Absolutely love the knee to the jaw.... perfect timing from Diego. Genius.

This forum must really hate this guy. I mean only 5 pages

 

[yagami7gnr]

He was also the best at free kicks!

No he wan't. There are too many players that are/were better than him.

Recent Messi nutmegs reminded me of these:





Great channel btw, with rare footage from his Argentinos Juniors days. I recommend the Skills #3 vid in particular: 3 mins of sombreros and another 3 mins of roll over fakes (Idk what it's actually called in English... just watch it!)

Jammin you're an absolute LEGEND for sharing these.

This is GOLD

Once again.... a big big thank you.

Somebody just posted a pic of Diego in a football group.... within 10 minutes the comments were flowing in against him from old englishmen who still feel bitter. Quality admins as they banned 4 of em straightaway lol.

 

[Massaro94]

This is what Diego had to put up with.



Nevermind eh... revenge was sweet in 86... and even sweeter in 1990

Woah I would do the same! Always had this sneaky feeling that I am the reincarnation of Maradona

Australiano could you explain why Zico and Romario are better than Diego?

Zico had all the odds in his favor to win the world cup but failed to lead a team full of all time greats (like Falcao, Toninho, Socrates, Junior, etc...) to success. Maradona not only lifted the cup but he did it with a team that entirely lacked all-time great talent. None of Maradona's teammates were included in the All-Star Team of 1986 whereas Zico's teammates Luizinho, Junior, and Falcao were included in the All-Star Team of 1982.

in matters of football
zico did for flamengo what maradona did for argentina(in only 7 games).
zico was important part of that team of brasil in 82.. the brain of the team was falcao.. so i dont think zico failed as you said.. he conducted flamengo in 1981 through america and through the world.. they beat liverpool 3x0 in the finals.
flamengo is what it is thanx to zico.. is the team with more supporters millions and millions follow flamengo until today even the team been all messed up..

i personal matters.. zico have builted several football schools for the kids in brasil.. romario is a congressman(this doesnt make him a better person.. but still) while maradona is just a drug addict comunist.. followed for a bunch of presumptions people(argentine are.. i live in the boarder with argentina i know them very well)

im not gonna even talk about the handgoal in 1986 against england or the drug in the water in 1990 against brasil, lets just enjoy the 0:14 of this video


and weep with this one

Quality clip of Diego playing futsal. Keep it on the deck



Here is a longer version of the same clip.

 

[Massaro94]

La Habana, Cuba, il pibe de oro Diego Armando Maradona ospite da un personaggio che non ha bisogno di presentazioni: Fidel Castro. L'incontro (riguardante questa immagine visto che ce ne sono stati anche altri) se non andiamo errati ? avvenuto nel 2005, ma se in caso ci fossimo sbagliati con le date smentiteci pure.
Tra i due c'? comunque un'amicizia di vecchia data. Una foto che va oltre le idee politiche, o la fede calcistica, due mondi che si incontrano, due che in maniera diversa rimarranno per sempre nella storia anche tra un secolo.

Diego's fabulous free kick goal against Juve (1985)

I gotta ask... what lead to the free kick being given inside the area ? .... the only thing I could think of was a back pass whoch the GK picked up... but even those were allowed in the 80's

Per gli amici calciofili ultratrentenni, quante volte avete ascoltato commenti tipo "ma chi sei Zico? - "ma chi sei Maradona?" dopo un bel gesto tecnico in una delle tante partite da ragazzini che si facevano nei campetti dei nostri quartieri/paesi, negli oratori, per strada o sulle spiagge?. Ovunque abbiamo messo in campo la nostra passione e l'amore per il calcio e siamo cresciuti di pari passo con i nostri idoli. Gi? perch? tornando ai primi anni ottanta, il giocatore piu' rappresentativo di tutto il pianeta era certamente Arthur Antunes Coimbra ZICO fuoriclasse della Nazionale Brasiliana e leggenda del Flamengo. Le sue fantastiche giocate, i suoi meravigliosi calci di punizione pennellati dal Maracan? facevano il giro del mondo, ed arrivavano anche da noi in Italia. Certo all'epoca non c'era internet, non c'erano le tv a pagamento, ma chi voleva documentarsi sapeva come fare. Poi Zico arrivo' in Italia, ad Udine nel 1983, e la Zico-Mania si estese in generale. L'anno successivo il Napoli acquisto un giovane argentino di cui si parlava un gran bene, a Barcellona aveva fatto vedere le sue qualita' ma ancora non si era consacrato al calcio mondiale. Siamo quindi quasi nella seconda meta' degli anni ottanta e Diego Armando Maradona era in procinto di scrivere la storia del calcio e di proclamarsi come il piu' grande al mondo. Ma quello che vogliamo dire ? che ZICO e MARADONA hanno segnato un'epoca. In questa foto c'? il calcio: Brasile vs Argentina, grande classica, una delle sfide piu' belle emozionanti spettacolari e sentite, Zico e Diego i due numeri 10 della STORIA, che posano insieme indossando romantiche casacche di un calcio ormai estinto in una stupenda immagine in bianco e nero. Le parole sono superflue, questo ? uno scatto da annali del calcio, da mettere in un libro senza didascalie o racconti, parla da s?.
O GALINHO e EL PIBE de ORO... BELLEZZA, POESIA, STORIA.
