At least if they get some more playing time together. But Messi's a total prodigy, no current footballer has done at 19 what Messi is doing at his age.

Arg wants this one more than Brazil because of what happened in the last WC (and in the last CA), but I'm sure Basile is also looking at this competition as a way to gear up for the WC. THis is probably why he chose Palacio over Saviola. I would die of joy if Riquelme sticks it out and is majestic and winning in the next two years, but I think that everyone knows that the next WC will be Messi's. (This is a billion dollar business after all. No one in charge is asking me!) I think that the only way that Riquelme plays a central part in the national team in the next few years is if he unlocks that tornado that is Lionel Messi. Riquelme is brilliant. Did anyone see last night how he shot the ball to a Gremio defender to freak him out, and the defender almost made an own goal? I would want him on my team if he were a fat mental case 40 year old.

Riquelme or Messi way decide the outcome of a game, but to win a tournament, everything has to go perfect. Winning a tournament is more than Riquelme or Messi's stunner. We are used to saying Maradona did it singlehandedly, Zidane did it singlehandedly or Tevez did it singlehandedly, Ronaldinho did it singlehandedly. But none of them did actually. Wish everybody give their best for the team rather than ensuring his own 30 million dollar move to some European club. carrie,

Ayala, mascherano and a few seem to enjoy playing with him. But I dont think Messi,Aimar, Crespo, Veron etc like Riquelme. Would be interesting to see how Messi and Riquelme complement each other. Much will depend on how the coach use them. Or else, the day Messi shines with his dribbles, Riquelme may look like a fool in the ground. Dnd the day, Riquelme is back with his exquisite artistry, Messi may look like a fool with him failed attempts to run down defenders. But to me, Riquelme may not give flashy moments that look great on you tube, but Argentina will always have a better game and a change of winning. But Messi might give a few you tube moments, with Argentina still not benefitting much, like the game against Netherlands. Alexa,
