Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Did you know that in certain parts of Kerala, Messi apparently 'dressed' in local attire and advertised for FIFA World Cup 2014? If these images are to be believed, it would seem that he's actually a footballer from Kerala; gracing several billboards of Kerala wearing the famous white
veshti (dhoti). You just have to love the craze for football in this gorgeous state!
So, this wildly popular captain of the Argentina football team, winner of FIFA Golden Ball 2014, arguably the world's best footballer and former protegee of Diego Maradona is secretly from God's Own Country! Or so these people think. Coolest thing ever we say.
Here are five of the most commonly spotted hoardings from Kerala which have made their way into social media and are giving us much joy.
Messi in any dress works for us, right? And so does Kerala! We wish we had found him dancing in the
veshti too though. That, would have been epic.
Is Neymar in trouble here?
A compilation of his various makeovers. Such a beauty.Suits him, don't you think?
Messi with his buddy Sergio Aguero. Just doing what they do best. That shirt looks like something Salman Khan wore in Hello Brother!
