Legendary Hero Gathering! The Digimon All-star Showdown!! |
GeoGreymonEditGeoGreymon is Agumon's Champion level form. GeoGreymon is an orange Tyrannosaurus rex with orange eyes, and spikes on his arms, shoulders, and jaw, with blue tips on them. He has blue stripes on his legs, arms, neck, torax, mouth and tail. He wears red training bracers and a brown helmet with three horns and multiple spikes on it. The helmet also has red stripes, and the spikes have red tips. GeoGreymon first appears during Agumon and Marcus's fight against a large Kokatorimon. This is when Marcus activated his DNA for the first time. Marcus was given his Data Link Digivice, and with it, he was able to help Agumon digivolve into GeoGreymon for the first time. After the first battle with Merukimon, GeoGreymon is often replaced by one of his digivolved forms so this form is used less and less in battle. In Digimon World Data Squad, GeoGreymon is one of Agumon's digivolutions. Attacks
RizeGreymonEditRizeGreymon is Agumon's Ultimate form. RizeGreymon is an orange cyborg Tyrannosaurus rex with amber eyes, spikes on his right shoulder and jaw, and orange fur on his head. The tip of his tail is gray, and he has blue stripes on his legs, neck and mouth, and a revolver for a left arm. He wears a red chest plate, a metallic helmet with three horns on it, and also has red mechanic wings with three cannons on each. RizeGreymon first appears during the fight against Garudamon. Marcus's own frustration over the uneasiness of his friends and family caused him to evoke the power GeoGreymon needed to digivolve into RizeGreymon. The Rise of RizeGreymon Attacks
ShineGreymonEditShineGreymon is Agumon's Mega form. ShineGreymon is first seen during the fight against the Bio-Hybrids. Marcus' DNA super-powered RizeGreymon, causing a silhouette of ShineGreymon to appear around RizeGreymon. ShineGreymon was properly introduced in the next episode, along with MirageGaogamon and Rosemon after the Data Squad team learns how to harness this new power. ShineGreymon is crucial in Belphemon's destruction and Akihiro Kurata's downfall. Attacks
ShineGreymon Ruin ModeEditShineGreymon Ruin Mode is said to be the corrupted form of his Burst Mode. The first time ShineGreymon changed modes, it was into Ruin Mode, a corrupted version of the true Burst Mode. This occurred during ShineGreymon's battle with MirageGaogamon when Marcus' dark emotions, fueled by his belief that his friend Thomas turned on them and joined Kurata, caused ShineGreymon to go through Burst Digivolution. ShineGreymon Ruin Mode went out of control until it regressed back to Koromon's Digi-Egg. Attacks
ShineGreymon Burst ModeEditShineGreymon Burst Mode is the burst digivolved form of ShineGreymon. Marcus manages to activate ShineGreymon's true Burst Mode in the battle against Belphemon, this time, ShineGreymon properly transforms into his Burst Mode and easily destroys Belphemon. Marcus activates his D.N.A. again during the DATS team's first encounter with the Royal Knights, allowing ShineGreymon to enter his Burst Mode again. However, this time, he is defeated by Gallantmon. He appeared later on facing the Royal Knight Craniamon in a one on one duel and was losing until the rest of the DATS arrived to jointly defeat the Knight. He last appeared in the final confrontation against King Drasil along with the other DATS Digimon. In the movie Digimon Savers: Ultimate Power! Activate Burst Mode!!, which is non-canon, ShineGreymon Burst Mode is the one who defeats the Mega form of Argomon. ShineGreymon Burst Mode appears in one of the rounds of Digimon World Dawn/Dusk's Legendary Tamer Quest, fighting alongside MirageGaogamon Burst Mode. Attacks

After teasing in my last post, here is the full tutorial on how to improve your WordPress performances.
This idea started last week. As a Solution Architect @Hegerys, I had to provide a new solution for Magento hosting on a unique dedicated server.
But as we all know, if Magento is a very good and competitive eCommerce Software, it is also one of the slower, if not the slowest and heavyest. Getting good performance for this kind of web application on a unique dedicated server just seemed impossible.
Then before delivering, I wanted to test out how I could improve performances on a web software without having to get my hands directly into the code.
I had this wordpress blog (the one you're reading) on a non-optimized WordPress behing a non-optimized apache+mod_php, on a very little VPS (1VCore, 1GBram).
When I started this work, http://blog.brigato.fr was only handling 5 requests/sec. It now handles more than 6000 requests/sec.
By following this tutorial, you should be able to improve a fresh untouched Wordbress performances by a factor 1000, and an optimized (W3 Total Cache, APC Enabled…) WordPress by a factor 400.

