Wrong.

I think Ronaldo and Messi are better than Maradona

Too bloody well and reminded frequently by a gloating Bitter

Another two for the boy wonder tonight. 76 goals in 59 appearances during 2012. Beats Pele's record of 75 goals in a calendar year with fifty days to spare

[Fredo]

He can score as much as he wants but he'll never be as good as Dieguito.

[Shaggy]

He will. He's better already.

He landed in Saudi yesterday. Great pic.

[Fredo]

He will. He's better already.

Well we can debate all night and I'll still disagree.

Maradona symbolised much more than what he was as a player. He had the hopes of a whole nation as well to carry, during the cold war, Falklands etc...

Added to his footballing genius.

And his performance enhancing drug taking.

[Fredo]

Maradona played for more than one club as well. He had way less stability in his life compared to Messi. He still achieved what he achieved.

Anyway, it's very hard to compare but let's just say that there's never gonna be a player comparable to Maradona ever.

[Fredo]

And his performance enhancing drug taking.

He was a coke addict. Not a cheat.

[Shaggy]

Don't care, Messi's far better. Most pros/ex pros agree. Souness agrees. His achievements are greater, better goalscorer, better creator, better pro, better player.

[Fredo]

If Souness says so then yeah no argument

[RichC]

Messi is the best player I've ever seen Maradonna was outrageously good there is no doubting that but IMO Messi is the more complete player.
