London, July 6 (ANI): Football stars Fernando Torres and Lionel Messi are betting one another on which band will do better - Kasabian or Oasis.
Spain striker Torres and his Argentina rival have been sending texts to each other after Messi revealed his love for Oasis in Bizarre.
“I read that Messi had discovered Oasis and was listening to them before World Cup matches, so I texted him to say that, while Oasis were good, Kasabian were the best British band since The Beatles,” the Sun quoted him as saying.
“He replied saying ‘No chance!’ So I texted back saying that I bet Kasabian take Spain further than Oasis do Argentina.
“I have already won that bet, but I’m now backing them to help Spain win the World Cup.
“When I came to Liverpool I was very excited because I loved The Beatles, and I knew that England was famous for having great bands.
“I didn’t know much about Kasabian, but I found them very quickly and they have become my favourite band.
“For nearly a year now we have been playing Club Foot in the dressing room before every Spanish international,” he added. (ANI)
