    Says Maradona much better, Beckenbauer and Cruyff also better. Messi has only one skill, weak headers, shoots with only one leg.

    Would agree Maradona was much better, no question about that. Didn't see enough of Cruyff, Beckenbauer or Pelé, but all experts say Pelé was even better than Maradona.

    I think Messi would find it difficult to adapt to the field quality and rough player during Maradona's time. Maybe he would adapt over time but I think Maradona would find it much easier to adapt to the modern game

    To me their games are fairly comparable... to suggest that Messi can only shoot with one foot is to ignore statistics that show he has scored 1/8th of all his goals with his less dominant foot. It also ignores the fact that he normally can get a shot off with his dominant foot whenever he wants to - and so there is no need to penalize him for having less goals to his credit with his off-foot.

    Drug use is the one thing that prevented Maradona from truly and fully reaching the pinnacle of his potential.
