10 - Lionel Messi - v4

[RMU ReBorn]

There are so many factors that come in play to success and what would have happenned if he had been at RM or anywhere will always pe speculation and nothing certain.

There used to be a time when people used to disparage messi's achievement by citing xavi and iniesta as his teammates and also times when people belittle barca because of messi.

Going by your logic messi failed with argentina 4 times with a really strong team on paper. 3 of which happened against chile which isn't anything special. So does that make him not a big factor of our success?

What would happen if something had not hapenned is just ifs and buts...

Having a great manager is vital for any teams sucess Messi never had that in Argentina except Sebella , Still he lead Argentina to three finals . That itself is testimonial to his greatness....

Interesting...

So it's not even his debut 04/05 Messi #30 shirt then. I would really like to know why he chose that specific shirt.

First day he got laid.

Leo and The Ponytail getting together after a while. Seems like it was yesterday when Pinto was playing for us. True legend.

From the outside its surely not. Argentina is easily top 2 or 3 on paper and they lost 4 finals with 3 being to chile who are several levels below them. For a player like messi and the quality of argentina he should have had at least a trophy in his decade at argentina.

We know the true story though but this was my point that you never know what can happen . Claiming that he took argie to the finals is nothing to write home about.

Now don't quote me with stuff about how I am belittling his value because thats not what I am doing and its not the point.

My favourite memories were of him getting red carded and sent off in the clasico without him actually stepping foot into the pitch.

The guy was truly a legend when it came to being passionate about Barca. He lived for the badge.

Neymar: "Messi and I tried to convince Luis Suarez to go blonde but it couldn't be."
"Before Olympics, My friends and I promised that if I win the Gold, I would dye my hair blonde."
"I would do a song with Messi and Luis Suarez. We would be the MSN trio."
"Messi will return when he is fully fit and I will tell you when the time comes."
"Music video? It was just an advert for a sponsor and everyone went for the music. But it was all just a joke."
"Brazilian legend i wish to play alongside? I'd love to play with Ronaldo, Romario & Pele. Though I've played a bit with Ronaldo."
"Beyonce or Rihanna? Beyonce."
"I've danced to 'All the single ladies' song by Beyonce for a commercial."
"Drake or Kanye West? Drake."
"R9 (Ronaldo de Lima) or CR7 (Cristiano Ronaldo)? R9, Ronaldo, Il Fenomeno."

Never forget Pinto's goalie runs.

That led to a 6 page bashing on the neymar thread. Too bad it was all a joke.

I honestly got fooled (and pissed).

Messi-depencia is still there. Very sad.

 

[ThwiX]

At least he will be back for our next game. That will also be the next time I watch football. It's just not fun to watch us play without him.

Messi wouldn't help this mild retardation in our defense and midfield.

Agree.

Shaky defense + brainless midfield = nothing to do in the attack.
