paragraph about Lionel Messi

The identical song rang around the New Meadowlands Stadium the next day as Messi was carried out during the first half of the game after leaping to combat a header, colliding with 6′ 4″ United States defender Oguchi Onyewu, and landing with a swollen left eye. Almost 80,000 fans braved the cold in order to see Messi’s characteristic slalom runs, which are usually only seen on GolTV, Fox Soccer Channel, and YouTube. Fans chanted “Mes-si! Mes-si!” as he returned to the field, and he rewarded them by finishing the whole 90 minutes, running through a thicket of American shirts time after time. He received the ball in the 61st minute. He got the ball in midfield and twisted 180 degrees in mid-stride to shake midfielder Michael Bradley, then rocketed away from defender Carlos Bocanegra’s two-handed grab and bounced off forward Landon Donovan. Messi was shooting for goalkeeper Tim Howard with the ball still glued to his feet when the referee paused play to call a foul on US player Maurice Edu and award Messi a free kick beyond the US box. Last night, Lionel Messi did what Lionel Messi does best, scoring a spectacular goal in Paris Saint-2-0 Germain’s Champions League win over Manchester city.
