Happy Birthday Leo

Lionel Messi turns 26 today, a year or two before most players are said to be reaching their prime. Just a few years ago he was a scrawny 17 year old scoring his first WC goal.

Time goes quickly. Don't pass up the chance to watch one of the greatest ever.

It's a good thing he's a footballer and not an accountant....

Which one is he, again?

Gret pic  He's number 10.

It's also the birthday of Juan Román Riquelme, who turns 34 and is winding down his career with Boca. He was the best enganche ( playmaker) of the last generation of players. His is the  # 10 camiseta  I own.
