About messi

Lionel messi is the best player in the world

This is spelt wrong

He is the best current soccer player in the world, so I decided he should be voted for at least once in this. He is a really good player, and I wanted him to win :( at least he gets one vote. I think he should have gotten at least second, after pele, because he is the best current in the world.

Truly a man of good will. Despite all the times he might've been cheated out of victories, he showed the people of Brazil what hard work could achieve. He felt guilty being born in a richer family, and in the country of Brazil, the gap between poor in rich is still wide. He believed everyone should be given a fair chance, and he planned on making a school for anyone to learn, before the tragedy struck in what became his last race.

Ayrton Senna is a epic driver, sadly, he had a car accident when he was driving. He has no injured or anything, but he don't breath. I was crying when I heard the news that he had a terible car accident.

Hey people. Ayrton Senna had to be THE BEST formula 1 driver in history, by far. he sadly died one day doing what he loved, racing. he was amazing, with tons of awards. do you know how much he meant to so many people? Please vote for him, the man who changed racing history for all formula 1 fans. please.

F1 driver yeppie come on people vote for him if he wins you will regrete this
