Ibrahimovic commented on France's 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup round of 16 as a pundit on FOX Sports. The Swedish legend stated that if he had been on the field, the match might have seen four red cards.

Ibrahimovic said: "Today was a different challenge for them (the French team). It was more about how not to be provoked, to stay calm and collected, not to lose balance, and not to fall for the Paraguayans' tricks.

Host: "It's hard to stay calm in those moments, isn't it?"

Ibrahimovic said: "It is indeed difficult. If it were me, I would have gotten four red cards in this game, and I might even have sent someone to... But that's just how it is, I like to play football... I like to play pure games. I don't like it when people try to provoke. But this is both part of the game and not part of the game. But the French team was very calm, they were relaxed, did what they had to do, and even gave their opponents a smile. This is the best way to hit back: smile, score, win the game, and then celebrate with your fans. This is the best way to hit back."
