It was a canny post tbh, then you ruined it for no reason other than to talk utter shit
What Maradona did for Napoli was what Brian Clough did for Notts Forest. It'll never happen again.

That's down to lack of worldwide tv coverage back then and players back then not having there games scrutinized like they do now though

You would think maradona never had a bad game the way some folk go on

Vast majority championing maradona would be lucky to have seen him play 10 times live for a full game
His historical achievements are all there to see though.
 
I dont like losing.
good for you

id have loved it if messi had torn the arse out of this world cup, just like frankel blew away all the old , this horse is better than that horse debates ,

messi has once again been found wanting , he just isn't as good as we all thought he could be

he didn't even nut anyone ffs

To be fair, you always mention this argument but then seem to favour Messi, which if you believe the above, you can't believe that you're in any position to judge?

It's a very valid point though mate that's why I use it

I can't recall favouring Messi over maradona. It's a impossible question to answer tbh

Just think modern day s players are more harshly judged due to worldwide tv coverage and every game covered

all maradonas games were extensively covered, just not by everyone

Think this sums up my thoughts perfectly to be honest. We'd all love to see a player do something so special that he's clearly the best ever. But I hate the idea of the accolade being cheapened when he hasn't lived up to it.

Don't get me wrong, he's up there. When the dust settles, he might even find himself above Cruyff, Di Stefano, Zidane etc. but he'll fall short of the big 2.
 
Not in the same bracket as Zidane the things Zidane done as a player who is 6ft 1in tall was awesome .Aye Messi can beat players easily but his low center of gravity helps him with him being short but as with Zidane being a tall player more difficult but yet he still pulled it off and also he won a world cup ,C/L AND LA LIGA TITLES .
 
Hes not and will never be regarded in the same bracket as pele or maradona. Quite right too after that tournament.

He was hugely disappointing
But he will in the future, just in the same way I'm sure people who said pele and maradona were nothing on puskas/di stefano etc.
