At Mexico 86 it was clearly Ball to Hand, Clearly to close and the ball was struck to hard for him to get his arm down Quote
Dirty Sanchez Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 Wonderful assist from Steve Hodge. Steve Hodge genuinely has Maradona's shirt from that game. No doubt a gift in appreciation of his pinpoint cross. Quote

Balmullo Bud Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 Look forward to seeing that. Most gifted player in my lifetime in my opinion, but a total heedcase. What he could do with a football, his speed, the vision he had, his passing and the goals he scored were all unbelievable. He also got lumps kicked out of him every game, especially compared to players nowadays. Would have achieved even more if he hadn’t gone off the rails. Too young to know enough of Pele to be fair.

Pele was a sportsman , a gentleman and at 17 was a marked man who still managed over 1000 goals. No doubt Maradona had quality but I reckon Messi is far better as is Hazard. Disgusting man in every way. Maradona was always off the rails................... Quote

Its all about opinions All have low centre and great balance , Hazard doesnt need to cheat to score However I would argue Messi is far better, not only can he beat players he scores 40 plus a season, Maradona managed 22 goals in 2 years at Barca The fact he cheated on the World Stage at a QF should basically have carried a life ban ( even if it was against England ) Quote

It doesn't matter the gravity of the game being played, cheating is cheating!! Quote

Usual real talent, too much money and a hedonistic lifestyle - we all have views on that . . . ranging from "lucky b" to "what a waster" Still be interesting to see what is in this film Quote

shull Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 Dinnae think Maradona could have won the World Cup all by himself if he was Scottish and part of our Team. Quote

Don't know, but from 00:14 onwards he takes a few seconds to beat half the Scotland team by himself too. Quote

In athletics some cheats get banned in football they get adored.... Maradona is a talented cheat Quote
