Maybe in Trentino-Alto Adige they don't like him, but most, hell ALL, the ones I know and talked to love him.
Probably because they all watched him play, though.

Probably because they were all too young to remember '90. You are aware of the fact that he's not allowed to enter italian soil, right? At least not without going to jail that is.

Maradona > Lippi

So true and so sad.

Maradona's pinky toe > any player that ever played or will ever play for italy

No way, Maradona is a midget.

Here's Yakubu's miss.

 

[juventus1897]

Don't get me wrong, Maradona is/was the greatest player to ever play the game. Doesn't change the fact that he's a complete asshole.

Maradona >>>>>> everyone in football.

Italy isn't. Hell, Belgium were screwed over too. But Italy had it pretty bad. The game was purchased in some way. You have to ask: cui bono? And you can still see how reaching the semifinals opened up an entire market for FIFA.

They had already accomplished that by holding in the World Cup in Asia.

A midget that has more football knowledge in his dick than every Italian coach and player has in the brain and the legs.

Epic miss but he was offside.

OMG that is the most ridiculous statement I've heard yet. You should talk to some people about Maradona next time you're in italy.

I know plenty Italians who love Diego though.. Then again I know lots of people from Napoli.

Player maybe, but it's too early to call him a great coach.

They all LOVE him. Only those who didn't watch him might not like him.
And those bloody northerners might say otherwise.

Yeah that would explain it. They still worship him there. Makes sense, too.

So you're ok with blatant match fixing in the world cup? It doesn't matter how many world cups the victim has won its wrong and for the integrity of the sport it should disgust all football fans no matter where their allegiances lie. And I'm not just complaining about Italy getting knocked out, the Spain match pissed me off just as much.

An incident like the Italy - Korea match has no place in any World cup tournament no matter what teams it involves.

When the World Cup becomes guilty of match fixing then I will be against it. And if it's been fixed, if the outcome is already decided, then why do you watch Kyle? You of all people.

I think the World Cup has some bad practices when selecting referees.

Look at the guy from the US - Slovenia match. He was horrible in the African Cup, so why is he in the World Cup?

Well the true italians are the northerners, so...

Besides, who cares what your croat-italians think of him

Not quite. Guess where the footy fans are most fanatic now?

But I don't think the flag went up so it would have counted.
