Let's keep telling him that, then maybe he'll choke, like Ronaldo, "o Fenomeno" did in '98.
(Full disclosure) I HATE Argentine footballers.

Hexacampeão!

When they say he "eerily resembles" Maradona, do they mean that he uses his hands in potentially illegal ways, snorts the GDP of small countries in cocaine and looks snappy in a Speedo?

Ronaldo was no Lionel Messi. Hell, Maradona was no Lionel Messi.

I'm interested to see if Maradona's ego is willing to tank Argentina's WC campaign to prevent Messi's star from eclipsing his own.
