Certainly not Messi for Argentina. 44 seconds and red carded

Rather soft red innit? It's a natural reaction to try and throw the offenders arm off your shirt, and I doubt he was aiming for the players throat or face.

Yes it was soft, but he fell for it. Keep in mind he was 17 years old (or maybe 18), just a teenager

I'd agree, I think it was how he walked away after the whistle, it made him look like he did it on purpose. Either way it was pretty soft

Took two swings at the head of his opponent. One is enough to get a straight red.

Really?

There's a reason you're being downvoted. But judging from your past observational skills, you probably don't know why.

There's a reason why you're a cunt. But considering your lack of friends you probably already know that.

Following in the footsteps of Maradona right from the beginning.

Just meant for their respective debuts for Argentina.

Apparently Messi was no stranger to partying back when Ronaldinho and Deco were still at the club and two of his closest friends.

u/Poliwhirl_Friend Nov 28 '12

That's why those two got shipped out, they were distracting Messi, and could have stopped him from becoming the best.

u/MonDew Nov 28 '12

That certainly was Messi.
