How good, how transcendent, how utterly magical is Argentinian soccer superstar Lionel Messi?
Even his opponents -- well at least one of them -- bow down to him.

Messi and La Abiceleste played a pre-World Cup tuneup match against Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday night in Buenos Aires. In the pre-game handshake line, Ataullah Guerra of the visiting side didn't clasp hands with the star -- he delivered a full-on bow.
Why would one man bow down to another man with whom he was about to compete in a sporting match? Watch this video and it all will make perfect sense.
Of course, Guerra's submissive gesture calls to mind this classic Wayne's World scene.
And we'd be remiss not to mention this 1996 classic from Westside Connection.
Bowing down to a player you consider greater than you -- if that kind of courtesy, professionalism and respect caught on in other sports, it would be no bad thing.
