I'd gladly lose a little dignity if it meant scoring the most famous goal of all time as well as the goal many consider to be the greatest goal ever scored in the same game
Maradona is one of the 5 greatest players of all time and only an idiot would argue with that!
Originally posted by mtthwIn London people like him when he plays for England. At least that's my experience. If you doubt me, then open any popular newspaper whenever England is about to play and you'll see him being showered with praises. And we know how popular newspapers only write what people want to hear.
Most of them don't, no. He plays for Manchester United - that's enough. 🙂

On the other hand you lot seem to think it's ok to cheat.
This is the basic difference between the English and "the rest". 😏
Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveAbsolutely loads of players would do the same thing in his position if they knew they'd get away with it as the emotion involved in such an important match sometimes makes players do "anything" to win...I'll admit though his chaseing after the ref afterwards was disgusting!

Also even if he's a cheating b***ard, that doesn't mean you can overlook his obvious amazing talent