Your entrance area is looking great! Isn't it nice to have a grown son help you like that? I use my 18 yr old sometimes too and I'm always so thankful. Love your pink touches and especially your future plans using drapes and adding architectural interest. That's going to look great! Your drawing (which is wonderful) really showed it off well. I still need to work on my front porch. We have to replace our swing (it's 16 yrs old and a piece of wood broke) and need to plant flowers on my porch railing baskets. We're going to be getting some much needed rain around here to wash away all of the pollen on everything. It's terrible. Do you get pollen on everything up there too?

Goodness...like you, I can not believe the things we've been able to do outside during MARCH! Your painting looks great and I love your pink swing! The pops of pink elsewhere outside make your eyes move around the yard...and look so pretty!
I think the black door, curved fascia boards and drapes will really add drama to the area.

Hi Amy,
You are such a doll! I love the pic of you and the doggies.
The under porch look fantastic. I love the bright white and how in the world do you get your son to work so hard!
Love the pink wreath, the pink flowers and your drawing. My guess is you'll have it looking like the drawing in no time at all.

Is Kingsley a new dog? I guess I'll have to catch up on posts. He's adorable! Of course your other dogs are cute too. It's wonderful that Colin likes to help so much. It inspires me to work on my plants, up front. I need a complete paint job that now "sprucing" would help. If I spruced up my porch it would make the rest look worse. sigh!
Thanks for the early Spring Inspiration. Katharine - March 22, 2012 at 8:58 PM

Everything looks so pretty and springy there. The wreath looks just perfect with the swing... and I can't help but wonder what flowers will end up in your window box!

UNION — In the first round of the SCISA Region 2A Class III Regional Tournament, the Richard Winn Lady Eagles made short work of their opponent, Greenwood Christian.
Led by junior point guard Carson Justice with 20 points, the Lady Eagles ran away with the contest by a final of 68-19. Also joining Justice in double figures were Jaycie Johnson with 13 points and Emily Brigman with 10 points. Eight players scored for RWA in the contest.
Unselfish play and hustle as well as tenacious defense allowed the Eagles to improve to 24-1 on the season. No Greenwood Christian players scored in double figures in this contest, one of the final few games the team can use as a tune up before the playoffs get here.

Davitt Moroney, harpsichord
1 pm, Hertz Hall
A Recital of Keyboard Music by Bach, Purcell, Couperin, Byrd, and Marchand.
Dianne Ferlatte, story teller, with musician Eric Pearson
2 pm, Pauley Ballroom
Diane Ferlatte, along with musician Erik Pearson, presents family style storytelling, music and singing in the African American tradition. In Zimbabwe they say if you can talk you can sing, and Diane says come prepared to do both. Steeped in the oral tradition from her childhood years in Louisiana, Diane spent her formative years on her grandparent's porch with family and neighbors swapping stories, lies, and tales. Her experience performing on piano, singing in church choirs, acting in stage productions, and communicating with American Sign Language all contributed to a her career in storytelling. "This is what it's all about—the little moment that lasts forever in ones memory: that time of intimate connection with the listener, even someone you hardly know. When we tell stories, especially personal stories where we open ourselves up to whoever is listening, there is often for the listener a value to be learned, or encouragement to be gained, knowing that others before them have conquered fears and challenges similar to their own. For some, the right story at the right time will enrich their day, and even make the world a little better place. That's why I really love to tell stories."
Gamelan Sekar Jaya
4 pm, Pauley Ballroom

Bamboo Girls: Combining natural feminine beauty with virtuosity, humor, and charm, Bamboo Girls captures the shy but playful folk spirit of Dai village girls from Southern China as they take a day journey up the mountain and dance all night.
Candelas: Set to the solemn music of Gustav Mahler, Candelas offers the candle as a symbol of humility. As the candle burns itself to fuel the fire, its gift reveals an intimate expression of beauty and elegance. One by one, the dancers reveal their souls, rendering Mahler's score with soft steps, tender gestures, passionate arches, and elegant leg extensions.
Silk Cascade: Inspired by the paintings of Jackson Pollock and expanding upon ancient Chinese art, Silk Cascade is an exuberant explosion of color, dance, and light.

