Man, you speak trash.

Messi plays on the attacking trident which also consists of Eto'o and Ronaldinho!

He is not a striker though, which Robinho is... Eto'o is the lone striker, with Ronaldinho and Messi behind him as two attacking midfielders from the sides...

Zidane(algeria), Henry(martinique), Viera(senegal), Seedorf(surinam), Davids(surinam), Essien(ghana), Desailly.... etc. etc. are all African, they just where born in french or dutch colonies that means they can represent those teams at international level.

African players rubbish? do you know anything about football at all??????

I wasn't 100% sure that it was african but wikipedia was running to slow. still it dosn't detract from the fact that the majority of great french players from the last 10 years have been african.

I forgot Trezeguet and thuram, two other outstandingly consistent players at the highest level.

Trezeguet african? He is argentinian, he played in Platense, and he lived in Argentina until 18 i think.

I did not say they are crap, check it again...
Most of those players you have mentioned above have been developed in the youth academies of European teams, they can play soccer in the European discipline!

He scored one and provided the assist for one more last night against PAO...

I was wondering what you guys personally think about Lionel Messi of Barca and Robinho of Real... That would also be nice if you tell me about the likelihood of them signing for Milan next summer(Alhtough I know both are obnoxiously expensive if you wanna snatch them)...

i think he is good but a bit overrated

mmm overrated?? did you see the match barça-panathinaikos? i think he is rated ok, he is great, no not great, he is spectacular, 3 players were around him the whole time and they couldnt stop him, and when he scored he dragged into the goal, hahaha, he is awsome.

Brazil always been better than Argentina.

are you serious? Argentina and Brazil are the best two national teams in the world, they are both the best, none is better.
And about messi, yes Aimar and Bilos can be in first place, but Riquelme and Battaglia are not the same kind Messi is, Roman is a full midfielder, a creative midfielder but his movements are slower, he controls the ball in the midle, and Battaglia is a defensive midfielder, he can play in teh midle or in the right, and Messi is a midfielder/striker from my point of view, and cant be compared to Battaglia or Riquelme.
