And it's quite genious of Benfica too - would not all the Barca players be offside when Messi passed?

Thought it was his right leg that was hurt. Explains why he's not injured for long. Was only a slight brush. I reckon he'd be back to 100% in a week if he gets a rest next match.
They were, in fact the play ended with an offside when Messi made a pass in their direction.
Yeah exactly.. That's why I thought he would be sidelined for a long time too. I thought initially he was injured at the moment he struck the ball, which would have meant most likely a ligament injury..
To be honest I don't think they were thinking about the offside trap at that moment.
It's a bit amateurish of Barca players not to react to them moving up.
One or two players offside can always happen but 4 or 5 players being offside is just lazy.
So any official reports confirming his injury & recovery time?
should have gone down!
Scratch that, just read he'll miss a week, at most.
He says that it's not that bad and he might not be fit for this weekends game, but he should be fit after. So he should still get the record.
Thanks dude
Here is the link that confirms this:

according to "sport.es", Messi wants to play this sunday against Betis
when asked about the injury and why, even though he was injured he kicked the ball, he said "i felt the pain, so i thought that it was going to be the last ball i would kick in a long while, so i tried to score"
brilliant!

Nice quote.
Here is a quote from sport.es Barça:
Every time he scores a goal from now on, his market value will continue to go up.

I love that this happens almost every game, whether it's a Segunda Division side, or a star studded CL side. Unbelievable

Seeing that still photo, you cannot help but think that Messi really has got the respect he deserves. He must be the only player today who can have entire first XI tracking back trying to stop him from dribbling. Now that is what I call respect. Normally, it is an image of the whole of Sunderland against us, when we throw everything to the wind to try and score that all important goal. Here, this is 11 men against 1 genius.
My twitter timeline when Messi got injured was nauseating.
why?
I wish I could post a screenshot, but it was just wave after wave of "Messi injured, oh noes, the record, I love him, this is an injustice, Muller has a voodoo doll, etc..."
This picture should read: Guess which one is Messi??
My twitter timeline was much better: "Go to hell Messi! F*ck off Messi!! YESSSSSS!!! I hope he never recovers! Break that Muller record now ha! He broke his own leg instead hahaha!".
Fantastic.
i wonder if those guys watch the olimpics hoping no one breaks a record
I got those too. Sad fecks
Oh my.. I totally made that up to be fair, as I don't even have a twitter account.. I didn't even think that such sad f*cks exist!
However, on the other hand, if you did get ones like these, don't you think that those are really the far more nauseating ones that you should have quoted in your original post?
They stopped watching the Olympics when Messi won a gold medal.
It really was.
I like Messi and hope to feck that he breaks every record but people were acting as if he has died.
No, they are acting like people who almost witnessed a player they like/love achieve something historical before their eyes, only to fail to do so because of an injury at the very last moment..
Also, I'm pretty sure every one of them sent only one message, so the problem could just be that you have too many of them on your twitter account.
So, is he fit or not?
Err, I know what was written on my timeline and it was hysterical. Stop making assumptions of things you don't know about.
Aye, he's well lush.
Thank God and Baby Jesus.
usually find these ads really crap but that was very funny
great ad. Btw, "meshi"?

I didn't make any assumptions..
Well in Daniel.
I was wondering if you're worth replying to, so I checked your posts in this thread, and I found a lot of brilliant posts.. On the top of the pack is this:
Nevermind.
