Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi: Hype to join the squad, brah.
Let’s list off the obvious reasons for making such a great pick. He has sick flow, he likes keeping it gnarly, he’s fast as shit (in this instance, shit is very fast), he gives great hope to short dudes everywhere (he’s 5′6” – if he’s lucky) and he’s the best player on the best club soccer team in the world. He also starts for the Argentina national team when it comes to international play, and is considered the next Diego Maradona. (Note to non-soccer fans: That’s not an insult. In fact, it’s a ridiculously high compliment.) His nickname is The Flea, and he is better than you at life.
His goals are absolutely ridiculous. I don’t know if these are the best examples, but here’s a compilation video. This goal, against Getafe, might be one of the sickest runs I’ve ever seen.
His girlfriend is quite attractive (no shit, right?) and she’s older (22 to Messi’s 21). She’s from his native Argentina, and if he can lock down a girl like this from half a world away, you know he’s doing work.
His club team just locked down a most impressive treble (Copa del Rey, La Liga and the Champions League) and he’s almost certainly a lock to win World Player of the Year. With this fast little dude patrolling the outfield with The Temptations and whoever I choose to play in left, there is no way I get scored on. You know, or I wouldn’t get scored on if there were any rules to this game.
Lionel Messi
I suppose most of you have watched Chelsea’s defeat against Barcelona yesterday. And you might have noticed this small 18-years old Argentinian playing on the right of Barcelona’s attack. What’s his name? Messiah? Messia? Messi? Yep! Let me introduce to the world Lionel Messi shown above with Diego Maradona. Mark my world, Lionel Messi will become the world’s best football player very quickly! Bienvenue Lionel.
(From Wikipedia: Lionel Messi was born in Rosario city on 24 June 1987. At the age of five, he started playing football for Grandoli, a club coached by his father. In 1995, Messi switched to Newell’s Old Boys. At the age of 11, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency. River Plate showed interest in Messi’s progress, but did not have enough money to pay for the treatment of the illness that cost over £500 a month. Carles Rexach, the sporting director of FC Barcelona, was made aware of Messi’s talent, and Barcelona signed him after watching him play, offering to pay for the medical bills if he was willing to move to start a new life in Spain. His family moved with the young player to Europe and he started in the club’s youth teams. The rest is history.)
