True but this thread is not just about their contributions to Barca. It's about who is the bigger and currently that has to be El Diego. I mean Maradona was three things: A leader, a very physical/bossy player, a one man army. Currently Messi embodies the later and even then his struggles...

And last I checked El Diego used to be a Barca player.

It's beyond me why so many picked Messi over Maradona. I mean he has all it takes to become even bigger than Maradona.... but currently El Diego is the top.

Up the thread of the greatest footballer that has ever lived.

Sports in Argentina Almost all popular sports in Argentina were brought from the UK by British railway workers who spend many years here back in the 1800's. Popular sports include: Football (of course), rugby, polo, cricket and horse racing, almost all originating in Britain. The national sport...

That's gonna be tough, I was thinking more I'd visit that huge flower or the Jap gardens. Also got a very important lunch with some Argentines on the last day in Buenos Aires.

Doubt I'll get the chance to. Only got some three days left here and two of them I'll be spending in Patagonia. I really want to update this thread with lots of pictures since it looks like an eyesore of text. That's gonna have to wait until I get back home and upload my pictures and if they...

Watching him come on the field for Argentina against Bolivia. I think he puked in a tunnel corner before stepping out on the grass. I guess the expectations for him when he plays for Argentina gets too much at times. Poor lad.

Nice read Furia. Do you live here or are you here on a longer trip? How long have you been here and where are you from originally? I'd love to know since its definitely a city I might consider coming back to in the future to live in for a year or two. It would also make a great contribution to...

Gonna be a while until I start writing about Barcelona again as I'm in Argentina at the moment. Beautiful country with great people. Figured we needed a thread on it, given the popularity of and interest in our Argentine players. Argentina Buenos Aires - Good Winds Buenos Aires is a very...

Manita clasico. It's a game that I will never forget. Also the best football I've ever seen in my life.

Who is that handsome man? ;)

This season?

I don't wanna talk about Messi anymore. I just can't. I'm done. I'm out of positive things to say about him because I simply cannot come up with any new words to do so. I also can't come up with any negative things to say about him because there are none. Every time I question his brilliance, he...

"naaaaaarh.... nah..... well yes" to the first and "nnnnmmmyeeeeeeeeeeaa no...... nah not really..." to the second.

Unfortunately one of my teeth fell out earlier today as a result of a jaw injury a couple of months ago so I have to head home one of the next couple of days to get it fixed. A shame really, was really starting to enjoy it here and my Spanish was improving tenfold. But then again I'll be back...
