Love Over Gold by Dire Straits is a beautiful song that I have been listening to for the past few weeks. This is a song that I really connect to. It teaches me important lessons about life. The song talks about what all the great ones do. They “walk out on the high wire, they are dancers on thin ice, they pay no heed to the danger, they throw their caution to the wind, and they go dancing through doorways just to see what they will find.” This song reminds me a lot of Messi. He knows there is danger when he is flying at defenders, but he does not care. We all have to take chances to succeed. We all have to “dance through doorways, just to see what we will find.” As a footballer and as a person in life, I am going to remember this song throughout all of my days and try to live by what this song says. Watch this video and listen to the lyrics and you will see what I am talking about. On another note, I love Dire Straits and I think you guys should check out some of their music.

One of the more interesting aspects that goes into picking up the right pair of boots (in my opinion) is the comfortability, breakdown and design of each pair for the hard earned money you’re about to throw down.
