Hating on Lionel

Evidently, some Argentine fans aren't happy with their country's best footballer, as his goal in the 110th minute in the final of the World Cup of Clubs vaulted Barca past the Argentine club Estudiantes. As you can see in the photo accompanying the article linked above, some fans have taken to tossing slurs regarding his sexual orientation on building walls, while a radio station said he is not an Argentine.

The undercurrent of this outrage is that Messi plays a lot better for Barca than for the national team, but I can't imagine that this sort of stuff will motivate him to play a lot better.