Nov 14, 20122OMG. what a joke. Why anyone would play this garbage over other current games like Halo4 or Battlefield is beyond me. This is just another boring rehash with LAME connections to multiplayer and stupid typical campaign. THIS IS 2012......WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DEDICATED SERVERS......SELL OUTS. And i find it amazing how many Users hate the game...but ALL the game sites LOVE IT. sellouts
Nov 13, 20122Same game as any other Call of Duty after COD 4, adds absolutely nothing new. Campaign fells like a boring B-movie. What a huge disappointment and a waste of money.

Nov 24, 20120
Nov 25, 20128The multiplayer is addictive yet annoying. Same old issues with connection, why cod still arent on dedicated servers is beyond me. Single player is awesome, best campaign to date. But where the game truly shines is in it's Zombie mode. So much content! So much content available, you really do get your money's worth.
Dec 1, 20121Worst spawn system ever! I'm not a hater, I like COD but the multi player in blops2 is so unbalanced to the point of being unfair, you constantly respawn near your killer just to be killed again... what used to be perks are now weapon attachments, all considered, the maps are not that great and some decisions are puzzling, COD age is showing, and in the end Infinity ward is the better developer
Nov 15, 201210Love halo kilzone cod borderlands, been playing games 20 years black ops 2 ticks all the boxes,extensive options and modes. great bot mode for checking out all the toys, good fun, is as serious a shooter as YOU want it to be. Highly recommended
Nov 14, 20129
Nov 15, 20123
Nov 15, 201210This is one of the best action game ever, and I thing best action game on current gen. It seams that's another one CoD game game, but it something big, something serious and it HAS a really good storyline.
Nov 15, 20124I don't want to give this game a four, but words cannot describe how depressed it made me feel. I guess the campaign was alright, but it's time for a change, CoD. Especially when it comes to multiplayer, something Halo 4 actually managed to pull off.
Nov 13, 201210
Nov 16, 20127
Nov 13, 201203 words: Same Graphics Engine. Seriously, its been forever and the graphics are run off the same engine as MW4? and they expect people to believe it took 3 years to make this? lmao get real do NOT buy this game.
Nov 13, 20120
Nov 13, 20120I think it is time to go back to the black board and this time really come up with something that innovative, rather than the old same thing every time. I thought they said they made some big changes with this game... Well so far, nothing really amazed me...
Waste of money. -
Nov 13, 20123The game is just last nights dinner reheated and served as left-overs. Graphical changes are very low. Though, one well done aspect of the game is the zombies, which is a large improvement from the last game, but the campaign and multiplayer are dried out and over-used. This may not reflect the opinion of others, but my opinion is that it just seems to repeated.
Nov 13, 201210After having played MOH Warfighter, I thought I
Nov 22, 20127
Nov 13, 20129Campaign is the best in the series, and multiplayer havent been this good since cod4, and zombies is awesome as always. I really enjoyed Black ops 2 for the Xbox, and all of my friends are enjoying it as well.
Nov 13, 20127
Nov 18, 20120Awful glitches and graphics, this is a completely stupid game, catering to the whiny ass brats who buy into competition that takes no skill whatsoever.
Nov 13, 20120Wow!! Tryarch really out did themselves this time!! Hahahahahahaha Nah. It's the same game it's always been. Same. Damn. Game. Different skin! "But wow!! It's set in the future!!" Really?? Because it's boring and the audio is **** up. The multi-player is the same, the campaign is the same, everything is exactly the same! Way to go!! You suck!
Nov 13, 20120The game is extremely weak, repetitive. The campaing is awful, the multiplayer is boring, every year a Call of Duty game is release and every year it's basically the same thing: tedious and awful.
Nov 16, 201210
Nov 13, 20125
Nov 13, 20120Do not know why i wasted my money on this franchise again.
Graphics are still **** gameplay is the same, campaign is still heavily scripted and very linear and the strike force missions are ALRIGHT at best
cannot wait for mw4 -.- -
Nov 13, 20123Disappointment. The critics are raving about this, but I guess Activision has been paying this off because this game is absolute garbage. People will buy it anyways because they are sheep.
Nov 13, 201210This game is like poo on the fart. The guns are boom boom huck jam and the multiprayer priests with guns. Storyline is monster at worst, night terror at best. Solid dream it makes happiness?

