Messi: No Mas

[Canyonero]

DAF implied that the myth of Maradona was unjustified. Not trying to say he was/is a good person, but IMO he was a genius for football.

I was answering your comparison of winning a Liga today with a random team vs winning a Scudetto back then.

you niccas are making maradona seem like a superhero

Milan had Van Basten, Gullit, Baresi, Maldini and Rijkaard. Juve had Platini and several players from the '82 WC champion team.

Still doesnt mean Napole wasnt stacked, you dont win cups by making 14 goals per tournament, dont you agree?

Played 21 WC games, scored only 8 goals...

You talking about CA '87? That was played in Argentina son.

, I mixed it up with '97.... my bad, tbh...

The fact that nobody thought that '86 team could win it all before the cup is what made the legend even bigger, tbh... I remember not only we struggled to qualify, on the friendly games we played before the cup, the team sucked ass...

Nobody gave 2 dimes for that team before the cup. Not only that, but the ARG federation dropped the ball organizing things even during the cup. It's well known the team didn't have shirts to play the quarterfinals game against England. They had to send somebody to buy a set of shirts in Mexico and then do the stamping.

That team did much more than win the World Cup too, they basically built the Ezeiza complex the NT uses now, paid for with money from the champs playing friendlies after the Cup. None of that existed before them.

I don't understand the hate for Bilardo or Diego (don't get the hate for Messi either, tbh)... you could hate their personalities, etc, but they really worked hard for the country and delivered.

Also lets not forget Diego beat a team of German genetically engineered Steroid infested terminators tbqh

Diego

[hater]

Also lets not forget Diego has one of the best folk songs made in his name ole ole ole ole diegooo diegooo


Does the midget have a folk song of his own besides the theme for the fellowship of the ring?

I'm not sure I'm following you on this one... Maradona received his share of critics during his career and even after even more than Pele imo (only Pele criticism is about his 1,000 goals, the rest is not very much discussed)

As for Napoly... Team was terrible before his arrival, first year team finished middle of the ranking, second year top 3. he won in his third year with some help for sure like Carnevale but still roster is full of italians and not comparable to for instance Juve with Platini/Laudrup or Milan. Milan that will be champ the year after with Napoli losing only 6 games with a collapse at the end (3 losses in a row). So early Napoli was not stacked by any means compared to other italian powerhouses. Maradona transformed an horrible team into a powerhouse got one le and finished 3 times top 3 with an average team.

Then they started to get some great guys like alemao like Zola like Careca and won 90 with yes a pretty stacked team but Maradona scored a record 16 goals this season also not like he coattaled

All the Italians teams were full of Italians back then. Only 3 international per teams were allowed. Among those 3 Internationals Napoly had 2 Brazilian stars and one of to best players ever. Plus some Italian internationals to add. They were stacked as .
