Lionel Messi And Barcelona Accused Of Sending Secret Signals To Syrian Rebels

A frankly bizarre video from a Syrian news channel has claimed that Messi and his Barcelona team-mates use their dribbling skills to send messages to warring Syrian rebels

Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi and his Barcelona team-mates have been involved in attempts to smear Syrian rebels.  In a move that could invariably be described as convuluted, desperate or just plain bonkers, the voiceover over this video shown on state channel Al-Dunya says that the runs and passes Iniesta, Messi and eventual goalscorer Pedro make are reflective of the movements that rebels appear to be making in delivering a shipment of guns in the north of the country.

Reports from this website seem to suggest its real, while there is some (understandable) doubt to its validity and there are suggestions it is fake and an attempt by rebels to smear the, ahem, good name of Assad’s regime.  Either way, it’s very silly indeed.

No real surprise. Everyone knows that Bradford Park Avenue's 106 goals against and meagre 20 points were deciphered by the Kremlin in 1968 and ultimately led to the failure of the 'Prague Spring' the same year.

Leo has always stated that after football he wants to be given a country and become a lifelong dictator a la Castro, Chavez and Obama. I just always thought it would be Argentina. Who knew?
