Re: Liverpool Thread
bad sportsmanship? Where are you from, i supose England, if any of english players saved your team of elimination with handball, you would celebrate the fact it isn´t over... at that split second you don´t think of sportsmanship mate.. it´s instinct.
No, I am not from England.. I doubt any Englishmen would use Maradona as avatar... Yes it is bad sportsmanship, and it's irrelevant whether I would celebrate or not because it's still bad sportsmanship. I, at least, have enough humility to call a spade a spade. I am a true descendant of the Vikings, the original ones from the vik, the Oslofjord in Norway. A proud people who, despite popular belief, were mainly traders that traveled the world at a very early date historically speaking. (correct history lesson of the day)
Suarez is a crazy player but that´s why he is loved and hated at same time.. He playes for my club and i admire him as fantastic talent that i honestly didn´t saw yet in red shirt such unpredictable striker.. but at the same time i can understand why oposite teams follow him and try to find something on him while other players similar actions are left unnoticable perhaps..
He would be very easy to antagonize because he has a very hot temper and he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. He makes many bad choices, which results in him not getting penalties he sometimes should have. I call it poetic justice...
i don´t think he is stupid to be honest, just passionate and hates losing that´s all. he gives his all except maybe brains sometimes, but it´s sport and it´s refs buisiness to stop him..he isn´t the only player who playes dirty sometimes...
I never said he was the only one, but he is a high profile player with a vile personality, at least on the pitch. I believe I also said "fair enough" after describing some of the things he has done, which clearly indicates that the things I actually do hold against him is the dirty tricks, the spitting, the stomping, the bad acting.. well that basically covers it.
if he played for Tottenham you would love him that´s all. I doubt you wouldn´t.
Well, you're in no position to say that with any certainty, really. Do I strike you as a big hypocrite, or just a really honest and reflected person? I was not a very big fan of Neil Ruddock, even when he sported the right colours...
..Maradona was a drug addict as well you know
Although not really comparable or relevant, I will dignify this low blow with an answer. Yes he was a cocaine addict, and for many years as well. He was the best player in the world despite taking performance reducing drugs, imagine that?
Maradona was a fantastically gifted player in all aspects of football, but I admire him for his incomparable offensive football intellect. He's clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed socially, but his football intellect is unmatched. Even semi injured, overweight and without stamina he had the ability to make his team better through shear intelligent passing and assists. Maradona is probably one of the least professional successful athletes in the history of modern football, he lacked sportsmanship on a few occasions and he even played dirty in his youth. The latter exemplified in the 1982 WC against Brazil. However, he overcame his temper, his poor judgment and his lack of intelligence and became the most brilliant footballer of all time. Messis' impressive records considered, he will never become the "new Maradona". Messi is Messi, which is impressive enough in his own right.
