0 he sucks Rooney and javier hernadez r better then that long hair check how many they both have n u will see messi fans and argentinansMessi can never suck at playing football.86 goals in a calendar year can never be a sucky record.To compare someone who hasnt scored 40 goals in a season or calender year to someone who has twice that plus 6 goals.That is unheard of.Messi's shoes has more talent than rooney has in his entire body.hernandez is good but still cant be compared to messi.
