Sneaky bum time - Vaccination status: dozed off
Not his biggest fan, far from it, but a huge loss for the beautiful game.
Amazing that he wracked up such financial debt given he's been living in their head rent free for almost 35 years.
Tell me what it says about me. Give me an in depth opinion based on one line of text in a forum.That says more about you than it does about him.
Oh grow up. To paraphrase one of your earlier posts:
'The world feels a bit empty today.'
If you are seriously going to get so emotional over somebody who doesn't even know you even exist and most likely didn't spend any time thinking about the day before you died then you need to get a grip on yourself.
And he would have been off the pitch too.Yeah they said this morning that today VAR would have disallowed the goal and England would have had eight players on the pitch.
No one is calling him a paragon of virtue so give it a restTell me what it says about me. Give me an in depth opinion based on one line of text in a forum.
I have never drug binged, cheated at work or cheated in my personal life, so am not going to pretend I hold him as some kind of saint because he could kick a football. If however, that is what you hold as an example of a human being, then does that not say a lot about you too?
Yeah because none of our favorite players ever fell easily in and around the box that eventually resulted in a goal. Diego is the only footballer who ever got a goal by cheating.For that handball I presume, yet nobody mentions the officials that apparently didn't notice it.
Wonder if Joe Jordan or Thierry Henry will get the same treatment when they go to the big football pitch in the sky.Yeah because none of our favorite players ever fell easily in and around the box that eventually resulted in a goal. Diego is the only footballer who ever got a goal by cheating.
When a mod tells me to give it a rest because of something I post, I will listen.No one is calling him a paragon of virtue so give it a rest
exactly, I, as an argentinian and a maradona fan, i'm very well impressed by the response that the world has given to his demiseIt's happened in this very thread mate - the tabloids are highly adept at reflecting an ugly vision back at the people who most want to see it, which is generally that everything is a war and someone is always to blame. Anyway, the majority can see it for what it actually is, the passing of a football genius whose life story is inextricably bound up in our own.

I pretty soon found out I wouldn't become Maradona but it didn't stop me from going out and having as much fun as I could playing for years after. Love the guy and just thinking about my youth and watching Maradona just gives me the chills. Absolutely love the guy.I'll add to that. I was 14 and didn't particularly like playing football before Mexico 86. That changed straight away and since then I've played football nearly every week for the last 34 years (thankfully no injuries). It's all because of him.
The same game in which Linekar tried it and it didn’t go in?For that handball I presume, yet nobody mentions the officials that apparently didn't notice it.

Yup. Unforgivable as some nuts put it.Wonder if Joe Jordan or Thierry Henry will get the same treatment when they go to the big football pitch in the sky.
As I'm Irish, I should probably be more annoyed by it but I honestly don't think I'm all that bothered by Thierry's skullduggery anymore. When his name comes up it's not something that springs to mind.Wonder if Joe Jordan or Thierry Henry will get the same treatment when they go to the big football pitch in the sky.
As I am English, neither of the incidents means a thing to me.I honestly don't think I'm all that bothered by Thierry's skullduggery anymore. When his name comes up it's not something that springs to mind.
Asking me to decode your words (before telling me more than I actually wanted to know anyway), suggests you think you're some unknowable enigma - the lone voice of reason. And not just yet another petty, joyless troll who desperately wants to be noticed.Tell me what it says about me. Give me an in depth opinion based on one line of text in a forum.

Jesus
I won't lie, after the English media kept going on and on about the handball for years and even decades I often wondered if England really had the mental capacity to ever win anything again. They came close in Euro 96 but not that close. And I am not at all surprised we haven't won anything and probably won't in my lifetime.The same game in which Linekar tried it and it didn’t go in?
Really? I don't really care about Henry's handball and would never hold one moment like that against when discussing Henry and the joy he brought everyone but it is the very first thing that comes to mind when I see Henry being mentioned and is probably his most famous moment in football, granted infamous.As I'm Irish, I should probably be more annoyed by it but I honestly don't think I'm all that bothered by Thierry's skullduggery anymore. When his name comes up it's not something that springs to mind.
Oh no. Bet he wouldn't have done it if he knew you would never forgive him.Someone losing their life is always a sad occasion, but I will never, ever forgive him.
Penalty shootout away from facing Maradona again, this time in the final in 1990.I won't lie, after the English media kept going on and on about the handball for years and even decades I often wondered if England really had the mental capacity to ever win anything again. They came close in Euro 96 but not that close. And I am not at all surprised we haven't won anything and probably won't in my lifetime.
You could say Maradona broke England, but he didn't really. England broke England.
So much true. I still get shocked when I see classic games on Eurosport from 1980'ish competitions: players could basically almost break their opponents legs and not even a yellow card was shownAnd as mentioned many times the tackling was close to GBH.
In the 1982 world cup against Italy. Gentili fouled Maradona 22 times and was booked once. That says it all.
Jesus! When I see those trainig facilities it makes laugh when I see nowadays footballers whine about lack of proper training and rest.Indeed. That footage from Kapadia's film of him training with Napoli on that horrendous, muddy pitch, is unbelievable.

I was a (relatively mediocre) football players on youth football back in the days, and I still remember playing on thin gravel fields (yes, believe or not, they were allowed back in the days). Whenever it rained you just needed to go to the ground to become a human walking giant bruiseYeah, for instance Azteca pitch wasnt in the best shape, yet he still scored that goal vs England like there was nothing to it.
I remember footballs back from 25 odd years ago. Not proper ones they used for professional football but black and white ones you could buy. They were like a medicine ball in hindsight.I was a (relatively mediocre) football players on youth football back in the days, and I still remember playing on thin gravel fields (yes, believe or not, they were allowed back in the days).

Not to mention the official match balls back on the days: they felt heavy, tough, if you get one of those right in the face there were big chances you would pass out, and not to mention that when the ball got soaked with rain few were the players with enough courage to head a long ball before it bounced on the ground at least once .
Yeah, his toughness and low centre of gravity would make him unplayable at times. Well I suppose we can see it in Messi.Imagine him on today’s pitches with the minimal contact that’s allowed today.
