He's got away with everything he's ever done...
Why do officials persist in protecting the cheating, salad dodging, Fray Bentos munching, one-footed, fat bar steward?
1986 will never be forgotton.
In my opinion he is the greatest footballer to have ever lived..

He's a hero in Argentina because he's their greatest ever player in their national sport, and he won them the world cup.
He's a hero in Scotland because he once cheated against your next-door neighbours, and knocked them out of a competition they weren't going to win anyway.
Have you any idea how tragic that sounds? You must be seriously short of national heroes.

Get your facts right...the ball DID cross the line in 1966, and even if it hadn't te English players weren't trying to cheat, it would have been a mistake on the linesman's/referee's part.
There was a motor camera placed in line with the goal line, this shows conclusively that the ball did not wholly cross the line, thus the referee was wrong. At the end of the match an expectant joyous crowd started to come on the pitch, yet the referee had not blown the whistle: “they think it’s all over”, remarked BBC commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme, as Bobby Moore sped an accurate pass upfield to Geoff Hurst; “it is now!”, continued Wolstenholme as Moore’s pass was smashed into the German net by Hurst.
two evidences of blatant cheating! the Angles have nothing on Maradona, we shall now add hypocrisy and defamation of character to the megalomania which characterises their self delusion!

I'd also like to point out that one of those 'defenders' was Terry Fenwick...a player (who in my opinion) was one of the luckiest blokes on the planet to make a living from playing professional football...
As far as the 'greatest footballer that ever lived' - as you say, that's your opinion.

I think it's a sad state of affairs however, when someone would rather sledgehammer someone elses achievements rather than praise their own...

Originally posted by blade68If you shall term murder, greed , rape, pillage, unlawful entry, massacre and the killing of innocent people as an achievement, well yes, and this brings me to another point, you people have lost that which once made you noble, your manners and sense of fair play. Now your house is abandoned to you and you're country a cultural vacuum! what have you to say for yourself.
