This WILL be a great match, at least I hope so, and wish I could see it live on a big screen in Washington DC.

I agree with Pele that Messi is great, but maybe only as part of a team of greats with an unselfish and tightly agreed upon soccer bond. He certainly doesn't match Zidane, Ronaldo, Maradona, or Ronaldinho for amazing artistry, but his shot and shielded dribble may be among the best ever.
