World's Best Soccer Player Forms Universe's Worst Bro-Band Tribute Band

It was looking good for futbol to get some American respect. It's looking less good today.

Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi has formed an Oasis tribute band and is all set to take them on a secret European tour. ... The 23-year-old said he has also recruited a Barcelona teammate to play singer Liam - but won't say who it is yet. "Our disguise is based on how Oasis looked in the mid-90s. We have our wigs, clothes and glasses sorted," the Sun quoted Messi as saying.

Oooh, oooh, please let it be Puyol.
