what a genius on a football pitch, a privilege to watch him in his prime. Also, please will the english stop going on about a little bit of cheating in 1986 since for many years now there has been more cheating in the english leagues (particularly the premier league) than anywhere else on the planet. no-one mentions that in the same game in mexico one of the donkeys in the england line-up that day (i wont even mention his name) tried to take maradona's head off with his elbow way off the ball and failed in that act also. i will take the artist every time
The first world championship that I watched in 1986. Mexico. It was a phenomenal summer, summer vacation and I saw Diego Maradona and his super football. From that moment on, he made me fall in love with the Argentina national team. Since then I have been a fan of the Argentina national football team. Thank you Diego for everything. You are in my memory forever🙄

With Pele, most people have only seen him at his peak in a few international matches or in highlight cuts.
I find it hard to compare him to a Messi or Ronaldo of today where you can see almost all Champions League and league games.
Who knows Pele from his normal league games for Santos ?
The genius died, peace be upon him! Football is becoming more aggressive and tougher, and now it is almost impossible for one person to beat the whole team, I think that in the days of Maradonna, Messi could have done the same miracles.
I think, most of the post owners, never seen him on pitch, I just remember from my childhood, i saw only once first and last, in tv, that was the 94' world cup, when the nurse walk down with him from the pitch... and the shot for the punch in the ball by hand - as he did before - maybe the refree doesnt see it...
Probably he was a good player in his best years, but not for me, later on he blew in any football related activity, and he got the better and better chances without reason, only because of his name, nothing else, so what i saw, a man below far average, who lives from his past....
