Morons on RAWK ****ging off Messi.

Obviously, Messi can't be any good because he's never won a World Cup - yet the vermin refuse to apply their own rule of thumb to the plastic gangsters they worship.

Apologies for quoting this in full, but it deserves to be read by people who dont want to read RAWK:

Doubt it. Much as I doubt the Kop would have loved Owen more than Fowler even if Owen had brought home number 19.

Diego is adored, worshiped even. By Argentines yes, but also by football fans from all over the world. Look at a Serb in Kusterica, famous filmmaker, hugely successful. Still, he was so infatuated with Diego he went and did a documentary about him.

Im Lebanese, grew up in the UK, now living in Beirut. I have no ties to Argentina. But I worship Diego, absolutely adore him. He's the one football man I'd most like to meet before I die, whereas if I met Messi, I probably wouldn't blink. And if I met him and Mascherano at the same time, Id be like that guy in the famous picture and ask Messi to take a pic of me and Masch.

Messi is bland, bland, bland. And fake. He acts like he couldn't give a **** about the Ballon D'or, about records. People take the piss out of Ronaldo for being a bad loser, for wanting individual honors. But you know what? At least Ronaldo is honest about that. He doesnt hide the fact he's dying to be seen as the best in the world. Messi walks around acting like he doesnt care about all of that, when all the reports and books show the contrary.

Bland and fake. Just like Michael Owen was. Completely manufactured by PR agencies and agents, much as all other sportsmen are in every sport nowadays. Hard to feel much love for someone like that. He inspires nothing in me at all.

And that's why I doubt he'll ever be loved like Diego was. Doesnt matter if he wins the World Cup or not. That may elevate him in most people's eyes as the best ever, but it won't make people fall in love with him. There will be no Church of Messi or endless documentaries and folk songs about him. He's a boring, uncharasmatic individual who is immensely talented. World cup medals wont change that.

There's no passion, no burning fire, no rebel attitude, no warrior spirit, no presence, no leadership, no enigma in Messi. If he wasn't amazingly talented, he'd be a virgin midget in Rosario. If Diego didnt have the football talent he did, he's probably have been the leader of a cult.

And before anyone else wades in, this is simply a conversation about people loving Diego. I've made comments on both players' respective football talents elsewhere in this thread.

"if I met Messi, I probably wouldn't blink"

Really? Honestly?

Those plastic gobsh1tes should go to Packers.com and see Donald Driver's retirement "party".

14 years at Green Bay and he insisted on saying a proper goodbye. If you don't have a tear in your eye at the total sincerity of a sportsman showing gratitude for everything he'd earned then you are a hard man.

Then to top it all off his last act before leaving was to surprise a 78 year old female fan by dropping by to give her a hug.

This was a man who played his sport with a smile.
 
The very occasional voice of reason on RAWK is quickly swept aside by the overwhelming numbers of moronic knuckle dragging gimps.
