I didn't realise that Argentina was such a 'hot topic' during the Euro Championships... are they playing in that?
After watching todays games Spanish attacking players can certainly rival any team in the world...

Argentina have a multitude of attacking players to pick from. look at the likes of Messi, Aguero, Tevez, Crespo, Lavezzi, Higuain and the list goes on and on. but why do they fail against brazil? can anyone answer that question for me?
Mark my words.

Maradona could only kick with one foot
Now, why would that be? Because Maradona scored two of the best goals ever made against them? Yup. More than likely.

I read an article in an Irish newspaper a couple of months ago, in which some unknown footballer called Pele was saying that Maradona could never be considered a great footballer for exactly the reasons I stated...
Also, what are these 2 goals you mention?
The fact is that although his 2nd against us in '86 could be considered decent, he would never have scored that if he hadn't already gained the 'upper hand' and psychological edge by cheating for the 1st goal.

Maradonna could play great football, for sure, but he was a pain in the neck too. All that diving and crying for murder when someone lifted his toe. Nasty attitude.
And that high kick against some brazilian at some WC (86?) was outrageous.
To me that places him lower in rank than Pele, Cruyff, Bergkamp.
