Re: RIP Diego Maradona

This guy is the games real GOAT.
There is a lot debate raging about Messi and Ronaldo.
Facts are, Maradona put teams on his back and carried them to glory at a time when the game was simply much tougher to play. Defenders and defenses could actually defend and Maradona took the equivalent of us (Napoli) under Mick Malthouse, and made them Champions of Italy twice.
He was and is the GOAT at a time when his peers couldnt do what he did.
RIP. Colorful character and no doubt his lifestyle is what resulted in his demise at aged 60 from a heart attack, but that goes with the territory.
110% They. I am not a huge fan of the round ball game but I am a lover of sport and admire greatness. When I think of D.A. Maradona, the word sublime stands out the most, he made a soccer ball talk. As for his off field prowess and shenanigans, he crammed into 60 year what would probably take you (respectfully) and I 3 or 4 lifetimes.
