You are not impressed by a player that who almost single handedly guides his team to a world cup? thats a pity. but you were impressed by Luca Toni's 30 or so goals in the bundesliga last season right. lmfao
Ok, wait a minute. I know you get all sensible when it comes to footy so im gonna be polite:
I said impressed by his achievemnts, meaning the titles he has won. Sure there are other players who have won more than he did. This says nothing about him being a great football player or not, but thats not what i denied with my statement anyway.
I cant remember having said that i was impressed by Toni scoring 24 (not 30) goals in his first season.
Single handedly? Dont know about that. I havent seen the world cup in 86.
I know you are a Maradona hater because you have made negative comments about him before. How can you not be impressed by a player who scoops the ball over a defenders head and lashes it in to roof of the net before it hits the ground again. Look at him when he was dribbling with the ball. he never looks at the ball. He is always scanning whats ahead to make the pass or run nealry the length of the field and score like he did against England in a world cup quarter final against a pretty good team.It isnt just his achievements either. It is how he played the game and his performances in big matches.
Let me clear up something: Of course im impressed by the football player Diego Armando Maradona. Anyone who is not, is a fool. And again, i never said im not impressed by him as a player.
Oh wait guys what are we saying, Muller and Beckenbaur are the greatest
Usually when it comes to the debate of who was the best ever, four names are brought up: Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Beckenbauer.
Do you see something? Right, three of them are offensive players and Beckenbauer is the only one who isnt. That alone shows what an outstanding guy he was, as a player. - And no, im not saying he is the best ever.
What about the Bayern Munich legend Stefan Effenburg? Did he not have a "moronic character" as well?
No?
What about the diver Jurgen Klinsmann
Yeah, what about him? Im interested to hear it...
or the german goalkeeper, Harold Schumacher who nearly killed a french forward on the pitch.
none of them had moronic characters had they?
Comparing them to Maradona (character/personality wise) is moronic in itself.
In fact, Maradona's drug addiction and erratic behavior (obviously related to his cocaine addiction) endears him to me more because it shows that the guy was just human.
No shit, the guy way human? God help you if you needed his drug addiction to realise it.
Edit: What an ownage.
Edit 2: Kinda funny, some hours ago i watched a show about the 25 best players ever. It was voted by german people and therefore some german players were listed. Still, i expected Pele to come in first, but he was only on third place. Second was Beckenbauer....and first, yeah, Maradona.
One of the people they interviewed was Rudi Völler. And when it came to Maradona he said: "The best ever? Of course, Maradona, no doubt about that! Or what do you think, eh? - Ronaldinho, ha, im laughing my ass off. Did you see what Maradona could do with the ball? Did you see that? C'mon, hes the best!!!"
