whether or not Diego will be a good manager, he definitely knows how to work hard and get himself back in shape. Back in 94 his transformation was incredible. The hgh issue was BS.
Great post. Maradona looked amazing playing in world cup 94. I really think they could have gone far if he hadnt been banned.
They had a stronger squad than 86 and 90.
Its odd but that 1994 world cup had some very strong teams full of stars arguably with 1998 the strongest talent display of any world cup in my living memory and thats without France and England taking part!
Germany were defending champs and much stronger than they are now, Holland, Nigeria, Brazil and Italy were bristling with young talented teams. Argentina , Romania , Croatia and Bulgaria were strong .But it always goes down in europe as the naffest world cup cos it was held in america all the way from diana ross's penalty kick to the penalties shoot out to decide matters and the souless american stadiums.
FIFA and the US didn't plan it out right. The final should not have been in Pasadena. Plain and simple. Should have been in NY, even though it would mean Italy would have a home game.
Whether or not Maradona is the head coach still, a South American team is in line to win the next WC 2010 in ZAF. I don't see it going to Brazil, as much as I like some of their players. The discipline has dropped like a ton of bricks, seeing fat Adriano, fat Ronaldinho, mopey Robinho, and overrated goaltenders. Argentina on the other hand has a ton of talent and a lot of hunger. Been a long time.
Yea, well we'll see because Argentina played Scotland today and we know how shitty Scotland is they haven't had a good team since '78 in Argentina and we won 1-0 when in the first 20 mins of the first half it looked like we were going to kick their ass but like usual we were conformed with the 1 goal. Maradona will need to do alot to make sure we play better because we might have alot of good players but that hunger seems to be lacking in some of them. I feel winning the Olympics made some players not as hungry as they should be and thats a cheap tourney. Although I will admit some players are hungry and it's been over 20 years since we won a WC so maybe its our time. I can only hope and wait until 2010 but first things is first we need to qualify which we haven't yet.
On a side note, anyone hear that bullshit Cristiano Ronaldo was saying about he deserves to become the best player in the World and that he has done everything to deserve it, BULLSHIT this kid thinks he is the best and he simply ain't the best.
Ronaldo is currently the best. Some may want to say Messi, but Messi hasn't proven himself. In fact, he's likely to see Eto'o prove himself first.
On the other hand, Maradona had some great words for the scottish manager. The scot manager said he refused to shake maradona's hand, because of the hand of god. Maradona said he didn't want to shake the scot's hand anyways, and that England didn't really win the '66 WC, because the ball didn't cross the line. Great retort. He's going to earn some respect from the upper management for that one.
Yea I heard what he said and it made me smile and laugh I also when you say Ronaldo is the best player in the world. Wasabi I know your not in High school so you should know better than some kiddies who love Ronaldo and think he is the shit
Ronaldo was the best player as far as FIFA was concerned. He proved it by his goal scoring ability. If Messi wants to, I'm sure he can prove it the same way. Both players are on team with other accomplished goal scorers. Both play the same areas of the field. Both have been in the champions league. Both are homos. But Messi always comes up a bit short. Whether to Kaka' or Ronaldo.
Ronaldo may be a homo but Messi, what makes you think he is ghey Wasabi? Ronaldo on the other hand has proven he is gay.

Successful or not, it's going to be interesting.
Now Diego can show his players the holy secrets of the Hand of God...
