Led Zeppelin, Lionel Messi and strange challenges. We love it.

There are very few things that JOE would never doubt and you can add Lionel Messi’s acting skills into that category.

If given the choice, we would cast the Argentinian genius in any film from the last 5 years provided he always acts with a ball. The King’s Speech with football. Brilliant.

The world’s most gifted footballer was in Japan during his recent mid-season break where he was challenge to volley a ball over a beam that was 18-meters high and then control it with his feet without ever letting it hit the ground.

Could he do it? Lets just say that JOE is now trying to organise a regular slot for Messi on The Late, Late Show.

Take a look.