Nov 13, 20120Absolute trash. Complete rehash of its predecessor in the most literal sense. Please my fellow gamers I care about your christmas money. Save your time and resources.
Nov 13, 20120More of the same but now with a ridiculous story. The futuristic plot makes no sense at all. Multiplayer feels like Previously Call of Duty Games (MW and BO)I have it on sale now!
Nov 14, 20120
Nov 27, 20120
Nov 14, 201210If you want a to se scores of serious reviewers, and not trolls like these that gives **** rating despite the fact that they haven't even played the game. Watch all the mixed/positive user reviews that is from the score
All the rating below are made by trolls that constantly says that they have played the game but not. -
Nov 14, 20122Ok let me get with this. First campaign was all right but some parts were dull. Multiplayer same, repetitive, unbalanced. Zombies the only good thing there. Audio shooting was horrible. Graphics I really don't care and besides if CoD games had the best Graphics but everything else was crap would you buy it? That's exactly what i think about it.
Nov 14, 20120
Nov 14, 20122
Nov 14, 20121sever not availble for the last two days cant play online at all
weak story and the online play that i have played was a clone of the other games
the yearly update is getting old and every year the get it for the one new thing they add but this is the last time cod. has went the way of tony hawk and gutiar hero -
Nov 14, 20121I wasn't expecting much, but I expected too much. The graphics would have been good, for 3 years ago. The campaign is weak like always and the Multiplayer is nothing new. Even the zombies, the one reason I had faith has been ruined. Tranzit is fun, but that's all there really is. Nobody in there right mind could possibly like this game.
Nov 14, 20123
Nov 15, 20122
Nov 15, 201210Black ops 2 is probably the best cod I have ever played. I dont understand why little kids and rage quitters are talking complete b.s. about this game. You suck so get over it. The story is flat out awesome and that doesn't even include the multiplayer. Online is great and zombies has gone to a new level! All hardcore cod fans need to play this game.

Dec 27, 20120This game is a joke. The online gameplay is just not fun and it is the same thing every year. Call of duty is just going to die out if they keep doing this. But yet people get caught in there scam of buying this game. So people be prepared to get the same game next year. wast of my money. I'm trading this game in for something different.

Dec 10, 20129
Nov 20, 20123Doing the same thing every year and the lemmings still buy it!!! FOR SHAME taking advantage of low IQs. Got this game for free. I would never pay for one of thses games past COD4. Lazy presentation, same graphics as cod4. Halo always improves the graphics from game to game why can't COD??? Playing this on a PC at 1080p and it looks like utter rubish!!!!

Nov 27, 20120Another COD with new maps for multiplayer selling for 60.00. The only Derps that give this game a 10 are the Fanboys that for some reason think this game is so awesome. Newsflash none of been awesome since COD 4 and MW2. Hate to break it to you.
Nov 27, 20129
Dec 2, 20125More of same! Just worse. Bad graphics, forgettable music, cheap grenade kills. And while I loved BO1 this story in BO2 is something only a psycho Marxist could enjoy. Multi player and Zombies are merely Ok. All in all a waste of time.
Dec 2, 20128The single-player has new and intuitive features, like the strike missions and different story paths. The plot however is not as good as the first Black Ops. The attempts at multiplayer balancing are a welcome change, but the multiplayer is still not as good as Modern Warfare 1, 2, or 3.
Dec 5, 20120
Dec 7, 20125
Dec 14, 20128
Dec 19, 20123Droll,soulless,lackluster,unimaginative, All of these words describe Black Ops 2. Call of Duty has once again beaten me into believing they can do something different.
Dec 19, 20127
Dec 29, 20124
Dec 30, 20120Im sure i played this game already but it was called something else. Black ops I, that was it. 0/10 for refusing to do anything original or even upgrade the engine after all these years. COD will surely go the way of guitar hero if they do not improve soon. Market saturation boys, its a horrible thing.

Jan 21, 20137As a game by itself, Black Ops 2 is a pretty good game. However, with all the other repetitive shooters, this isn't anything new. The multiplayer is okay, but the only really redeeming feature is Zombie mode.
Jan 22, 20131
Jan 24, 20133
Feb 4, 20131This game is the same thing as all the other Call of duties, but with different graphics. Maybe if they added new stuff it would get something better than a 4.4 as its score. However despite all that i did like the zombies, but not enough to bring the score up any.

