claro?What about Maradona is as objectionable as diving? Is it the Hand of God? Cause a lot of players have cheated in similar ways, and that was over twenty years ago.

I'll be honest the whole hand of god thing is a big reason people hate him. To be unapologetic and a braggart, that is why he is a cunt.

You'll have to ask someone who dislikes Maradona about that. I was just attempting to explain why people (Ben, in particular) might take joy in his firing. Because he is controversial. Like players that (allegedly) cheat and dive. My response got fucked up by the page break.

Is this really all that confusing or are you just attempting to troll the thread a little?I was confused but this post clarifies it. Thank you.

I guess I just don't get why people think he's a cunt.

Personally, I think he's hilarious.

Agreed...

Personally, I think he's hilarious.Me too. And the greatest player ever. And he's real. There's a reason he's a messiah in two cities on opposite ends of the earth.

Football needs villains. He's a character in this play that we all love so much. When you're watching Star Wars, do you really hate Darth Vader?

I dunno if he was a "self-centered asshole" or not; I never met the guy in person - only by reputation. One thing I saw was the tape showing him hugging each & every player - wow, that looks like a player's coach to me, maybe not others.

Yeah, he's a nutter, first class. And as for narcissitic, sure he has lots of examples of grandiose behavior & statements. But, Ben, I gotta wonder why there's a wiff of joy from you and others at his being sacked....

There's no wiff, I'm glad his who's been knocked down. In his first interview after Argentina's loss he chose to talk about if he would return as coach. That's an asshole and a narcissist. The tournament wasn't for him, it was for the players.

Prior to the cup I was glad he got the job and did well. After watching him throughout the cup I was simply turned off by his ego. He's a dick. Glad he's been fired.

After reading the thread I just realized some of you are trying to say I have some love of England or English football or something. Hand of God? Who gives a fuck?

You're fucking stupid.

That feels better.

Best player ever is subjective. I firmly believe he was not.

He was one of the best during a really great period but like a lot of them he burned himself out. It's really hard to compare anyone to Pelé though. Not enough film exists from his era to win a YouTube war on the subject.

Just because he doesn't realiZe some words use a "z" instead of an "s" doesn't mean he's an anglophile. It just means that he'z a doofus.

Now that's funny....

I don't hate him, but I don't have any real liking for him either. On the one hand he was very supportive of his players, but on the other hand he wasn't really a coach, and it never seemed like he cared to be one. And yes some of his statements were very narcissistic, and lets face it he is a very egotistical jerk.

That being said, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I definitely ain't gettin in the way of those stones ....

damn, i never knew joliet and argentina were beefin.
