First superstar Athlete I got introduced too. I remember my Dad in Sierra Leone had a video off him in the 86 WC. Completely blew me away, couldn't believe what I was watching at 5. Hated when they lost to West Germany in 90. RIP Maradona

Damn! Homie was my favorite player growing up. "Ti bosal" or "The little bully" as some of us used to refer to him. GOAT status no doubt.
Man i feel for anyone who never saw Diego in his prime. shyt was a marvelous sight to behold. I grew up in a country where soccer is KING (Haiti) but i was always more into volleyball and basketball. Despite that if Argentina is playing ...I'd be like fukk volleyball and basketball. It's a football day for me. He was the reason i ever got into and played soccer in school. Some of us used to refer to him as "ti bosal" which means "the little bully". The way he would terrorize defenses cutting through them with power and control despite his size. RIP to the GOAT.
Never was a fan of him but I always admit he was top 3 greatest of all time Till this day I’ve never seen a player like him,pele, Ronaldo(Brazilian)
That perfomance in WC 86' will never be forgotten. The best perfomance i seen from a player, easily. RIP GOAT
This one hit really but really hard! D10S is kn his way to meet Dios today! R.I.P. to the goat person and goat player! If anybody wants to see and learn more about Diego, I strongly recommend "Maradona by Kusturica". It shows all his flaws, all his errors all his ups and downs and how he became a God. Descansa en Paz, Mago!
I'm saying Maradona is one of the biggest athletes sports has ever seen....he's damn near a religious figure in Argentina considered one of the GOAT in the world's biggest and most beautiful game c'mon @Barnett114 @TradePascalSiakam @CHICAGO anyway RIP to Maradona...game is a little less beautiful today
And remember the "hand of God" goal vs the England team was during the height of the war between England and Argentina during the Falkland Islands conflict. So that shyt was inspirational to that country and many others in many ways being against a world super power like England.
Damn near? In Argentina he has his own Church, the Church of la Maradonina and he is revereed as a Saint and in Napoli to this day if you talk shyt about him you'll more than likely get shot. Watch that docu I said. It gets spooky when a 7 y.o. bare feet child talks about all the things he will do and later on did! This man was the best Footballer ever without even training, literally playing for fun. If he had a professional life there are no limits to his talent.
