Only 24, best player in the world by a mile with or without a world cup.

Wonder if he'll reach 1000

Best player since Maradona. Is he as good as Maradona? I believe not, but I believe Messi is as close as we'll ever get, because Maradona was perfection, and you can't better perfection. Messi is a humble guy whereas Diego was an angry guy. Messi is a refreshing antidote to modern football. If you don't love him there is something wrong with you. He is the biggest superstar in the world, yet there is nothing superstar about him. That is to be admired.

Do I want him to break his leg if Chelsea and Barca progress? Yes I do. Absolutely.

This one's my favourite, if only because it reminds me of a goal I scored myself, sadly not caught on camera.

^ It was one of those rare moments, when he beats the two men on the edge of the box, with one movement, that I jumped up off my seat. You have no idea how he did it, even after watching it a thousand times.

Edit: Damn I wish my goal had been caught on camera ..

Thats harsh, i wish that for Buskecc though. A lil cold for Messi would do :p

Not one against Chelsea... best in the world ?? clearly Ashley Cole is better than him

Its an amazing record for him to have. He has been on fire the second half of this season.
