So Messi doesn't use football age? He was not a teenager in that picture. Messi isn't less than 40 years.

Taiye Taiwo in that pic was equivalent to a grandpa with his immediate younger bro{Mikel Obi} and his son{Messi}. While Messi was less than 18years in that pic, Taiye Taiwo shouldn't be less than 30years, that was why he didn't last long at the top level because he was already old before bursting to limelight in that competition.

You no fit keep secret ni?

Yes,Messi won the world cup,but people forget that Mikel obi had a long career at one of the best club in the world.
And for taiwo, football just happened to him,not every player in that Argentine u20 became successful too tho.

You dey mind them? Like it was only those three that played in that tournament. I doubt if they remember that people like Ryan Babel, Ibrahim Affellay, Fernando Lorente, David Silva, and even Cesc Fabregas played in that same tournament.

You are right.

Messi was born on June 24, 1987.

And his beautiful wife below was born in February 26 1988, which makes her 34 years.

Does it mean that we are all unserious hypocrites appropriately represented by our thieving politicians?
So why do we say that leadership alone is our country’s problem

.....and the other 2 were no where to be found.



Which of Messi's colleagues from that squad can still be found?


Aguero has faded thanks to injury, Mikel outperformed Gago and Garay if you consider clubs where they landed and their titles won.

No other player from that squad ever got to Taye Taiwo's level.

I think you people just like to hate on what you cannot become.

Someone said Taiwo was already 30 Abi 36 years old.... Imagine if he could play professionally from when he was 20/21?
