Well, its something special with those Argies. Every potential star is called the new maradona, the next thing. I name a few. Aimar, Saviola, Riquelme and now Messi. Especially Aimar and Saviola were potential legends. But Aimar is too injurey prone and Saviola was benched alot. Now it's Messi's turn. I have to admit that Messi has the biggest talent of all (well I think Aimar came VERY close) but he is still 20. His career got in full speed very early. That also happened with the others. They became fantastic players, but not the next .....! Maybe you can compare Messi's career to that of Michael Owen. The guy was a prodigy when he was young. His career even went faster than that of Messi. But now, injuries, just injuries. I have read the biography of Maradona and he said one thing about Michael Owen, he said: 'Michael is the only good thing that came out of the WC98, I really hope for this kid that injuries dont kill him.' Well they did I hope this doesnt happen to Messi though. He has (I think) more talent than all of them and if injuries dont hit him then he can become a legend. (He has to win a WC though )
