How could anyone hate Messi? He is such a joy to watch. Then again, I'm a huge Barca fan.

Because he's the best player in the world, people love to hate the best. How many haters does LeBron have? Plenty haha

People hate Lebron for other reasons though.

[5superbowlsandproud!]

No one hated my boy Jerry Rice.

Gabe I actually agree with you here, though I'm also a Barca fan. Not to mention unlike Maradonna, Messi is actually a good person who donates tons of his money. He is a small guy, but his speed more than makes up for it.

You are a huge bandwagoner

You bandwagon on spain, heat, and now barca get real man

Okay well another example is Peyton Manning, he's a great guy off and on the field, but still has haters, because he is one of the great QBs of all time.

Something about Messi's attitude rubs me the wrong way.  Then again, I could be biased because I like Cristiano Rolando.

It's impossible to hate Manning other than when he is lighting up you're defense.

Hey, I admit I'm probably biased. I just don't like him.

Which is 90% of the time haha. Many people still do.

No, it was the way you worded your post lol

I guess there will always be some hate tied with success. I think those that are successful but still handle themselves with grace have far less detractors. I wouldn't say I hate Lebron, but I can't stand his arrogance at times. The other thing that bugs me is when stars whine. Lebron and Tom Brady come to mind here as well.

Wait you don't like Messi's attitude but you are a Ronaldo fan?? Lol, Ronaldo is so much worse.

Heat? I hate them lol. Barca on the other hand I've always like them (though they've always been good). Two reasons. Simply put I love their play style, however boring it becomes at times, and I really, really, really hate Real Madrid, especially Ronaldo and Ozil. I like Atletico more than I like Real Madrid (I do like Falcao though).

So you admit you bandwagoned on spain? good to know

Lol, I know. I'm biased. I won't lie. I do think Rolando is really talented. I can't explain it.

I agree, Messi isn't a bad person (no ine can deny that) but when it comes to soccer, people don't like him because he's successful.

[Guest nflfan123]

My favorite soccer player is still Drogba lol

[gabefergy]

Lol, I know. I'm biased. I won't lie. I do think Rolando is really talented. I can't explain it.

He is extremely talented, but he's so arrogant. Reminds me if A Rod.

It's b/c Ronaldo rubs you the right way

Drogba is great. My favorite player is Torres lol

To be fair I bandwagoned in '06 lol. Pakistan was banned by Fifa many years ago. My Dad is a Argentina fan (half of what they showed in Pakistan was Argentina soccer), so he grew up watching Maradonna. When I was little my Dad once said that it was a good thing I raised 2 kids to like exactly the same sports teams I like, and me being little I got mad and said I hate Argentina, and since a Spain game was on at the time I decided to banwagon to Spain and here I am now lol. My Dad and brother never let me forget that lol.

Lol. Must be it.

I like Eto'o more than Drogba personally.

Yeah funny I'd sooner like the Jets. I'm not that crazy.

[Ed_Reed20]

Eto'o was one another level in his prime. From Malaga to Barca,  just ridiculous. 

 

At this point Balotelli and Mata are probably my favorite players. .

I love Balotelli. He's super talented. He's going to be a big star for the Azzurri.

Ronaldo is more versatile. Can beat u anyway
