Argentina will win a major trophy the day after Messi retires lololo

So the  next tourney?

yes, what timing i have 

[Duque de Bragança]

Good!

For Argentina?


[spoiler] rhetorical or not?[/spoiler]

[celedhring]

For Barça. He always returns very tired from these international breaks. Plus with any luck it will have the same effect as the WC final defeat and fire us towards another treble season.

[Duque de Bragança]

I was just being facetious. 

[celedhring]

Incidentally, I fully expect Messi to backtrack once he cools off. For all the shit he gets from the Argie media, he is Argentina through and through.

Checking their official site for info shows the best 4-0-4 ever

Did Sunderland get bought by a Chinese person?

I assume, like most fodbol clubs, they're trying to sell gear to Asians.

Why do you say so? I see nought chinesey

Messi is sentenced to 21 months in jail for tax fraud, won't serve because rich, duh.

[The Larch]

Messi is sentenced to 21 months in jail for tax fraud, won't serve because rich, duh.

Not because of being rich but because of the sentence being under two years and for a white collar crime, with no priors. That's the general guideline for that stuff over here.

[celedhring]

Yeah, you don't do time for a first offence over here, if it's under two years and no violence/injury was involved.

Upper right corner, next to the "Merchandise" has a "中文" which takes you to a Chinese language version of the website.
