What a goaaal! Messi's Maradona-esque Goal

[Biff]

Maradona's was better....but its still a ****ing fantastic goal!

We have been linked with him.

shock tribal, per chance?

This throws the whole Rooney thing into a different light. I've got a running argument with a lad in work going in which he claims ****ing FIZZ is the worlds best player. I simply can't believe anybody can honestly think this. He's a great player yes. But he's simply nowhere near this kid. Not even close!

[Mumsafan]

Different type of player though aren't they

i reckon one day he will come out on top, but not yet http://www.dailymotion.com/related/2...ona-vs-messi/1

Who's Fizz? That fat ginger bird in Corrie?

[Laz]

A bit greedy though wasn't it?

best goal ive seen in a long, long time.

Strange that Messi didn't really show anything of note against us over two legs - I know he wasn't long back from injury at that time, but still...

[Diego]

A few contenders:

think it's on par with a couple of ronaldo goals, but both of them beat Henry's goal, hands down...

ditto - will i ever get my pace back after my cruciate injury i wonder. if so i could be back scoring goals like that again.

Note: This was done at an extremely low level but perhaps not quite as low a fredos

Wasn't kidding though.

Side by side comparison of both goals...

That's some spooky **** right there!!!


The beautiful game at it's best

[Parm]

Unreal. ****ing unreal.

Almost an EXACT replica of Maradona' goal against England in '86.

I think that's one of, if not the, best goal I've ever seen.

What a goal.

****. ****ing hell...

they've got a compairison of the diego goal with the messi goal on that site, the movements are alomsot identical. Wow

I'd agree with that. For me, Ronaldo is the third of the top 3 players to grace the game over the last 50 or so years (Maradona and Pele being the others). He was truly phenomenal in his first 8 or so years on the world stage. Pace, power, acceleration, strength, skill and finishing ability, second to none. He had it all. He used to blow me away and that cameo vid just sums it up. unbelievable stuff.

It's a damn shame he let himself go a bit or i think he would have been the very best player EVER for a long long time.

The word i use to describe him is 'EXPLOSIVE'
