I was born in Argentina and I can say that Messi is NOT a good athlete. He has a hunch back, rounded shoulders, and forward head posture. He needs a serious look at Neanderthal No More series. He also lacks over all strength. This is why he can only play good in the Spanish league which is way lighter than the English or Italian league. He also lacks heart, in big moments he does not show up. He has a certain talent but he does not come to mind when I think of great athletes.[/quote]
Didn’t he have pretty serious hormone problems as a child (cause of the neanderthal look) which led him to play in the Spanish league since only those team could afford to pay him and pay for his treatment?[/quote]
Yes he had hormone problems as a child that impeded his growth. I’m not saying that its his fault, but this reality disqualifies him as great athlete. Sprinters are usually born with a muscle structure that gives them an advantage in running fast. It’s not our faults that we could train more than them and still could never beat them.
