I would say pound for pound (no pun intended), Maradona is probably the best footballer ever to have played the game.

Nah, I think the clearly deserved to win this game and honestly the Iceland game as well even if they we far from brilliant in either.

Not sure France have really been any better so far, at least the Argies have scored some decent goals.

As an aside, trying to think how many youth team products have actually played in the World Cup? Sansom, Southgate, Moses...

I can’t help but think that if Zaha appeared like that one day as a 55 year old man, we’d all be saying how great it is.

Kind of sad of course that he (Maradona) will almost certainly be dead in 10 years if he continues like that, but I don’t think he gives a ****.

I can't help quite liking him, but I've always had a soft spot for people who couldn't really give a shit. For example Hurricane Higgins was a childhood hero of mine but in truth a massive arsehole.

Maradona does have some credit in the bank from being vehemently anti-FIFA for many years, including sticking up for Bolivia when FIFA tried to force them not to play home games at altitude and sucking it up when Bolivia then tonked Maradona's Argentina 5-0 in a WC qualifier. I also thought he was surprisingly dignified in defeat when coaching Argentina to a 4-1 quarterfinal loss against Germany in 2010.

But I can perfectly understand why many people find him utterly distasteful. Unfair to compare him to Cantona though, who is not only an arsehole but a pretentious arsehole to boot. I don't think Maradona has any pretension about him, there is no act.

On another note I would highly recommend a piece by Jorge Valdano on the Guardian website which sets out his views on the decline of Argentinian football. It is a coruscating read.

Gram for gram surely?

I agree by the way.
