Is Lionel Messi A Filthy Racist?

By Gregory Wakeman | May 11, 2012 @ 8:40 am

Lionel Messi has been accused of a number of things. The greatest footballer to ever play the game? Check. A genius? Check. The next Maradona? Check. A racist? Um ... check, apparently. According to Royston Drenthe, a Real Madrid player who is currently on loan at English side Everton, Messi called him a 'negro' repeatedly during his time in Spain.

Drenthe was speaking to the Dutch magazine Helden where he says that he clashed with the diminutive Argie a number of times during his tenure in Spain, especially when he was on loan at Hercules.

"I played against (Messi) many times and we always have problems with each other," Drenthe said. "You know what bothers me so? That tone which he always says, 'negro, negro'. I understand that negro in South America is very common, but we cannot stand it.

In case you haven’t heard, that Lio Messi guy has got game.

The 24 year-old Barcelona star from Argentina is already recognized as one of the best players in the game today. On Wednesday he helped further cement his place in history when he broke the single season scoring record previously held by Gerd Muller.

Muller, who played for Bayern Munich, has held the record since the 1972-73 season with 67 goals. With a hat trick against Malaga Wednesday Messi set the new mark with 68 this season (2011-12).

Some purists might balk at Messi’s record since he played a few more games than Muller did, but at 24 the chances are pretty good Messi will shatter his own record before he is done playing.

Is Lionel Messi The Greatest Footballer Of All Time?

By Gregory Wakeman | March 15, 2012 @ 9:25 pm

Lionel Messi is a pretty talented individual. His skill with a soccer ball has seen him labelled as one of the greatest the world has ever seen, which at the age of 24 is quite an impressive feat. Last week Messi scored five goals in the demolition of Bayer Leverkusen which was his 8th hattrick of an incredible season and now sees him only 5 goals away from becoming Barcelona's all time leading goal scorer.

However for some, Messi's talents, whilst ridiculous, do not match others who have played the game. Pele, Diego Maradona, Johan Cryuff, George Best and Franz Beckenbauer have each shown off their discernible gifts to the world and been roundly lauded because of it. But which player is actually the best ever? And no David Beckham doesn't make the list.
