Maradona is one of the 5 greatest players of all time and only an idiot would argue with that!

In London people like him when he plays for England. At least that's my experience. If you doubt me, then open any popular newspaper whenever England is about to play and you'll see him being showered with praises. And we know how popular newspapers only write what people want to hear.

This is where we differ. Anyone who cheats so disgustingly in the biggest tournament around [and gets away with it due to incompetent officials] is immediately relegated to a non-entity status as far as I'm concerned.
On the other hand you lot seem to think it's ok to cheat.
This is the basic difference between the English and "the rest". 😏

Absolutely loads of players would do the same thing in his position if they knew they'd get away with it as the emotion involved in such an important match sometimes makes players do "anything" to win...I'll admit though his chaseing after the ref afterwards was disgusting!
Also even if he's a cheating b***ard, that doesn't mean you can overlook his obvious amazing talent
