After being touted as the 'New Maradona', scoring a goal to compare to the mazey 1986 World Cup goal by Diego himself (see here), young Lionel Messi has gone one step further in his quest to emulate the great Argentinian.
Last night, in the crucial La Liga match against Espanyol, he scored this goal...
Now if Messi can put on 10 stone in weight whilst becoming a drug addict, then he will have achieved his aim somewhat quicker than expected, in our opinion.
Nothing like the great Diego.
ReplyDeleteHid head was level with his hands when he knocked it in. Diego would never have been that subtle.
I saw this very cute movie at the Tribecca film festival this year. It's about this dirt poor argentine who finds a gaint tree root that he is convinced looks just like his idol Maradonna and when the real Maradonna gets sick, he resolves to present the root to him personally. Commence road trip antics.
ReplyDeleteOh here's the official site where you can see the tree root.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like my kinda film, haveyouseenlucky!
ReplyDeleteAmazing coincidence that it won the prize at the San Sebastian film festival - I was in San Sebastian in April! :-)
