Meeen i think Messi 's good,@ his age,and u should try and understand the kind of player Messi is ,he's not a striker ,usualy play from the wings ,very crafty ,to me he's just like the Harry Porter of football.The way he does things @ times is amazing ,most of the other players that have been compared to him here dont realy play like him.so to me ,he's in a class of his own .i hope he'll not have injury problems,be cool heeded,not be like his uncle Maradona and stay off drugs.Messi has not started yet.PUYACA

Anybody saying Messi is over-rated has not been paying attention you need to see Barca's games last season to understand how good that boy is especially towards the end of it

ritchboi:

its AMAZING how media overhypes players.The guy has 6-8 good matches n all of a suden hes d "best player in the world". Hmm, isnt that d same title that some gave to RONALDO last season? people get caried away too easily.

6-8 good matches?

You've obviously not been watching the Spanish
liga.

I wish the author could see Messi now. He'ld surely swallow his words.

Messi is King !!!
He murdered Bayern lastnight.

Dont under estimate what mercyless messi can do,u have not seen the best of him.

Messi is the 'football' that we are watching!

he's consistent even at the Biggest stage ever unlike cr7. . .Messi would win the world best back 2 back 5times (citeris parabus)

the football world does not have extra ordinary players like De lima,Dinho,Pele,JJ Okocha Anymore. . .we ONLY have M E S S I!!!

dont like the player at all.

FBS:

Red Beef

propheyo:

Red Beef

whatever.

FBS na fight? Omo this one pass beef oo, just admit the fact that messi is not overrated, nobody go beat u i swear.

How can someone say Messi is overated?

The boy is a super talent.

Propheyo, no. . .no be fight . I dont give a bloody care if he is overrated or not. I simply do not care.

He scores goals only done by MARADONA, HE DRIBBLES WITH INCREDIBLE PACE, DEFT TOUCHES, NATUrally gifted,at the moment he's the best player in the world.

Even Bayern fans will give him a standing ovation when he visits Munich next week.

FBS:

Propheyo, no. . .no be fight . I dont give a bloody care if he is overrated or not. I simply do not care.

If u simply do not care, so why care to leave a comment that u dnt like the player?

lets remove sentiment,the guy is a talented player

@Poster,
Devout more time to seeing La Liga matches then you will see that the guy is UNDERRATED!.
Messi Is The King Of Soccer!!!
WE RULE THEY RUSE. . .BARCELONA

Messi is a soccer god, Ronaldo is a one-season wonder.

C gogongo is on the downward slope of playin curve. In other words he is past his best

Messi is a good player,when someone is good let praise him ,the boy is good is a complete player both left and right

davidylan:

One season wonder? Nah!

He was third in 2007 for world player of the year

He was second for the European footballer of the year (Balon D'ior)

He is the current world player of the year

That doesnt sound like a one season wonder to me

Lampard and Gerard, even Terry have been voted top 3 best players in the world but we know its not true. If they were playing in the Spanish or Italian leagues no one would know them.

its not the poster's fault, he couldnt have seen this comin

jst like the bendtner haters, who knows bendtner might be an absolute nightmare for opposing teams in 2012

messi is the king but u guys still need to credit ronaldo, what he has done is already in the record books. . . . but i still dislike him nywayz

@poster
Are you high on super glue?
that boy is the best footballer on earth. infact he is a phenomenon

davidylan:

Thats baseless.

I believe its the other way round. There is obvious apathy
against English footie and Ronaldo won the award because
they didnt have a choice.

For you to be recognized in Europe while playing in England,
you have to almost double what others outside England are
doing.

Yes, I think he is a bit overrated. Messi cant score freekicks, he cant take good shots and he is not a good header.

So where do his goals come from,if I may ask?Tap-ins?
Get real.Messi IS the deal.
Don't remember Maradona doing all you listed on a consistent basis.But we all know,sans drugs,he was the best player of his generation.

It is true that Messi is a good player.

Premier League is the best in World.

Robinho used to be very good footballer

Question is, how well can Messi cope in England?
________________

In England, players work more. Champions League, FA Cup, Premierleague, Carling Cup, in these lists players are faced with tasks greater than they've ever encoutered in other countries.

Anderson, Nani & Tevez were giving 80% before they joined Manchester United but it is a different story now.

Will Messi be as effective as he is if he plays in England?

Robinho used to be a very good footballer where? definitely not in Spain cos Real were so eager to offload him.
