I also want Messi to win this one as much as you do, as it must be his best/last call as contender.
Having said that, its all matter of opinions. I recall Maradona being Maradona 365 in Barca, and in Napoli, and not only shining at WCs.
I totaly undrestand you consider Messi as THE God of football, but for me, who have seen Maradona shine from 82 til 90, Messi is not the first genius.
During 8 years war where Iran Tv only had rozeh, rish o pashm, the only positiv thing was Watching 82 and 86 on TV.
I watched half of the World cup 86 in bunkers in Tehran, due to air attack. 12 years old kid, surley Maradona stole my Heart.
now in 2014, there is no war, I live in Europe and Watch even crappy Danish 2nd division live on tv, surley even if Argentina wins it, it won't have the same impact, as Grande Diegos 86.
Therfore... for me... Diego is the God, and Messi is the reminder of what Gods look like!
