yeah messi is unlike most argentinian stereotypes in that he went to barcelona when he was 12 to be raised by the heirs of anarcho-syndicalism so he's not a dick as if he had come of age in say buenos aires (ha ha). actually argentinians outside of buenos aires are more normal-- cordobeses are actually cool.
