    @Steveo

    What is your point with these videos? To demonstrate that footie was more brutal? I'm sure it was even more brutal in the 60s - therefore Garrincha > Diego. And even worse in the 30s. Sindelar > Diego.

    What was it - just the 1 goal win by West Germany away from 2 successive World Cups...?

    And crippled by Italy in the process. Come on

    And when in 20 years some crazy kid does what Messi's done I'll be the bitter old man and I'll explain how "back in my day" football was a contact sport.

    What was it - Higuain not missing a one-v-one you and I would have scored and Messi has as many WCs as Diego?

    What’s that - play EXCLUSIVELY for the best club side ever assembled - a side that was the best already BEFORE he entered...? That team Rikjaard built was epic. You put Ronaldo in front of Xavi and Iniesta mate and I believe Messi is in big trouble.

    Messi has been a phenomenon. No argument but there are some levels he hasnt reached. Might still but doubt it

    Maradona carried them to a world cup

    Messi hasn't scored a knockout goal in 4 world cups..

    Even the fans get pissed off with him

    In fact messi seems very mardy guy club/country from what we've heard in the past.

    Not like the argies havn't had a ton of attacking talent around him either.

    On a tangent - it's going to be funny when, in 20 years time, Messi detractors point at 2005-2010 and say "he just looks good because defenders weren't good yet"
