The original photos appear to show Messi merely checking his phone and just sitting in a club, tbh.
 
So how many goals is he going to score this season then? 70? 80? 100?
 
He's regressing, the twat only scored 60 last season compared to his 73 the year before.

I think he'll get 50 the useless sack of shit

While it could be photoshop, all that really proves is that Lionel Messi's face looks the same when viewed from the same angle.
 
I like the term "ballerina de estriptis". Sounds much classier in Spanish.

They're fakes, then. Good - because the little fecker looks perfectly lost and uncomfortable, doesn't he - like a schoolboy who's been dragged along by some older mates.

Even if they aren't, has no one been to a strip club before?

Can't go to Vegas and not drop in at a strip joint - it's just not done. Seems like a storm in a tea cup, to put it mildly. Going to a strip club isn't the same as banging a hooker in a back alley.

He gets away with far more antics than Ronaldo. If Ronaldo's friends/family had been tossed out of a charity match, people would be bitching and moaning pointing the finger at Ronaldo.

He definitely has a murderous glint in his eyes when he smiles. He's probably the sort that is used to getting his way all the time.

There's a psychopathic killer in there, and I'm picturing Elijah Wood in Sin City.

Makes you think, people on here like Olly and Jeston could maybe cause the biggest shitstorms in the media with their photoshopping skills if they put enough effort in.

With great power comes great responsibility (Uncle Ben)
 
Spanish paper "El Confidencial" have published an article about the way Messi treats his teammates. It's not nice. Hilarious though.

http://thefootballreview.com/lionel...llies-teammates-at-barcelona-el-confidencial/

Messi to Christian Tello: ‘What are you doing? You’re new, you’re nobody, so pass me the ball, because you’re here to play for me.”

Messi to Alexis Sanchez: ‘Seeing how bad you are, I don’t know how you cost so much. You don’t score enough, so pass me the ball.’

Could be made up of course.
 
:lol:

I heard today that when he saw Busquets play in training or something, he went up to Guardiola and said 'put him in my team' and since then Busquets has played pretty much every game he's available for. Not sure how true it is though.
 
An update on his tax debts case.

Having had charges brought for tax years 2007-2009 for non payment, Messi and his advisors then realised that he'd also missed paying 10m in taxes since then, which he then sent in together with the standard late payment penalties and interest - oops.

In August he paid 5m more to cover the older tax debts and the interest charges on them. However the fraud case remains to be resolved, with the trial date set for next week. Surprising no one, Messi's dad has now asked the court to absolve his son and pin the responsibility on him. He's admitted setting up the companies designed to hide the cash, to avoid paying the tax, but says his son just plays football.

The Messi family lawyers have asked for a delay in the trial date to deal with these sudden revelations. :smirk:

The chances are that they'll now do a deal for a fine (for Messi) and a non-custodial sentence (for dad) with the tax office.
 
Im not gonna lie, there was always something odd abut him


edit - romario THINKS he has autism. feck romario and his thinking.

Idiots. So easy to hire professionals to do it. Caught lying in the press as well. Lionel should really smack his dad and then himself for letting his dad handle this.
 
Argentina were very sloppy but still won 5-2 in Asunción. Some choice Messi moments from the game:


Flawless control.

Clever 1-2 and through ball for Di María.

First time ball to set up a dangerous counter-attack.

Thanks, Skorenzy. Is there a place to go to get these gifs or did you make these ones?
 
Having never really played the sport at a young age, and the disadvantage of being a yank, how does a player develop such great control and footwork on the ball? Is it just an intangible quality that a player develops naturally over years of practice?

Messi's skill is just amazing as if the ball is glued to his feet. Scholes what also great at maneuvering the ball in tight spaces and whatnot.

What helps Messi a lot with his dribbling skills and control is his height. Having a lower centre of gravity than your average sized footballer allows him to shift his weight quicker and with greater balance than a person who is 1.80m for example. Combining that with how he keeps the ball so close, that could be down to a lot of factors: As a chile growing up I imagine he would have been constantly playing on very small pitches, which would have meant a lot less space to work with than on your average pitch. So from that age he would have learned and developed his close dribbling and control through being under constant pressure, along with the fact that his very short height made it easier to move his legs and feet quicker than the taller kids. I would say a lot of it would be down to having a lot of natural talent too, as all top sportsmen in the world have.

Where'd he grow up? ;)

Agrred. His height and low centre of gravity certainly helps. He's just immense though :drool:
