It's a non praise really. I'm not going to praise a player for not going down most of the times. That's just sad. What he get's for doing that is not being criticizes when he does dive because most of the times he doesn't.

KM · 27th February 2012, 16:56

The Messi-ism is actually pathetic. Why is Scholes handball actually relevant here?
Yes Scholes tackles badly and yes Scholes handballed that against Zenit, does that somehow make Messi's handball right?

Marcos likes to have a dig a Cal for his Ronaldo fanboism, but he himself is not less pathetic than him for Messi.

Again amusing to see "you know who" being in the discussion. How's he relevant here?

People who blame others for derailing the thread are themselves to blame for derailing.

If Cal would've raised Messi in the Ronaldo thread, it would've been ridiculed and rightly so but somehow indulging in Messi fanboism is less pathetic than Ronaldo fanboism.

Oh and before anybody says "OMG Look another Ronaldo fanboi", look and search my post history and see how I rate the two.

Snow · 27th February 2012, 17:00

It's not relevant at all. But at least Marcos is queer and Argentinian so he has more "right" to be talking about Messi as such. I'll probably be similar in a few years when Iceland manage to finish 3rd in a qualification group.

My point is there's no double standards at all. Scholes and Messi both did that out of character but it was still wrong anyway. No need to justify it by bringing irrelevant comparisons.

And the first line of your post is exceedingly creepy.

Well it is, and it was when Giggs did as well, and when Beckham did it against Blackburn.

ok, if you think they are all sneaky, i can live with that, what i can¡t is when some people cheer giggs but point at messi

imo both goals are perfectly legit and it's the oponents fault to let it happen

Danny1982 · 27th February 2012, 20:04

I wonder why the Messi-haters want to avoid comparisons...

At least comparing him to other players makes much more sense and put things in perspective better than comparing him to the virtual perfect player/prophet.

Snow · 27th February 2012, 22:59

Wasn't there only like one person who thought something wrong with that goal?

RedLars · 27th February 2012, 23:06

Wait, what was wrong with yesterday's goal? Everyone who's ever played football knows that with a free kick around the box you immediately put a few guys just a couple of yards away from the ball so that the opponents will tell the ref to move it, thus being forced to wait for the whistle.

Everyone who's ever been on a team that's conceded a goal like that, anyways

Regardless, nothing wrong with the goal at all!

Suedesi · 28th February 2012, 00:10

That goal was genius

It's more the people who use certain examples as a stick to beat a player with or belittle. It's been done to death about the Messi handball goal. Less so with Scholes. More so with Henry...

It's blatantly double standards, it's who is done wrong by the goal. Since a lot of posters are Irish it makes sense for Henry to be castigated. Since a lot of posters are United fans it makes sense for Scholes to not be treated as such.

But in Messis case i don't see a lot of getafe fans. And taking into consideration all the above evidence i think you can quite clearly see that double standards are at play. It's the nature of football, the unbiased impartial individual is a rarity in this sport.

Amar__ · 28th February 2012, 00:45

His goal recalled me. Anyone noticed how many times Nani stood on the ball when our opponents had similar situation from free kick, like that one Messi scored? And how many boo's he got from opposition crowd for doing it.

Lynk · 29th February 2012, 13:29

Lionel Messi has tonight scored his first ever hat-trick with the Argentinian national team.

Ish84045 · 29th February 2012, 21:35

And in the process, he improved his penalty record

FranklyVulgar · 1st March 2012, 18:39

and here it is.

Escobar · 1st March 2012, 18:43

He did fuck all the whole goal, lazy, no off the ball movement. He gave the ball away ad didnt create much. Well, he scOred 3 goals but 2 of them were gifts.

Well, he score many of them, but I think the word you should be using here is "game".

Anyway, back to your point.. Yeah, what's the point of the goals? He should be creating chances for his teammates. Goals are not important, like in the World Cup, he was the center of every attack for Argentina but he didn't score.. Did anybody complain??

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · 1st March 2012, 19:00

I was happy with his performance. He played like a proper poacher.

Pocho · 1st March 2012, 20:06

Messi is God. End of story.

I meant game - in which he was not really up to doing much

Sewelly The Geordie · 1st March 2012, 21:51

He actually put in better performances than that at the WC.

fadas · 7th March 2012, 21:01

Having another shocker tonight.

sincher · 7th March 2012, 21:05

I think he's the best I've seen. Better than Maradona. Quite a bit better if you consider his attitude to the game, unselfishness, all-round productivity and stuff like that on top of the raw talent.

Solius · 7th March 2012, 21:07

JayWalker · 7th March 2012, 21:09

Yep, I don't think anyone can dispute the claim that he is the best. Without him, Barcelona would be half as threatening as they are right now.

Amar__ · 7th March 2012, 21:10

Berba scored five in one game.

adexkola · 7th March 2012, 21:11

I haven't seen many players due to my age. He's certainly the best I've seen since 2003, when I started following football. Except for Ronaldinho

His goal tally, medals and personal honours collection is going to be insane by the time he's 30.

Had to switch the telly off. Can't be arsed watching Barcelona any more.
