The best to ever play, never afraid, always willing to sacrifice
Gracias Diego
This photo is from the 1979 Youth World Cup, Argentina vs Algeria in the knockout stage
Argentina destroyed us 5-0 , and we did beat a good Spanish side in the group stage
After the match, Algerian players said that they y couldn't see the ball because Diego was such a magician lmao
The war was obviously a very big deal.
But argentina, south americans in general were furious after 1966 where we all got robbed and england cheated to their only victory, to this day I read english players calling Maradona a cheat, none of them say about their shady ass 66 world cup that prompted the invention of yellow cards because of the dirtiness of portugal and england. (Not to mention ing over the entire african federation, rescheduling games mid tournament to favor england, and beating germany with a goal that never went in)
Nobody has any sympathy for england, and to quote Maradona himself, "he who steals from a thief, has a hundred years of forgiveness"
In one of his last interviews he said he dreamt of doing it to them again, using his right hand
One of the few athletes I can say I was fortunate to see him play in my lifetime, tbh...
I remember that thief quote
That's how it becomes personal, Michael Jordan, take note
I kept 3 copies of L'equipe sport newspaper at home: WCs 98 and 18 and a special edition dedicated to Diego.
Would have loved to see him play for Marseille.. shame this transfert never happened
Maradona and OM, a match made in heaven
Yes if there are two teams made for him it's Napoli and Marseille tbh.. two gangsters ports with crazy fans in love for football
Nah, some of the games will be in Columbia and Brazil are comfortably the better team. Would be nice to win it for Diego though.
you Nono, I'm running out of clean pants
I was in Napoli for the liverpool Napoli CL match and everywhere you went they still had maradona stuff everywhere. Like he was born Italian and a national hero. Amazing
that was so crazy that a part of Napoli was rooting for Diego vs. Italy during the 1990 WC...
Big time. Did you see that HBO Maradona do entary? glossed over some things but it was a solid watch, tbh:

In every game , you see those huge ass Maradona flags, he is a deity there
1990 WC was amazing in term of story lines:
- Knockout game between Netherlands and Germany in San Siro - Milan's big 3 vs Inter's big 3
- Argentina vs Italy in Napoli
This could have been Kiwi in Toronto
