Njunge....the world cup starts in June, even Messi himself believes that a good performance at the world cup is wat will lift him to the level of the super great!!!

....remember in my first response I admitted that Messi is probably the best I will ever see in my lifetime.....but the worshipping just because he led barca into wallopping an obviously weak and mediocre arse n hole side is not warranted!!!!!!

@bkismat...thank you! thank you! thank you!! Barca outshone the ManU-gus bila even a goal ya kupanguza machozi and McReggae wants to continue yapping.....

Nostopping...no need to get overly emotional, just coz Barca beat us 2 nil (in a final!) and you guys managed 6-3 ( in a 2 legged Quarters!)doesn't mean jackshit or change the final outcome...both teams were outplayed by a better side but in the EPL, we remain head and shoulders over arses...the records speak for themselves...

@TAZ,
Wenger is in agreement with all except Mcreggae:

"Once he's on the run, Messi is unstoppable. He's the only player who can change direction at such a pace."

Ossie Ardilles:
"Messi is out of this planet, I would say he is so far ahead of the rest of the players playing right now and I would say historically as well. There are not words to describe him,"

A player achieves greatness status if he is able to propell not only his club but his country in the World Cup... as much as the boy is very outstanding..the real show is in S.A.

If you guys ever watched Pele and his famous rounding several swedish defenders, Maradona with the stumbling run from mid pitch to goal, Bebeto pushing Italy to the finals in Atlanta only to miss a crucial penalty...

The Icing is always in the duty to country..

otherwise Messi Shall be remembered with the likes of Ronaldihno, Ronaldo(portugal), Figo etc.. and that list is endless...
