Lionel Messi

I thought his cameo vs PSG was one of the most impressive things I've seen this season. Even more now looking back at the past couple days, the guy is injured. He didn't participate in any warm up, he was near 2 weeks away from actually being 'back' at the time he played. Any other player in that Barcelona team would have not even been close to being considered. 

 

Not just psychologically was it A MASSIVE boost but you can't downplay his involvement in the goal and the changing of tempo. Of course it wasn't an appearance filled with genius after genius but that's because it only took him 5 minutes and that effectively was his job. Take nothing away from both David Villa and Pedro who's roles in the goal is also brilliant but that one small burst with the ball and pass was exactly what Barca had missed for about the last 105 minutes of football vs PSG.

 

The perfect attacking footballer.

“Messi” by Daniel Kliger

 

Oil on canvas. 18x24.

 

“Sport seems to me the best expression of modernism. It is a balance between war and art, competition and beauty. Lionel Messi, as one of our greatest footballers, is also our greatest warrior and our greatest artist. Here Messi finds himself in an impressionist landscape and under the more violent sky of a war painting like Benjamin West’s ‘The Death of General Wolfe.’”

Funny how Spain have waited until a World Cup year to bring these allegations to light ;)

 

Wonder if Di Maria, Ozil and Khedira will be investigated next.

 

Accused of defrauding £3m? He should look down the back of his sofa, he probably has that in loose change.

If only it was that simple, you can't file dodgy returns and then when you get caught offer to pay up. It would be like robbing a bank and then if the police catch you hand the money over and get away with it.

 

It's clearly a strange one as he won't be doing his own accounts. He'll shift the blame to his accountants, who'll no doubt say they were acting upon his instructions (that is if anything is proved to be out of order).

Sounds like how the shit Rocky film started.  Which one was it?  4?  The one with Tommy Gunn, and Rocky loses all his money.  Terrible movie.

 

Premise 1 - Rocky 5 was made in the 80's

Premise 2 - It had 80's power ballads.

Conclusion - It is logically impossible for it to have been terrible.

 

It also had a Rocky street fight!

 

Rocky 6 on the other hand...
