Argentina is famous for excellent beef, tantalizing tango, and producing some of the most famous football players in history. Lionel Messi, perhaps one of the best footballers of our generation, has attained such a high level of respect across the world that the administration of Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital city, has decided to honor the striker by unveiling a statue which immortalizes the living legend in bronze.
