Exactly
He also can score or assist even when he is not at his 100% or when his team is sucking badly

Barcelona this year is much weaker than barcelona 2 years ago
Only improvement is Messi

Yes, that's my point. I see a much weaker Barça but an improved version of Messi.

I dont want to insult the great players on Barcelona but having a Messi type player draws a lot of attention from opposing sides in turn opening gaps for your teammates to exploit. Its hard to defend Xavi and Iniesta's through balls and passes when you have to make sure Messi doesnt have a B line straight for your goal. But like i said im not saying guys like Xavi and Iniesta are not the best at what they do just saying Messi makes it hard for teams to mark out any of them when he can fillet your defense like a fish

Is there any chance that Messi and Lans Armstrong are friends?

Well, let us see him swim in the "D-WALL Fish Bowl" !

The thing is, CB's are not the ones who need to stop him. This taks would have to be handled by Martinez/Schweinsteiger duo.

Martinez would be a great help since he has played Messi and co. for many years. I feel like Gustavo would make a hard tackle and get sent off cause he dived.....

I hope everyone remembers Germany vs Argentina. Schweini will own that kiddo!

I really hope we see Bayern vs Barca this year.

Messi doesnt dive.

I'd prefer to play Gustavo if we somehow pair against Barcelona. Of course, I'm talking about Gustavo of the early season form.

Yeah
A Gustavo-Martinez-Schweinsteiger midfield would be good

HELP! should I watch the clasico or the pool-arsenal game?

initially I wanted to ask: messi or suarez, but then I realized that would be unfair on the clearly inferior Messi

I'm going for the clasico on TV, and using the laptop for spying (Arsenal) and scouting (L'pool).

Well, that sounds a bit like, 'should I go and watch Django or Lincoln?'

Well, Lincoln of course. (You already watched Django).
