Ibrahimovic and his big feet

Earlier this month, former Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi (pictured below) got into an argument with Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic live on Italian television. The reason for their disagreement was Sacchi's joking about Ibrahimovic scoring a goal because of his big feet. (For the record, Ibrahimovic wears a US men's size 13.)

The thing is, however, Sacchi may have a point. In both of Milan's last two games, Ibrahimovic scored goals that a player with smaller feet (or shorter legs) might not have.

More from yesterday's Serie A action

Yesterday when I posted the videos of Napoli fans and announcers watching their team play Juventus last year, I did not realize that Napoli was playing Juventus in Turin later that same day. A strange coincidence...and Napoli came from two goals down to beat Juventus 3-2.

In addition, I was able to find a photograph of Borriello's second goal against Parma yesterday. If you look carefully, you will notice that he scored with his left foot. In fact, both of his goals were scored with his left foot-- his far weaker foot, in my opinion.
