We should not compare humans to God, but Messi is a godly player.

We are the last remaining country to allow ourselves two breaks in the season. You just have to look at England, Italy and Spain, they play right through the season. We on the other hand take six weeks off in the winter until the end of January, and that is a luxury.

Since Sven Goran Eriksson took over, England have been fantastic.

He has been named as the heir apparent of the great Argentine hero, Diego Maradona, by journalists, players, and Maradona himself, alike. I'd personally put him in a drawer of my bedside table.

For example, Michael Jordan earns $100million a year but continues to play basketball and remains a modest human being.

No one wanted to fall back behind so both teams wated for a mistake from the other.

The most important thing however is the money. What use would it be to us, to have a a mighty stadium but a useless team, because we couldn't afford anything better?
