Zidane was exactly the same way, yet he was a good leader. Maybe not as good as Puyol, but still good.

If he does any of that the manager will most likely force him to be on the bench or, best case scenario for him, play with Barca B. That will not help him prepare for the WC at all. He will be ridiculous out of form coming to the WC.

Great explanation on Messi's performances for club vs NT, but it's in Spanish..

Basically, what he is saying is that "Maradona had what Messi did not, and that is luck. How would they treat Maradona if Burruchaga would have missed that goal? Would they be calling him a failure who never won anything with the NT? And how would they treat Messi if Palacio would have scored...

Is this true, or is this just another of those times where social media makes up a story to big up a player like it happens all the time with C.Ronaldo?

It's not like Maradona always played great. He was criticized for his form in the NT until the WC 86. Before that, Maradona got the same criticism that Messi is getting. The biggesst difference though, is that Maradona had teammates who could take their chances. For example, look at the WC final...

Ah, so that's why Messi dropped deep to try and get the ball. Gotcha ;) No one is denying that Messi wasn't running that much. But he does the same at Barca. The difference is that Messi get's the ball ALL the time, which is not something that his teammate did. No, instead they tried to play...

I also remember one from Pastore. It was a counter-attack and he was still on his own half. Yo his right was Messi with alot of space, but instead of passing the ball to Messi, he tried to dribble. And I believe he ended up losing the ball.

You really can't blame Messi for touching the ball so little, considering that whenever he asked for the ball his teammate kept on ignoring him. I lost count of how many times Messi dropped deep to his own half to ask for the ball, and even though he was unmarked and the player on the ball...

Actually, Pique isn't infavour of Catalunya's independence. I mean, while he hasn't said it out loud, he has implied it when he said that separating Catalunya and Spain would hurt both of them.

How dare you? C.Ronaldo is the mostest perfectest person to have ever lived! Just look at how much fake money he donated Nepal!!

Because C.Ronaldo is compared to Messi. If he wouldn't be compared to Messi, then no one would bring it up. But now because he is, he is judge by a different standard, i.e Messi's standard and with Messi's standard, scoring one or two goals and then doing nothing else is not enough..

Thats an entirely different Pedro. If it would be the same Pedro, then for starters we wouldn't even be talking about selling him. And if we are rating how good a player is for how well he played years ago, then maybe we should re-signed Maradona and Ronaldinho? I mean, its Maradona and...

You said that it was official though..

Doesn't say anything about not playing the first game. It just said that Messi had a discomfort on his right foot from El Clasico, that they took some test on him and that they didn't find any injuries on Messi..

I have noticed that ratings like Whoscored tend to favour offensive play, hence it's easier for offensive player to get MoTM..

Yeah, I don't understand why people say that Neymar has it easier because of Mou's negative approach. I mean, sure Hazard will have less ball possession in big games, but he will also have ALLOOOOOT more space when on the ball. On the other hand, Neymar has to face a wall in every game..

Don't know if true, but according to twitter, Cholo just said that "Messi >> C.Ronaldo + Bale + Benzema".. :lol:

Neymar was missing sitters after sitters last season aswell, and look at him this season..

Oh, you don't remember those game. Thats alright, because if you would have remember those games, you would know that apart from those 2 error for Drogba's goal and the penalty miss, Messi was our best and most threatening player, and its not like the rest of the players were bad either, as most...
