You call it cheating what he did in 86 but your only world cup win in the 60s was won with a goal that never crossed the line talk about cheating, i would consider match fixing worse than a hand ball, go find the ref to call a cheat not maradona especially after the second goal he scored on you guys that counted as 3. I understand the hatred is so strong for DIEGO in England but really get over it your country will never produce anything besides robotic futbol players that all play the same. Imagine a player like Diego come out of england hmmmm?? exactly imagine because it will never happen. Go watch the 1990 world cup final and talk to me about cheating. Get over it ENGLAND!!!!

I don't get it. But maybe we are underestimating his contribution to Argentine society. Maybe he hasn't written good books or won Nobel prizes, but it's hard to think of anyone whose identity is as intertwined with that of his country. Pele may have been better, but there isn't this Pele driven euphoria in Brazil that exists full-time like you see over Diego in Argentina. And it's a little scary at how natural that picture you used looks.
