Dancing queen: Messi wants to see Cheryl doing the tango if Argentina winLionel Messi has taken a swipe at Ashley Cole by inviting the England defender's wife Cheryl to join the Argentina camp at the World Cup.
X Factor judge Cheryl split from Chelsea left-back Cole in February following revelations he had sent naked pictures of himself to a string of women's mobiles and allegations he had been cheating.
Cheryl is unlikely to be joining the rest of the England WAGS in backing Fabio Capello's side in South Africa so Barcelona star Messi has stepped in.
He said: 'I don't know if Cheryl is going to want to support England. She might be a bit anti-England players at the moment.
'If she is looking for a new nation to follow at the World Cup, she should look no further than Argentina.
'We play the prettiest football, have the prettiest players, and Argentinian men also know how to treat their women.' And Messi would love 26-year-old Cheryl to join the party if Argentina land the big prize.
He added: 'She would of course have to do the Tango. I don't think there would be a shortage of Argentinian players willing to help teach her.'
Bad news: Cole was on the front pages as much as the back earlier this seasonsource :dailymail
