Argentinian opinions changing about the GOAT?
by Harmonica Mon Dec 26, 2011 7:55 pm
ArgentinaFW Daniel Colasimone
After Bianchi said that Messi is the best in history, Olé has been running a poll. 105,000 have voted, and so far 55% have agreed.

Essentially, that's 55% who think Messi is a better player than Maradona. In Argentina. Never thought I'd see the day.

Let's revisit these polls when Messi flops (yet again) in the next WC.

Why? He could score a hattrick in the final and you would still find a way to discredit him.

Argentines and Argentina fans I know don't put Messi on the same level as Maradona due to the obvious NT success and underdog Napoli status compared to big time Barcelona that Messi plays in.
Apart from Maradona not playing in a 2 horse league.

Well firstly Messi doesn't flop in WC's, and secondly you don't need to win WC to be better than someone, it's all about individual performances:Seppuku wrote:Let's revisit these polls when Messi flops (yet again) in the next WC.

Maradona will always be higher than Messi in Argentina because he won the WC.

Pretty much. Maradona is old news now. Over here, people rate C. Ronaldo over Figo or Eusébio. I'm surprised Maradona had so many votes.

Trolls gonna troll, non credit givers not ginna give credit where it's due 
Messi earned every one of those votes, stop trying to discredit them by saying its because you think maradona is being "forgotten"

I'm not discrediting Messi. I'm only saying what's obvious. People vote for the hero of their generation. Messi is obviously a great player. I gave the example of Ronaldo and Eusebio. The latter achieved much more, but is nowadays behind in votes. I bet a large majority of the people who voted didn't even watch Maradona playing.
I'm not even saying Maradona > Messi, I'm just saying the result of the voting was obvious before it even started.

Who do you rate more LM, or Maradona, Messi? (kinda obvious, but still like to know).
Barrilete's opinion would also be welcomed, or any native Argentine who would know more about Argentines than we do.

Maradona won a WC, there is nothing that can compare to putting a star on my beloved Albiceleste kit. Maradona ATM, messi if he can continue a fraction of his recent success for the next 2-3 years.Sushi Master wrote:Who do you rate more LM, or Maradona, Messi? (kinda obvious, but still like to know).

Pretty strange result, because Maradona's a national hero who gave his country a World Cup. Messi hasn't done that yet.

Is it even a debatable issue?
Maradona by far is the best indivually and a bigger national hero, apart from winning with Barca (which I am sure any poster in here would have won the same if he played for Barca) the guy has done nothing, an assist againg Nigeria and wawa land and suddenly he is not a NT flop.
