Never set well with me that his most famous play was dishonest ... and him gloating about it.
He was a bad guy in so many ways. That overshadows his soccer playing, imo.

Like it or not certain people will always be given a pass for bad behaviour be it because they are beautiful,talented or charming in one way or another
When thinking of Maradona the vast majority of people will remember what he did on the football field first and foremost so your statement about his bad behaviour overshadowing his wonderful and highly successful football career is simply not true.

I think every people is different, so what you can think or feel about Maradona is different what other people can feel or think. And every different feeling is valid.
Like I said in my previous post is what I feel and think about him, and what I feel is that all the bad behavior of Maradona with his life, with his family, with his daughters, with all his kids he had all around the world and did not recognized, all of this eclipsed all his magic in the soccers field.
Note that I am from Argentina and I enjoyed Maradona in the 1986 and 1990 world cups but my feelings are my feelings and I can not change them.

The Greatest of them all. My team in Italy since 30 years is Napoli and they were the last club to play at my home team's ground before it was demolished.
Yesterday early afternoon I played Modern Times by Bob Dylan. Then suddenly at around 14.30 CET I experienced such a strange, melancholic, shall I say morbid feeling. So I decided to play I'm Outta Time by Oasis. Then I went to work.
17.30, 3 hours later, I receive a phone call from South America, the missus's brother, and he tells me Diego has croaked.
San Paolo, Napoli's home ground is from today renamed Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. I hope the number 10 shirt is forever removed in football.
LIVE FOREVER DIEGO

Hi,
Im from Argentina and would like just to add another point of view of Diego Maradona becouse I think or I feel that people are criyng somebody like Churchill.
Diego Armando Maradona was and incredible soccer player, one of the best of the times, but was only a soccer player, like a person he was and ass..le, he spend more than the half of his life beeing a cocaine addict, when he finally quit cocaine he start with alcohol. He support dictators like Fidel Castro in Cuba, he also support Chavez in Venezuela, then Maduro.

regarding what I think about the Stones and their use of cocaine, heroine, alcohol, etc I can not approve that.
I admire them as the rock musicians they are, the music they gave us, they are still alive, they know how to be millionaires at the end of their long lives, so they are very very inteligents in the way they run this compañy named Rolling Stones. They are family guys, Keith Richards has and adorable family, Mick the same (bigger than Keith one).
Maradona was the opposite, he wasted almost all his money, he destroyed his family, he end up selling himself to dictators for money, dictators that turns a rich country like Venezuela into one of the most poors countrys in the world.
Sorry fos having any respect for Maradona, even been from Argentina.
Bye

I don't know...it seems that Kusturica wanted to make more a documentary about himself than about Maradona. I like Asif Kapadia's much better.
I will skip to comment all those posts about Diego Maradona's morality. let me just add that I am from Naples. I was around when he was the captain of our team. Here we all know very well who the guy really was. And, like it or not, he was simply an hero (mind you: an hero, not a saint; very much like for all of us in this board Keith Richards is).
