The All Blacks present Argentina with a special signed New Zealand jersey in honour of the football legend.
Telling someone that their opinion of Messi being the best ever is “so wrong”, is well, so wrong. Statistically, he boots the arse of Maradona. Personally, I prefer Maradona as a player to,watch, but there’s no denyIng that Messi is the most productive of the two and if someone wants to use that to gauge who the best player is, that should be ok.AberdeenYid , reason for the disagree?
I think it’s a ridiculous debate anyway. Why does it matter who is the best ever? Let’s just enjoy each player for who they are and what they do.
Regarding Pele, I've said before that when you look at videos of him he looks like a modern day powerhouse of a striker playing with amateurs.
He was undoubtedly incredible. Imagination, grace, power, touch, the guy was absolutely a complete striker. If he was young and playing today I have no doubt he'd be a global star.
But as

says, the 'best' is irrelevant. Maradona was something the world of football had never seen before, and I'll miss his nutty antics.

Belgium would beat both of those sides.
You forget quality and pride. There is nothing like winning for your country. It may not always come across but in a tournament like a World Cup and when you are playing for your family, the heritage and the Anthem, my Lord that carries some weight.
No one came near him? He got the fucking shit kicked out of him. Elbowed in the face at least once.
For all the talk about his obvious cheating for the first goal, the fact that almost every time he got the ball, he was booted into the air and even clattered a few times when he didn’t have it, is never mentioned.
This it Mrs P ?
Yes, yes, that's all very impressive.....but could he do it on a wet November night in Stoke ?
Not a bad price, TBF. That shirt could do a better job than Janssen did, and he cost twice as much.
Good grief, that is awful.PICTURED

Football fans are saying the same thing after statue unveiled in tribute to Argentina legend Diego Maradona
FOOTBALL fans are all saying the same thing after a new statue of Diego Maradona was unveiled in Spain.
The dodgy design was revealed ahead of the COTIF final in the Spanish town of L'Alcudia.

Football officials posed with an attempt at Diego Maradona's likeness

The artwork didn't quite match the real thingCredit: AP
With Argentina's Under-20s in action, the country's FA president Claudio Tapia was in town to unveil the new Maradona tribute.
Tapia beamed as he posed for photos next to the work, designed by Spanish artist Rafa Ferri.
But fans have been quick to slate the artwork online, likening it from Sylvester Stallone to Bruce Lee.
One social media user wrote: "Have respect for Diego!"
While a second joked: "Oops Diego melted."
A third tweeted: "Hahahaha what is that."
And another questioned: "Nobody saw that lack of respect before presenting it?"
The statue drew comparisons with other botched works from down the years.
Madeira Airport infamously unveiled an awful statue of Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2017.
While a previous attempt at Maradona in Kolkata drew comparisons with Susan Boyle.
Manchester City erected a statue of Sergio Aguero outside Etihad Stadium at the end of the last season - only for Toni Kroos to mockingly point out that it looks more like him.
Lived down the road in Dulwich when she married Guy Ritchie.I’ve never been much of a fan. I recall “Like a Prayer” being ok, and then the Sex Book stage was alright, but since then… Nothing. Don’t know what all the fuss is about
Couldn't even get a game for Dulwich Hamlets...
Well overrated...
Or if Peter Shilton didn’t get out jumped by a fucking midget.
And no one ever looks to Shilton and says, You're a goalkeeper who stands at 6ft 1, who allowed yourself to be outjumped by a player who was 5ft 4!!!!!!!
One of the worst pieces of goalkeeping you will ever see.
I re-watched this game in its entirety a few months/1 year or so ago when it was screened on the tele. Oh my Gosh! We were utterly shit to a man, and genuinely looked and played like a pub team. I don't get the dialogue that surrounds it, we were thoroughly outplayed by a superior team. Hodge ahahahahaaha
I still love Poch's answer to the question " who would you rather in your team Messi or Maradona?
Poch - " Messi. Maradona is big and fat..."
Poch - " Messi. Maradona is big and fat..."
Still the best player I've ever seen in a Spurs shirt.
A genius with a football, dodgy as an individual.

Napoli had never won anything before him. That was the perfect place for him in terms of culture, both in a good way and in a bad one.
