I'm with you on this. He's a prick for doing this to his wife but an absolute c*nt for doing this go his kids. Sad thing is, not only will his kids suffer but in years to come when he wants to see his kids, and he will, they will ghost him. No kne wins. 😢
One small correction- I’m pretty sure they’ve been together for 19 years not married. That would mean he got married at 13. Doesn’t make it any less fucked up though.
@@askefn They're the same age and from the same town, so they've likely know each other since they were kids and started being a couple at 12/13, and just kept going. The "married" part is Z forgetting to check the Wikipedia article about Emil Forsberg, which tells us the year.
When I went to college for the first time, my parents ghosted me. I went home for Thanksgiving, knocked on the door, and some stranger I'd never met answered the door. I didn't see them for 17 years. Some people don't see family as important. Now these kids are younger, but I think the ghosting mentality is just who some people are.
The national team played a friendly right after the first post by shanga. Apparently kulusevski did a team talk before the match that was all about how the national team is like a family. “We fight for each other, we stand up for each other, we keep the family together!” Can’t even begin to imagine how Forsberg felt during that
@@HereGoesKevin Nothing goes over family mate, including *football* (not soccer). FOOTBALL is just a game and yes, its good to be passionate about the game, its players and the team that represents you, but you would be an absolute dumbass to choose the game over your own family. Even the great ballers like Ronaldo, Messi, Mo Salah, etc make sure to set aside time in their very busy schedule for their kids. Putting a game over your own family is obsessive and overzealous.
As a father myself, I couldn't imagine just abandoning my daughter. She is my whole world. Abandoning your kids is sociopathic, and it deserves to be shamed and punished.

I'm shocked by this. As a swede, Emil Forsberg has been my favourite player in the national team since cirka 2017. Our best player in the 2018 world cup. And also he is (as far as i know) the only national team player from "north" of sweden. Rather the middle geographically. I live in his home town actually (not from there though). I really hope that Shanga and the kids get through this well❤
It's crappy as hell and I feel for her and the kids but at least they will be looked after financially after he gets rinsed in the courts. Trust me, it can be a lot, lot worse and is for a lot of people and for those people, they'll have nothing and nobody will ever even know about it. If not worse.
Hey, Z. I'm loving this type of content. I've always watched your FM videos, but I hadn't seen this channel yet. Hope you talk about Brazilian football soon too, there have been great and crazy stories here, like Marcelo and Thiago Silva reuniting at Fluminense (their former club), Gabigol losing Flamengo's historic number 10 for being caught wearing a Corinthians shirt, the crazy war between John Textor (owner of Botafogo, Lyon and Crystal Palace) and Leila Pereira (president of Palmeiras) after an insane battle between the teams for the title last year or the even worse decline of Vasco after 777 ( owners of Genoa and Liege) decide to sell the club. Keep up the good content!
I don't know why my previous comment was removed, perhaps it was automatically removed due to the link to the article. in short, Emil did respond to this in Swedish newspaper "Aftonbladet". Basically he said that she divorced him, and he is denying ghosting anyone and that this is a matter for the lawyers. Not sure what's up, but just wanted to share since you haven't found anything about his response. P.S. the interview with Emil Forsberg has since publication been moved behind a paywall.
My dad actually did this, so i understand where forsberg is coming from. He is probably in a really bad head space and struggling to deal with the situation he was in. Plus some people dont have that same family connection. Everyone is wired differently. Hope it grts sorted out soon for the benefit of the children 🙏
And Benzema won a Ballon’Dor and we all know what he did. Footballers are just people and have the capacity to be shitty. As football fans we tend to only care if it’s not your favorite player.
dude felt his career ending and decided to end his family too? weirdo. hope the wife finds someone worthier of her and the kids if she chooses to. and my fellow girlies: if he is willing to cheat with you, he will just as easily cheat on you.
I cant fathom people who chose to be with a person that ran away with them or cheated on someone with them. The doubt that they would do the same to me would always be in the back of my mind
@@askefn people aren't smart they don't think of that bcos they feel they are going to be different. They see the person that one left for them as the “problem” the outlier, in their heads they are the treasure “the cheater will obviously not cheat on me I'm special” mentality
Just listened to a swedish FM podcast and Emil was the guest, apperently he had some problems with his 5-3-2 Liepzig gegenpress and I guess he got frustrated because he said he couldn't get good results on away matches. He also said he had played FM since Championship manager and that he had 1000+ hours on every game because he had a lot of alone time. This podcast was released before he moved to MLS.
I suggest you have a look on Giannis Konstantelias, possibly one of Reb bull Salzburg's (which are one the same ownership with New York Red Bulls) most expensive transfer, if it happens (it's on the verge to) and if it's worth the money
good player, he has a chance to evolve into something really unique if he joins Salzburg, has a bit of luck and stays healthy. He seems to have a humble mentality as well
For the lega part with a divorce, It depends. If there's no prenap, then they will add together the matrimonial property and split it in two between them. He will also have to pay child support until the children are 18. Except for that...I do not think there's any legal repercussions.
I was 19 when I found out my gf was pregnant. There’s been many ups and downs the last 4 years but I could never imagine ghosting my gf and my child. This is beyond disgusting. Even if he had an affair and wanted to be with another woman.. what about your kids man.
Zealand has up and moved away from finishing his desk and set up and has spoken about running in days. He's starting a new life as a non marathon runner and RUclipsr with a subpar background.
Forsberg has responded in Swedish media on the 18th of May, but its behind a paywall on Sportbladet. Other than that, he has not said anything outright about the situation. In the article he only states that his former wife lied about him ghosting them.

There’s definitely something fishy here, I can’t see what’s preventing him from saying anything though… it’s weird that he didn’t defend himself when he can talk to the media pretty easily. Makes him look very guilty but maybe the club/his lawyers recommended him to stay quiet.
@@LizudemAm Oh that is exactly what I'm saying. 0% of the marriages I have known from couples that got married at around 18, never mind 13, have ended well.

Thats one persons story in a two person relationship. Emil might not feel that Instagram is the right place to discuss this. As a child of divorce my mothers story dont add up to my dads at all. And from my perspective living through the divorce,both of their stories is really skewed. Also the kids they are to young for Emil to contact without going through his wife, we dont know what she defines as not reaching out enough and or if she decided to ”weaponize” them in this divorce.
