Messi is god

(small g, but that might change)

He scored 5 for Barça today against Bayern Leverkusen.

You need to watch it to see how easy scoring is.

Replays will probably go on all week, including tonight at 10 on FSN.

It does look easy. Hang out unmarked, break behind the defense, and chip it over the goalie. Link Did the defenders ever touch him?

Beating those offsides traps so perfectly sure made it look like they were ignoring him. Getting fed by Xavi and Iniesta didn't hurt.


But he did similar things with his hat trick for Argentina against Switzeland last week with Aguero feeding him.


Wayne Rooney tweeted today

"for me, the best ever"

There was recently a YouTube clip of Justin Tuck of the Superbowl champion Giants bowing down to Messi. I loved it. You've got to respect the futbol athletes...and the great skill involved.

Looks like Barca might have a new keeper prospect...

Messi is now the career leading scorer for Barcelona. Not yet 25 years old. LINK I note a familiar pattern to his goals.
