The only reason why Maradonna is considered a legend is because he brought Argentina a World Cup in 1986. I consider Mario Kempes more of a legend than Maradonna. Where was Maradonna in the 1990 Final? How about in 1994? Oh wait, he was scoring coke, that legend.

Good players don't score more than 60 goals in less than 100 games for your national team, including 15 goals in 19 games in three World Cups. He's won a lot of silverware in his club career and also individually (World Player of the Year three times).

Yeah he's overweight, yeah he left Inter on bad terms (when did you start caring about how Inter felt?), but he sure does score a lot. And last I checked, legends all had their vices (George Best and alcohol, Maradonna and alcohol/drugs, Ronaldo and partying).
the difference is that brazil are a team of superstars and ronaldo is not brazil maradona lead argentina

Ronaldo is, along with Zidane the greatest player of the last decade. That makes him a legend in my book. Comparisons with Pele, Maradonna can't be made as a great player can only be judged in the era he played.

Messi though is insanely talented and potentially one of the greatest players of the next decade, no question.

end of the day to me maradona was the greatest footballer that ever lived, as we said he lead argentina and was proven in europe unlike pele who never went to europe

I know this is not a good idea but I've decided to post latest Cappleo interview here. I've bolded two thing first one I think we all know and second is some kind of solution for arguing about Mess and Maradona

http://www.goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=285063

Messi And Barcelona

Almost inevitably, the discussion shifted to Lionel Messi's wonder goal, with the press wanting to know what the Madrid coach thought about it.

"It was extraordinary and I am glad such a young player has done something so beautiful," he responded.

"His goal has gone around the globe, helping promote good football. I'm very happy for him. I have always liked him."

Capello's interest in the Argentine is indeed no secret. In fact, he had even asked Rijkaard for a loan deal in August 2005, when Juventus and Barcelona had met at the Camp Nou in the annual Joan Gamper trophy clash. Messi had just put in a sizzling dispaly, prompting Capello to pop the question on the touchline itself. Needless to say, Rijkaard politely refused.

An enthusiastic journalist asked if the Italian thought a Real Madrid player was capable of that.

"We can't compare Messi to Maradona or anyone else," replied Capello evasively. "Each player has his own qualities. Messi is a fast and technical player capable of pulling off things like that."

And here is rumour about Almirion it seem it's already done bussines.

Almiron Feels "Ready For Juventus"

Empoli midfielder Sergio Almiron spoke about an imminent transfer to a big club.


At Empoli, over the past three years, he has come to be known known for the contrast between his professional and personal life: a leader and an enterprising figure on the pitch and in the dressing room, and surprisingly quiet away from football.

Empoli got used to him, but also knew they would have to part with him some time soon.

That is the destiny of players who, like him, are "bred" by their (usually small) clubs only to be sold to bigger ones. The player gets his shot at fame, and the club the financial rewards.

In Almiron's case, it was as much about a promise he made to his father when he first arrived in Italy, at Udinese during Roy Hodgson's reign.

"I promised my dad that I would work hard to join a big team as quickly as possible," he had revealed.

Inter Milan wanted him last summer, but Mr. Almiron advised him otherwise: "Wait, stay another year at Empoli to complete your maturing process, and you will get a chance to prove your worth again, and you will be even more ready by then."

He followed his father's advice, and has now reportedly told soem close friends: "I'm finally ready for a big team like Juventus.

"I always dreamed of joining a big club, but all the while I still gave my all for Empoli and its fans."

It is highly likely that his promise will be coloured in black and white... at Juventus!

I hope he's ready for Juve too...I also hope he does more than get rid of the ball as soon a she gets it and get a decent shot on the net once in a while.

Verón wasn't really world class playing for Sampdoria either, but it was at Lazio that he took the final step. I am confident that Almirón will be a great player for Juve.

    why cudnt we just sign lucho god damn it! i wonder if gonzalo rodriguez is a possible target? if theres 1 argentine defender i like - its him
    Gonzala is excelent, definitely now is the time to go for him! Villareal isn't playing CL now, they're having bad season [because of Juan he gave the team a spirit, without him look at them, 5-6 chances for goal in mach. Unaceptable!], and not many clubs are after him like last season whole +/-Europe was chasing him

    I really like Almiron. He is like Veron: cut passes and create game, love that.
    Yeah, not just with his frizure! Nearly identical...

    I hope he's ready for Juve too...I also hope he does more than get rid of the ball as soon a she gets it and get a decent shot on the net once in a while.
    Well pall all you're hopes are true! He isn't getting rid of the ball imideately like Emerson did in the past [but El Puma was a excelent destroyer, I may just say perfect!] but he pretend to keep it an YET he isn't selfish to drag the ball just with him, for the shots, I'll let the goals to speak! Look at the goal agains Lazio, the keeper didnt saw the ball! :D He's terific FK taker, we have plenty of them but the "screamers" outside the area CAN be very useful caz of his position, like Pirlo for example, but he isn't half good as Pirlo when we're comparing the shots.
    In smallest hand I'll say he's little Gerrard only Stevie is outrages in everything he does! I'm not complaing if Frings does comes, he's not a worker as much as Almiron but he's more creative. Like this we would have decent midfielders in the center. But everyone forget about Sissoko. I'll go for him over Frings anytime, considering we already have creativity in Nedved & Mauro, and our lovely DP!
    Let Juventus's Almiron
    be like Lazio's Veron
