Love for Ibrahimovic is unshaken by outburst

A foul-mouthed outburst by Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has drawn virtually no criticism in his native Sweden, where churlish comments have only underscored his image as a straight-talking underdog.

The 33-year-old will face the French league's disciplinary commission on April 9 for comments made after PSG's defeat at Bordeaux on March 15, when he labeled France a "shit country" that "does not deserve PSG".

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said he was "shocked", while far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen suggested the Swede could leave France if he was unhappy.
