I think Leo Messi is in fact the next MARADONA and will have a huge impact in the attacking position for Argentina, possibly becoming the next world champion.

Comparisons are inevitable when you get to this level, although sometimes unfortunate, and the World Cup breeds legend. It puts a lot of pressure on a young player to be compared to the likes of Maradona or Pele, but I have to admit, I'm really excited to see Messi perform in Germany. He's so devastatingly clever on the ball, I think he's going to be one of the talked about players when Germany 06 is done.
