BBC overhype!!!

[Nade]

I was just scanning the BBC sports website as ever when i see a little caption in the corner saying ' Was Lionel Messi's goal for Argentina against Mexico the best you have seen?' Immidiately i remember a recent Messi goal in spain last season which was maradona esque and i'm thinking surely he can't have scored another sick goal - even better then that! So i go straight to youtube and have a gander expecting an amazing goal. But what do i see? A bloody chip! Chips which Rooney does in his sleep and not even worth another mention other than being a 'very good goal', but the Beeb have the cheek to ask us - a footballing nation - whether that's the best goal we've seen!! Sorry but that's really pissed me off!

Chill out ol boy! It was just a comment to start a debate which is what the Beeb message boards are about. All today's talking points have been killed many times in the last month or so - Tevez, West Ham, Leeds etc etc. Of course it isn't the best goal anyone's seen and like you rightly say his goal against Getafe was so much better but it gets a debate started

Not guilty mate. The guy in question supports Swindon. That's me (and anyone remotely sane) ruled out!

Well i can only go on what i see and this was it:[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/TOMWRI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-4.jpg[/IMG]
Messi's magic goal
Was Lionel Messi's goal for Argentina against Mexico the best you have seen?



If i'd known it was just a comment from someone on 606 i'd have taken no notice at all, but it was made to look as if the BBC think the goal was god-like with it's own section and everything, not just a side quote from a 606'er (which i never look at btw). So now i'm annoyed at the BBC for mis-representing themselves



(Thanks for moving the post Aliando! )

[aliando]

no probs nade - similar to you, i've given up reading the 606 stuff - it's like reading the shit that the sun writers write

Wasnt the best goal ever but my god he is the best player I have ever seen at 20 years old.

20 years old and hes the best player in the best team in the world (argubly domestically and internationally) scored a hat trick agaisnt Real Madrid, won leagues, european cups....

You cant put Ronaldo and Rooney in the same class as Messi and Torres in the same class as any of them

I know Torres was only because i ran out of names

BUT Rooney and Ronaldo!...... Easily in the same bracket as Messi, i reckon Ronaldo is the best out of these, but Kaka the best in the world atm imo.

[Matt]

Its all about opinions but I think Messi is a level above from what I see at the minute.....

I agree Kaka is stil the finest in the world but Leo is starting to push him very very close for my money.......if he stars on sunday in the final V Brazil it will be interesting, He is a real big game player as well, dont think Ive ever seen a big game where he hasnt shone.

Pfffft. Hes just a Chris Waddle wannabe