Apr 1, 20136The game may seem okay,not everything seemed as it needed to.I felt like if i was playing Black Ops 1 again.Only 3 missions in the campaign were good while the rest were just terrible just like doing the same thhing again and again,The Multiplayer was exactly the same.
I loved Zombies,though -
Apr 11, 20134
Apr 24, 20137
May 1, 20130I dislike all COD games, they are all basically the same but with just different items. I really hate COD games because of their laggyness, unfair battle processes, and everything else is basically unfair.
May 13, 20130No really, this game is like the same than 5 years old Call of duty, nothing new, still this casual gameplay and the community online is based on 8 years old people.
May 20, 20130Black Ops II is just another copy of CoD 4, both multiplayer and singleplayer. The multiplayer is super boring, you'll get completely outgunned by smg's and shotguns, which are much stronger than any assault rifle.
May 22, 20137
Nov 13, 201210
Nov 14, 20123
Mar 22, 20131This game is, by far, the worst call of duty EVER (and i've been playing this franchise since call of duty 2). the graphics are outdated, the story sucks (as always), the graphics are outdated and the story sucks.
by the way, the graphics are outdated and the story sucks. -
Nov 13, 20120Big suprise here, same game as last year, and the year before, and the year before. It just feels so stale now. Not as disappointing as previous games, but only because I wasn't expecting much.
Nov 17, 20125
Nov 13, 20120
Jan 22, 201380This is not to say it's a bad game, it's just not different enough from previous Call of Duty titles. The story isn't memorable, the maps and weapons aren't any different to what we've previously experienced, the gameplay is near identical to previous games, and when it's not identical it falls flat and fails to impress.
Jan 19, 201380It's fun, and an indication that Treyarch is willing to explore ideas that Infinity Ward has thus far ignored. [Issue#93, p.74]
Jan 7, 201395If the original Black Ops was Treyarch's coming-out party, then Black Ops 2 is the studio's affirmation that their COD expertise was no flash in the pan. If you're one of the 16 people who hasn't played this gem yet, go buy it now. Conversely, if you're among those who bought the game but hasn't ventured into the single-player campaign (yes, it happens), there's a great narrative and divergent gameplay awaiting your experimentation, so check it out.

Does NOT fit to size
By rduguay

Comments about SB-VOW IVORY FABRIC:
I purchased these shoes to wear to my wedding coming up this August. I live in Canada so I shipped them to my dad who lives in Florida and was coming up to visit me on May 16th. He brought the shoes to me and must to my huge disappointment the shoes DO NOT FIT... I wear a size 7 and purchased the size 7.5 just to be safe. The 7.5 does not even fit its like these shoes were made totally wrong. My mom is also a size 7 and they didn't fit her feet either. So disappointed... was planning on wearing these on my wedding day and now I'm stuck with a pair of shoes that don't fit.ive been a loyal betsey johnson customer for many many years.. i have over 50 pieces of her jewellery and can't even count how many dresses but this experience is very very disappointing.

Underachiever or genius? What do you make of the mercurial Zlatan Ibrahimovic? (Getty Images) Wow. WOW. Wow. That word was on repeat in my head as I watched Zlatan Ibrahimovic's spectacular bicycle kick sail past Joe Hart on Wednesday. That goal against England in Stockholm epitomized everything the Swedish striker stands for. It was audacious, outrageous and even a bit cheeky to boot. I won't enter into debate on whether it was the best goal of all time, because I definitely don't think it was, what I will discuss is Zlatan's standing in the game and his legacy. I will admit when I have watched the striker in person, I have often become infuriated with his lack of commitment and work ethic. Sometimes it seems as if he quite simply does not care. He walks around, and stands around, a lot. Detractors also point to his less than spectacular goal-scoring record in the Champions League. He has scored 33 goals in 99 games, a rate of one in three, a lot worse than he has done in league play for his various clubs and for his country. So who is the real Zlatan? Is it the guy who comes up with incredible goals every once in a while but struggles to produce the goods on the big occasions? Or is he simply a misunderstood genius? The truth may be somewhere in the middle but, if forced to fall down on one side of the fence, I would go for the latter. You can criticize him all you want, but his silverware haul has been amazing throughout his career. This guy has won titles in Sweden, Holland, Italy (with three clubs, thought his two Serie A triumphs with Juventus were later revoked) and Spain. And he is well on his way to adding the French league title with Paris Saint-Germain. I say, when it comes to Ibrahimovic, you know you have to take the good with the bad. He is one of those special players you have to make concessions for, much like Diego Maradona, Romario or Hristo Stoichkov. Don't expect him to defend and don't expect him to think of the team ahead of himself, one reason why I don't think he would ever succeed in England. Fans just wouldn't understand him. They would want to see some huffing and puffing, and those words just don't mix with "Ibracadabra". So where does he rank on the list of world's top footballers? It's a tough question, but if you take the best of Zlatan, he is definitely in the top five, maybe even in the top three. His skill on the ball is second to none and he consistently scores goals out of nothing. What do you think? If there is one certainty about Ibrahimovic, it is that his legacy will forever be tainted by his attitude. Long after he retires people will still be talking about how good he really could have been if he tried harder. But then again, that just wouldn't be Zlatan, would it?
