Messi's Birthday All-Star Game
Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 2:31 amDon't think many of you saw it as it was on at midnight in the UK, but what a game. 7-7 final, Suarez played and scored a hat trick. Really fun game seeing all those players play together like that and just have a good time.
Loved that at the end of the game after Messi's team conceded a pen, Suarez just rammed into the back of Ortega and gave them a pen in the 90th. Looked like it was on purpose to me, and him and Ortega were laughing about it right away as well.
On a side note, James Rodriguez played and he's been linked with us, he looked really good. Wasn't afraid of anything despite the fact he's only 20 (?). Seedorf also played, and I must say despite the fact he's so old he could be a really good bench player for pretty much any club, he can still pass the ball as good as anybody. He's a free agent, so why not? I know it was just a friendly and everything, but still I was impressed.
Overall it was one of the more entertaining games I've ever seen.
