I think Magigi is talking about strength,not size. Ronaldinho is at his optimal size and is a strong bugger to bring down. just try and watch him run with the ball.
Messi may be small and he will not use his strength to win the ball,but he sure will apply gas (speed) and guile to elude defenders at will,that takes some amount of strength and stamina.
I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.
