Thanks for the explanation, Hawk. Never heard that one before.
As for Messi, it's not quite that he was ****, but everyone else around him was. There was a comment made by our guys in the after-match analysis that said basically "Messi likes to be tricky, confuse the opposition. He likes to feint. But there's no point in feinting if there's no-one there to feint to." And it's true. You can't carry a whole team on your back. Even Ronaldo, who may have seemed to have done it with Portugal, had some decent backup from his team-mates. Messi was one man trying to play against eleven. Not gonna happen. I bet he's really in the dumps now though. No matter how it plays, the press are going to crucify him and he'll be blamed for everything, which is really unfair.
