Did Maradona used to disappear in world cup games like Messi does sometimes?

[Nick Young]

I never seen Maradona play live. Did he used to disappear in world cup games like Messi does sometimes?

Maradona just poked it thru everybody. dude had best first step in soccer history.

not gonna dog Messi tho, even today. the way he controls it at mid and they crowd him and then he distributes, really hard to dog that. even if the numbers aren't there.

but yeah overall Maradona was alot more visible it seems.

[alenleomessi]

messi did not disappear today.. he was very active.. didnt play well but did not disappear in any way..

you know who did though? your boy hazard.

[Sakkreth]

When Messi "disappears" he's still like one of the most valuable players in the game. The other team needs to prepare specifically for Messi and swarm him with defenders whenever he touches the ball, and use more resources than for other players to keep an eye on him when he's off-ball. You are clueless.

[Nowitness]

He just cheated to win.

Damn swaggy p you sound super jelly right now man.



Don't hate on greatness. After all Messi is Kobe's boy.

86 Maradonna was the GOAT WC performance I've ever seen.

Actually, it was the first WC I really paid attention to, I was a kid during Spain 82 and vaguely remember Paolo Rossi going off for Italy but no player has topped what Diego did in Mexico since then.

yeah to me Maradona > Pele even tho i've only seen clips of Pele

he was just so dominating that World Cup dribbling thru everybody. I even have mad respect for his hand of God. that kind of stuff impresses me if you can get away with it more than something legal.

Damn you old
I'm 42, that's considered old in a forum populated by snot nosed teens.

[deja vu]

Messi is a genius but Maradona was God-like.

[ArbitraryWater]

Messi really stat-padded in a shit group to now disappear through the first 2 K.O games with his team still winning :oldlol:

Very Durant vs Grizzlies like.. Netherlands gon' whoop that ass

[ArbitraryWater]

Messi didn't even have a better season than Neymar or Valdez with Barcelona :facepalm

He was their 3rd most important figure

This isn't some bullshit, you had Barcelona fans mad at Messi throughout the whole year... Of course american peeps who never cared like moe wouldn't know shit
