Is it possible for someone in America to not know who Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is?

  My friend has a cat named Messi, so i know he’s a soccer player but didn’t know which team until last week. I read an article once about a Ronaldo statue but still don’t know who he plays for. I do know that they’re both older than most players.

  Of course. At some point in your life you too didn’t know who Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi were. You weren’t born with your current knowledge.

  I live in Italy and didn’t bothered to know who messi was, so I guess yes

  I’ve heard the names but they could knock on my door and I’d have no idea who they are.

  And that’s okay. All they do is play a meaningless game really, really well.

  They’re footballers, yeah? Couldn’t pick them out of a lineup or tell you much beyond that. And that I only know from seeing them on some type of advertisement I’d imagine.
