RIP the Argentinian Messi.

He dragged two ordinary teams to glory. That sets him apart from the likes of Pele and Messi, imo. Ronaldo did it with one team.

Sad news. One of, if not the, greatest footballers of all time. I understood a lot more about him after seeing this excellent documentary.

You learn three things from all those words. Maradona takes the ball on the right. He scores. The match score is now 2-0.

He's ruined my night as well, never seen the docu, got no interest but when geri gets back from work (who saw it at pics and loved it) i'm going to be forced to. He ruins yet another english night.

Is that the feature length one that came out a few years ago? Even people who don’t like football have told me is a great watch.

It only came out last year
Yeah, I don't like football and thought it was fascinating. The stuff about Napoli had completely passed me by. It's a classic tale of meteoric rise and massive, crashing fall.

Good article here, must check out that doc:

Child genius Diego Maradona became the fulfilment of a prophecy | Jonathan Wilson
Blessed with sublime talent developed in the slums of Buenos Aires, cabecito negra went on to become everything that defined Argentina’s football principles

It's the one by Asif Kapadia and yes, I've been told by people who don't like football that they thought it was great.

No dialogue. Just plot.

Goikoetxea was a disgusting player who reveled in doing career ending injuries. He was a prick.

It was... Rebekah Vardy's account
Never realised Boris was such a fan.
Hmm I'm not sure if the documentary did say that. It was Maradona's excuse.
I liked the way that the doc doesn't pull it's punches or try to excuse his behaviour, but it's still sympathetic to him - very hard to do well.

Undoubtedly one of the best ever but to play devil's advocate here I wouldn't have him in an All-Time XI. He was brilliant but the teams (and let's not forget he had to have DECENT players around him at least, and Argentina in 1986 had some very good players) he played with were all set up around him. He was the main man, the creative outlet, and everyone's job was to serve him. I don't think he'd fare so well in a team of other brilliant players. After all he didn't win the league at Barca, didn't come close.
not anymore.
Probably didn’t it’s what I remember though but I don’t get out much.

How come no interest? I also loved it.

I don't know why tbh. I don't care about his life, i don't care about napoli, i just don't care - even if there's an interesting story, i have many other interesting stories i could crack on with. It may just be the reverse of people who say i don't like football but found this interesting. To me, it ends with him on the pitch - and he was beyond amazing. Not the slightest inclination to learn anymore. Sounds weird now i say it.
