Lionel Messi: 5 Year Old Genius

By: chris | October 16th, 2008

Pardon us if this is old, but it’s an international travel day and we’ve taken to combing YouTube, where we found this little gem of a 5 year old Lionel Messi running rampant over, around and through other kids who aren’t on the same planet. There’s no confirmation, but everyone in the background is yelling “Leo” and this kid is fucking brilliant, so he has to at least be Messi-esque.

The signs were all there, weren’t they?

  He’s like a grown-up Freddy Adu.

  You just gotta love 5-year old soccer. No passing. Just dribbling & scoring.
