[Delle Alpi]

That's what I said to him, but he meant the playing style

I hope you slapped him and called him a fool then.

 

[Delle Alpi]

He is around 40 years old, so I couldn't slap him or call him a fool, but I had to forgive him since he is one of those that watch football only for one month every 4 years

And only watching football every four years is forgivable?

Those are the people who think Grosso is great.

Those are the people who think Grosso is great.

The reception Grosso got when he came over with Juve during may in Canada was huge. People were going crazy for him.
Eventhough Del piero still got the biggest reception

And only watching football every four years is forgivable?

I kicked him out of the room after his comment, and didn't allow him to watch the match with the rest of the guys in office. That's the most I could have done, eventhough I wanted to bunch him for his many idiotic comments during matches

 

[icemaη]

It's just the baldness.

Zidane's baldness is waaaaay better than Robben's...

 

[V]

Fred, Deneb...I honestly don't have much else to say to add to my case, so I'll just add this; Anywhere else when I said Zizou is the greatest, I either recieved acknowledging nods or undecided shakes. This is the first time my statement was considered blasphemous.

But since it's you two, I'll keep in mind to raise the question more carefully from now on. arty:

 

[bianconero]

actually maradona not only made napoli a big club he also put serie A in the top league map imo

I think you are mistaking America for the rest of the World.

I know that in Europe Italian football was already popular long, long before Diego went there. Probably due to the fact that cross boarder competition was so keenly felt in the European trophies on offer, as well as cross boarder holidays.

Exactly,crediting Maradona for putting the Italian leagu on the map is pure blasphemy. Remember the 60's Milan and Inter and certain slang called "la dolce vita".

please reread carefully what i wrote, we re not talking italian football per se, we re talking serie A and its following.

 

[David01]

I can honestly say I never have seen Maradona play in a Napoli shirt (apart maybe from highlights) and yet I have been a Juve fan since the eighties
and I don't think I'm the only one
it's really stupid to say that one man generates such an interest in a league
Diego was a great player but so was Platini before him
Romario and Ronaldo both played for PSV, did that turn them into the most popular European team? not even in Holland
it takes a lot more to make a league the most popular
serie A was the league were all the best players wanted to go to and now this is England or Spain
Diego was just one of them

 

[JCK]

So now Maradona is taking credit for international television coverage?

Will he soon take credit for inventing the telephone?

Got to say I disagree. Perhaps more people watched it, but it was already quite popular.

You are one of a few I do read carefully, and I find you are wrong. In a world without the TV blanket coverage we accept for the norm today, the Italian league was followed by those watching there home trams playing in Europe. To say that one player raised it's profile is possible, to say they created that interst in plainly wrong.

Again I write, maybe that is the case in America, but it was not in Europe.

 

[Gheorghe Hagi]

Hagi, Zidane, Cruyff, Baggio the best players ever. These players will show their class under any circumstances. Unlike the so called two best Messi and C. Ronaldo who were nothing good but wiping the floor in world cup.

 

[Azzurri7]

Just because you're Romanian doesn't mean Hagi is the best player. He can't be on par with Zidane or Baggio.

 

[bianconero]

Gheorghe Hagi : The Maradona of the Carpathians.

A truely wonderful player: Yes better than any around at the moment.
