thanks for posting that. reading it got me a bit teary eyed actually. i mean, he knows messi's character-- and yes, argentinians can be real assholes (i know many). the story of his medical treatment is all true-- barcelona cured him when they couldn't find treatment at home. and the translation is not bad. peleandote =fighting / enano isn't really like "dwarf" but more like "shorty" in this context (though literally it means dwarf). pecho frio means more like "cold heart"-- he doesn't put everything on the pitch (sabella's daughter called him that). no se conforman is more like they are never content. 23 argentinian heroes. anyway great read & reread. |

You must spread the Holy Ghost around before giving It to !@#$%! again.

maybe you're projecting. he has a lovely girlfriend. messi's sorrow is not for himself, is not about himself-- it's for the fucked up people of argentina who are in the hands of a left-wing kleptocracy that has reduced their economy to shit and the poor fuckers went to brazil without money in their pockets, slept on the beaches cuz they couldn't afford hotels, had no money for tickets, etc. please understand-- the guy is not american. he's not an individualist. he's the most humble great player you'll see. |

Please understand, its not his sorrow I am criticizing, its his timing. Again, guy is a professional athlete, there is a time and a place to reveal your lack of visible appreciation, when the world just elected you the best player in the World Cup and possibly hundreds of millions of people are watching live on television, suck it up and sulk in the locker room AFTER the game.
Part of being a world-class professional athlete is having that celebrity smile in key moments, you are literally the face of your sport.

i won't argue this any further but i think you're projecting your own bias and issues onto a person you know very little about, and i'll leave it at that.

What argument? We're just sharing our differing opinions about it, if anything it just provides for a balanced perspective. I totally get all the points you made, I just think again the timing of it all was a matter of poor sportsmanship. Whether or not it justifiably fits into a narrative of Argentina being a cocky team is another matter altogether ![]()

yeah messi is unlike most argentinian stereotypes in that he went to barcelona when he was 12 to be raised by the heirs of anarcho-syndicalism so he's not a dick as if he had come of age in say buenos aires (ha ha). actually argentinians outside of buenos aires are more normal-- cordobeses are actually cool. |

One of the reasons Messi struggles to win over the Argentinian masses is they consider him more Spanish than Argentinian.

Kroos had already rejected a new contract at Bayern. Great bit of business for Real though.

Ah? He was a regular starter in the Bundesliga and the CL last season. I get the feeling Pep was very pro-Kroos and wouldn't be surprised if it was the board that wouldn't meet his contract demands rather than him.

Kroos was no way frozen out by Pep. It was his first season so he was always gonna rotate players in and out and play them in different positions. And even with that Kroos only missed a few games in the BL and the CL. That story in the messageboard absolutely baffles me. It was obviously written in the second week of his two week 'exile' but he was back almost immediately after and was pretty much a mainstay all the way through.
The same thing happens here. Rooney's dropped for one game and the press rumours suddenly go wild. |
