Does anyone want to know what people in Argentina really think of Lionel Messi?

I made a thread a long time ago about Messi in this Argentine forum http://www.futbol-argento.com.ar/

Now it's already 200+ pages and even though it cannot be due to its size representative of the entire argentine population, it does say some interesting things.

Messi's thread

(note: it's in spanish, but I assume google's language tools can provide a reasonable translation for those who cannot speak that language; or if you are very curious you can simply ask me or some other spanish speaking member to translate some parts for you.

They like him... i read it...

Why wouldnt they?

Passion doesnt seem to be as big for messi as it is for maradona...

Putting player skills aside...

i dont think any player will ever be more beloved in argentina than maradona...

many reasons for that too.

"Con todo lo que banco a Messi, creo que es demasiado salame para siquiera ser conciente de que algo asi pueda pasar."

"In spite of all my support to Messi, I think he would be too oblivious to even notice something like that could happen." When speaking about Basile's firing, which was rumored to be related to a player revolt.

LoooOOOOooooOOOOL Nirgall.
