Like i said, obviously too young to appreciate the great man, do you know of the players in the Brazillian national team from the 50's and 60's, apart from Garrincha , maybe the rest were mediocre
Maradona playing with donkeys eh ?, mmmm, Batista,Burruchga,Passarella,Ardilles, Kempes, Canigga all world class i'm afraid.
Now there's another comment for your delectation.

Yes , Garrincha is the best brazilian player

And , Coutinho , Zinho , Tostao , Bebeto , Dunga , Rivaldo , Romario , Ronaldinho and others!

There can be only one "Best" and his name was George...

i agree ^^^

as phil lynott said at the end of "black rose"
..."that georgie knows best"

i was privilieged enough to see him play once...1971 at the hawthorns - wba won 4-3, bestie scored and the united lineup that day included charlton, kidd, morgan, stepney and crerand....

Never saw him play in a competitive game. Went to my first Norn Iron game in 1978 (age 11) but George played his last game the year before, against Holland. But I did go to his testimonial, which was the usual friendly kickabout. Always felt a bit cheated that I'd just missed an era of greats. Never saw Pele, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Charlton, Best etc., and in later years, because NI was never that good, never saw Maradonna, Zidane etc. Mind you, we did beat England who had Beckham & Rooney and Spain, who put this team out:

Spain: Casillas, Sergio Ramos (Salgado 45), Puyol, Pablo, Antonio Lopez, Albelda (Fabregas 29), Xavi, Alonso, Torres (Luis Garcia 63), Villa, Raul.
Subs Not Used: Reina, Marchena, Reyes, Iniesta.

Can also remember beating West Germany back in 1984. The Germans out this team out:

Schumacher, Kaltz, Stielike, Strack, Förster, Briegel, Littbarski, Schuster, Allofs, Matthäus, Rummenigge
Subs: Engels, Völler

Bloody hell!

I usually don't like the crazy argentinian cult on themselves , but on a totally serious note, Maradona is hands down (haha) way better than Pelé or Messi.


Pele had an awesome team back then. brazilians have been always good at football. Its like messi in barcelona, with a good team, an A class player can do wonders.

Maradona handed himself a word cup to argentina when they weren't a thing at all (lets remember "HOW" they won the 78 world cup. with the peruvian and military "help").

Maradona was able to win a match by himself while being injured constantly by the opposite defenders.

i guess almost the whole world loves freddie mercury nowadays, so this isn't so strange of course. especially not if you think about that "the messiah" of fotboll plays in barcelona, he must have heard mercury sing the song about that city a couple of times...ANd isn't we are the champions, the most played victory song in football, at least since the seventies...

interestingly a song from the classical realm, was the most played fotboll anthem in a survey made by the performing right society 2008. puccini's nessun dorma took up 20 % of the playing time of fotball songs, the five years before 2008.

so if you look for the best fotball hymns, ask for puccini or mercury, they're on top of this game...
