Women are throwing themselves at Lionel Messi. Literally

By: Bob | July 9th, 2007
   

In simpler times groupies would throw their undergarments at performers to grab their attention. I speak from experience. That isn’t enough in this modern age. In order to make yourself known you have to throw yourself at a player as we see in the video above. All that for a hug. You have to jump out of a skyscraper to get a peck on the cheek. It didn’t even faze Lionel Messi. He must have learned that from Maradona.

    lol, Messi paused because he sensed feet were coming in, man his skills r impressive.
  • MCBias
    I think it's funny that Lionel paused just for a second, thus throwing off the woman's timing for her jump. Otherwise, she does land on him.
  • You could pretty much recast the Three Amigos with the Argentina squad:
    Lionel Messi as Ned Nederlander (Martin Short)
    Juan Riquelme as Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase)
    Javier Zanetti as Lucky Day (Martin Short)
    Carlito Tevez as El Guapo
    Javier Mascherano as Jefe
    Almost any player as Harry Flugleman (Joe Mantegna)
    and stick a mustache on Basile and you have the 'My Little Buttercup' singing Bartendar

    Basile: "We don't have beer, just Tequila"
    Messi: "What's Tequla?"
    Basile: "It's like beer."

    This happens to Carlos Tevez too, because his glance turns women to stone.
  • "Are gringos falling from the sky?!"

  • Only in South America do girls throw themselves at Hobbits.
  • Oops. Yeah. I can't read, either. Sorry, Julien/Juliet.
  • I am quite certain that Bob parcels out his affection for his bloggers by who corrects his grammar the least.

    Bob, did I mention the words faze or phase? Ever? I think not. This obviously makes me THE best Offside blogger.

    Do you hear that, Sam and Julien? Me. Not you. Me.
  • Sam
    Sorry, random grammar check correction: in this instance, it's spelt faze.

    Faze: to drive away, frighten, from Middle English fesen, from Old English fEsian to drive away

    Phase: a particular appearance or state in a regularly recurring cycle of changes
  • Juliet
    Sorry, random grammar check -- it's faze, not phase. And Messi is cool as a cucumber.
  • Dive! Yellow card! You see how easily she went down? Oh jeez, that has a double meaning I didn't intend.
