Do you think Lionel Messi will be the "New Maradona" in the World Cup 2010?

I would love to see Messi reach the Superstar-dom in this world cup. Already he has achieved all that is there to achieve in Club football. Only world cup glory is pending for the young man from Argentina. He can cement his name as a legend if he can land the World Cup!! Cheers! Ram

yes, of course. He is a good player with a great skill and quick speed. he will be the "new maradona".

i think it depends on how messi works and his friendsmate. soccer is not individual sports and needs a team to make a achievement

IF you ask me ! , messi is already better than Maradona . He is the all time best player . he does have capabilities to make Argentina lift the World Cup . Messi is still 22 and I think he can achieve lot in his upcoming years. Ronaldo era is going to be over now , I guess .Messi has been crowned as the world player of the year and I am sure he is going to be the player of the year , next year also . I think Barcelona is winning trophies mainly because of Lionel Messi . He is both a playmaker and a terrific goal scorer . Anyways , lets see that what happens in the world cup .

I want to say there is only one Maradona in the world,and only one Messi too.I hope he can win the WC 2010 with his coach Maradona.that would be the most exciting thing of the SA WC 2010 events.It will be Messi's show time!

Yes,of course.Messi in the soccer player I admire most,I also believe in him that he will make gr8 contributions to Argentina in the World Cup 2010.Another wonderful player in my mind would Diego Milito.I hope to whtch their shows in the coming WC 2010. Happy mylotting.

well, he is quite good. i'm not one to give any assumptions there, but he may do really well in the upcoming world cup
