Are you also sick of the Messi worship?

[genome]

Another rubbish goal from an overrated player.

[Silver Fox]

This thread just gets stupider every time Messi plays

[soggy biscuit]

Just the 2 goals so far and I think 23rd goal in his last 22 international matches. What a massive shitcunt.

[Hendo]

He's a worse human being than Suarez.

[Ouroboros]

Christ, now we have to be subjected to another avalanche of bullshit about how good Messi is.

I hate the fucking world.

Surely it is only bullshit if he is not very good like Rooney.
Good to see these star players performing on the biggest stage and Messi is the biggest star of all.

He's by no means overrated, and we really should just sit back and appreciate his talents whilst we can.

What does grate on me a little is the media getting carried away with something he does just because it's him. He started the tournament poorly, but scored, and is getting better but from a lot of the comment you'd have thought he'd torn every opposition apart constantly for 90 minutes, on his own, the way they've gone a bit overboard on the praise.

Messi > Ronaldo.

Yeah, you're probably right there. Musa scored a cracking brace in that game too and it gets barely even a mention from the pundits.

Yawn

[Pepe the Horseman]

Scored again last night, under immense pressure.

Agreed, he does seem to get extraordinary praise for doing ordinary things. However, you may not believe he's the best player in the world but he's unquestionably in the Top 2.

It's quite funny listening to Chinese commentaries. The ONLY name you will hear is Messi, Messi, Messi (Mind you; it's also true to say that other names, like Campagnaro, Higuaín, di Maria, Mascherano, Demichelis and Zabaleta, are about 6 syllables long and by the time the poor sod has got it out the ball is 50 meters upfield.



FFS!!! Spell all the Argie names right and mix up here/hear!!

Can't believe Messi won player of the tournament
