Poch - Deluded?

Also better than messi n ronaldo

He wasn't maradonna IMO, and because he took his eye off the ball (no pun intended) people forget how talented he was too

 

No love for the original Ronaldo... people forget just how good he was.

It was before my time but I'd consider Maradona the best for what he achieved in teams when not surrounded by superstars.

 

Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Beckenbauer.

Not necessarily in that order.

Matthew LeTissier was as talented as any of them, but as he chose loyalty over glory and consequently won **** all, he can't really be ranked alongside them.

 

why would you say he's better than Messi? There is nothing on this planet to suggest that

Magical and very likeable...won a World Cup too but I still see no way he is better than Messi

 

Or Cristiano Ronaldo either.

Ronaldinho was brilliant but only for a few years... these guys have been consistently been unbelievable for a decade.

 

Neither C Ronaldo nor Messi have ever been World Champions though.

 

Mate maradonna could do things with a ball messi wishes he could.

Apart from which maradonna alone would win you things

Messi is a great player but he isn't on maradonnas level

Dinho for a window was maradonna esque

 

Neither was Cruyff.

 

I thought you was talking about Ronaldinho!

Maradona I agree with.

 

Talking about Ronaldhino...I know Maradona, he's a Spurs fan

 

Yeah I added a bit

 

Prematurely hit send.

But its well known that dinho went after money over training in the end

 

Good point. I forget Holland didn't win that 1974 final.

 

Sorry mate but you made that too easy for me

I'd say Ronaldo has comfortably outperformed Messi at international level too, bearing in mind he's been in a worse team as well.

 

Probably. I'd say they're both outstanding players, the best of their generation - but as I'm an old git I'm not putting either up there alongside the iconic players of my youth.

Pele, Maradona, Cruyff and Beckenbauer weren't just match winners, they were game changers - football developed and moved forward because of their individual contributions.

If people are still talking about Ronaldo and Messi in 20, 30, or 40 years time, then maybe they can be ranked as highly - maybe..

 

Like I say it's before my time but if pushed I would always class Maradona as the greatest.

 

Glad we are making better use of this thread

 

I was devastated when he got caught for taking drugs in 94...but you could tell he was wired up to the eyeballs when he celebrated that goal against Greece

What a Playa

Plus he shot up some Journalists..what a geezer

 

Yeah that famous clip of him running up to camera... nutted

 

He wasn't a geezer mate. Don't romantacize it.

He was a drugged up **** who blew the gift he was born with.
