Originally posted by Rooney Once a BlueI've only ever heard people referring to the "next Maradona" when talking about Argentinian footballers (Artega, Messi, Aguero etc). Where it obviously makes more sense than referring to Pele.
Everyone says "who will be the next Maradonna"
Not "Who will be the next Pele".
