Lionel Messi. Wow!

[Robert Upndown]

With the Women's World Cup coming to Vancouver, the Whitecaps and Lionel Messi, my appreciation for soccer has grown exponentially!

And what a goal! :clap2:

He's a miracle of modern science

It is impossible to compare players from different eras BUT Messi is probably the greatest of all time. Disclaimer: I am not Hispanic and do not support any Spanish or South American team.

I saw the highlights on the news last night and he went around what were thought of as good defenders like they were pylons. Magic!

The only player way back who could possibly have been this good was Georgie Best. Yes better than Pele or Maradona but booze destroyed him. Messi is on a planet all by himself.

I received and read this before the last World Cup.
Someone took the job seriously and did the research, conclusion is quite astounding... "Messi is impossible".
