I am, which is why i didn't comment on anything else 
In all cases, i think the term choker is used way too loosely by football fans, i don't hear it being used on Ronaldo anymore(they used to say it about him while he was at United) but you hear that world class players like Zlatan are labeled chokers, and i can't help but think, i hope my team gets a couple of chokers like him.

There are different levels of choking. Some players choke more than others. Some may choke all the time, some only sometimes and some never. But if you destroy the little teams all the time a la Zlatan and are usually nowhere to be seen on the big stage, you're choking, imo. Sure, the defending of the bigger teams on the bigger stage may mean it's harder to shine, but when everyone else on your team is stepping it up and you're flicking and laying off the ball and shying away from responsibility, apart from the goals against the big teams you scored that you can count on one hand, you're choking.
Choking is not an urban myth, it happens.

Inzaghi 'struggled to accept' injury
Pippo Inzaghi concedes his knee injury was devastating at the age of 37, but he has faith. “I struggled to accept it, but I will celebrate again.”
The Milan hitman is out for six months after damaging knee ligaments against Palermo on November 10.
He will go under the knife in Barcelona with specialist Professor Ramon Cugat over the next few days.
“I will face this challenge the way I always took on my injuries. I struggled to accept it at first, because I was going through such a good period of form, especially after the brace against Real Madrid,” he told Milan Channel.
“At the age of 37 it is a tough blow, but I want to return and I will celebrate again. I thank everyone for their affection and I wanted to personally read all the messages of support from the fans.
“I told my teammates that I want to come back for the final game and celebrate something important. Their support really moved me.
“I will really miss the atmosphere of the squad, as I see such a positive attitude. My teammates are strong and we are so eager to conquer an important trophy.”
