Ever since World Cup 2006, Argentina’s Lionel Messi has been my favorite football (soccer) player in the world. He’s small and fast, with ridiculous ball-handling skills and an undying heart of passion.
The following goal is exactly why I love him. The comparisons to his countryman Maradona are inescapable.
UPDATE: Someone's gone through the trouble of putting Messi's goal side by side with Maradona's legendary score from the 1986 Argentina/England World Cup match, voted by fans as the “Goal of the Century” in a 2002 poll by FIFA. The similarities are staggering.
