Bears 0 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Maradona is still the greatest. Everyone who is saying its Messi is only say that because its the 'now' and thats all they have seen. However Messi has the ability to take that title away from Maradona but Id say he has to do more at international level first. Maradona would be the best on the park whether is was in Spain, Italy, Argentina leagues or internationals. I do predict Argentina will win the world cup in Brazil and Messi will be the star at the age of 26. Thats exactly the age Maradona was in 86' and that was 4 years after he had a pour WC in 82 which Messi also did in 2010. I think "you must do it at international level" is long gone. It's the champions league that matters now, not the World cup. Personally i don;t think Maradonna could lace Pele's boots, and Messi is better than Pele. I know there is the "now" factor, but still, the game is harder now, you need to have more skill 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 745 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think "you must do it at international level" is long gone. It's the champions league that matters now, not the World cup. Not for me. Spain have stood up at international level in the last 2 tournaments. You see premier league players doing it the CL but when it comes to internation level they struggle (for England anyway). Its just that the CL has bought over the World Cup so with money and general interest the CL is now the glamour competition. And when Maradona, Pele and Co were playing THE world stage was the WC and not so much the european cup....Liverpool dominated the old European cup but none of their players would make the best 20 of all time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said it yourself mate, the CL is the glamour stage, the CL is far harder to win than the WC 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
