The Mess(i) I Want To Avoid

Lionel Messi is the best player in the world right now. I'm not making a statement. I'm stating a fact. It's accepted so widely that it can most definitely be considered as fact, although I differ in my own personal views (being a United supporter and everything). Makes him a modern day god, if such a thing could ever exist. Have you thought about how boring this makes the situation for football enthusiasts, then?

Having an accepted ace of a footballer, apparently faultless in his ability and insurmountable in his skill. They say he has the capacity to make every other player out there like a footballing dwarf (yes, only in that particular respect for obvious reasons). Maybe he does, but why the need to label that? Makes for a dull outing for sports journalists around the world, doesn't it? A lack of competition paves way for dullness and a forced acceptance of supremacy. Nobody wants that in a world that is overflowing with cut-throat competition in just about every other sphere. Release him of the tag and believe you me, soon someone will come along that vie for the tag too - that'll compete on the level of His Highness. Now THAT should be interesting, shouldn't it?
