Maradona, Pele or Messi? It's the eternal debate. Who is the greatest footballer of all time? According to The Soccer 100, The Athletic's new book ranking football's hundred greatest players, the answer is Messi. But the North London based contributor Amy Lawrence cast a dissenting vote: she chose Pelé, deferring to those who witnessed the Brazilian king's dominance firsthand. The book's official ranking places Maradona second, Pelé third, then Cruyff, Ronaldo, and Di Stefano. But the list reveals something more interesting than rankings: the impossibility of comparing eras. How do we judge players like Alfredo Di Stefano or Ferenc Puskas we've only seen in grainy footage against those, like Messi or Ronaldo, whose every touch has been televised? And why do great footballers like Diego Maradona —masters of intelligence on the pitch—sometimes become such flawed and tragic figures off it?1. The Pelé Problem: Why Nostalgia Matters Amy Lawrence voted for Pelé as number one, even though The Athletic's collective ranking placed Messi first. Her reasoning? “When I grew up, when you spoke to people who were older than you, there wasn't a debate. Pelé was the best.” She deferred to those who witnessed him live—a rare admission that nostalgia might actually be wisdom, not sentimentality.2. Maradona's Genius Was Inseparable from His Madness Lawrence describes Maradona as playing “with a madness...there was something of the kind of intense creative artist about him.” He was a street footballer thrust into Italian mafia management, hacked and kicked because defenders “couldn't stop him by playing football.” His 1986 World Cup remains the most dominant individual performance in history—but his life became the cautionary tale of what happens when raw genius meets extreme celebrity.3. Cruyff Was the Anti-Ronaldo Johan Cruyff “encouraged everybody to think instead of just watch”—a philosopher-footballer who “was a bit of a rebel” and famously skipped the 1978 World Cup (possibly because his wife didn't trust him with the ladies). Contrast that with Cristiano Ronaldo, whom Lawrence describes as “built by design”—the AI-generated footballer, all machine, no poetry. If Ronaldo represents modern football's corporate efficiency, Cruyff embodied its lost intellectual soul.4. Women Journalists Don't Play the Gender Card—But Maybe They Should Lawrence, possibly the only woman among the ten journalists who compiled The Soccer 100, says she “never played the women's card” when arguing for players. But she admits that being a woman in a male-dominated field made her “just a bit more memorable” and perhaps allowed for “a slightly more sensitive line of questioning” that helped players relax. It's a fascinating tension: rejecting gender as relevant while acknowledging its subtle advantages.5. The Impossibility of Comparing Eras Makes These Lists Meaningless—and Essential How do you compare Di Stefano (whom most people have only seen in grainy footage) with Messi (whose entire career has been televised)? Or account for the fact that modern players rack up goals against Lithuania and Andorra, while older players “never got able to pick up goals playing against” minnows? Lawrence acknowledges “there was never any pretense that this was some kind of definitive list”—yet we need these lists anyway, because they force us to articulate what we value in greatness itself.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Limerick musician Fergal Nash talks to Live 95's Anne Marie Geraghty about his latest single inspired by Diego Maradona. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cinque anni fa i giornalisti argentini non riuscivano a pronunciare quella parola che nessuno voleva sentire. Tutti i programmi televisivi si preparavano a quel momento come se quella triste notizia riguardasse un amico, un fratello o un papà. Diego stava male, era stato operato al cervello pochi giorni prima e, inspiegabilmente, dimesso per continuare la sua degenza, senza nessuna cura particolare, in una casa che si trovava in una città vicina a Buenos Aires. La notizia funesta arriva il 25 novembre dell'anno 2020: Diego Maradona è morto.Ma quale Maradona è morto quel mezzogiorno di 5 anni fa? È morto il campione o è morto l'amico? È morto chi meglio rappresentava quello che gli argentini chiamano l'essere nazionale, o è morta una divinità laica? È morto un uomo pieno d'ombre o è morto l'uomo che ha fatto illuminare di più i sorrisi del popolo argentino?

I 2009 d'imir Shannon Rovers sa chraobh chontae do pheil tar éis a bhí Carrick Swans caite amach as an chraobhchomórtas.

Bhí siad an chéad ghrúpa chun é a dhéanamh gan conradh taifeadta. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Diego Maradona san Airgintín I 1960 agus rugadh aisteoir Matthew Morrison I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1978 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

Diego Maradona was more than a soccer player — he was an emotion. From the dirt streets of Villa Fiorito to the roar of Naples, from the glory of Mexico '86 to the heartbreak of scandal and exile, this is the story of the most human genius the sport has ever known. In this special edition of Atlanta Soccer Flashback, Jason Longshore traces Maradona's life through its triumphs and turmoil — the boy who played barefoot in Buenos Aires, the man who lifted Argentina and Napoli to immortality, and the legend who reminded us all that “La pelota no se mancha” — the ball does not get stained. It's a story of faith, fire, and forgiveness — the beautiful chaos of Diego Armando Maradona.

Fandi Ahmad is more than just a footballer; has been described as a national legend in Singapore. He was the first Singaporean footballer to play in Europe, the first Singaporean millionaire sportsperson and the first Singaporean sportsperson to have a published biography. As a young child, his family lived in a two-room public housing flat, Fandi was obsessed with football and spent much of his time kicking a ball. He became arguably Asia's best known footballer. He's shared the pitch with Diego Maradona, and was picked to play for Dutch football giant Ajax - an offer he subsequently turned down. Fandi's Muslim faith is central to his life. He avoids scandals, does not smoke or drink, and has been described as humble, filial, and compassionate. In this extended edition of Weekend One on One, he talks to SBS's Christopher Tan

The newest installment of ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 series is the three-part documentary Berlusconi: Condemned to Win, which tells the story of Silvio Berlusconi, one of the most significant and controversial figures in Italian history over the last three decades.Serving as Italy's prime minister over three different stints, Berlusconi first rose to prominence as a business and media tycoon who owned one of the country's most storied football clubs, A.C. Milan. As he turned the team into arguably the world's most successful club, he used its victories to fuel his own popularity — ultimately propelling him to the highest political office in the land. Yet as the film reveals, Berlusconi's ascent raised troubling questions about how sport can mask corruption and provide a pathway to power with consequences far beyond the game.Berlusconi: Condemned to Win was directed by documentary filmmaker Sam Blair (Maradona ‘86, Make Us Dream, Ronnie O'Sullivan: The Edge of Everything). A graduate of the UK's National Film and Television School, Blair made his debut with the feature, Personal Best, and later directed Maradona '86, an ESPN 30 for 30, about Diego Maradona's legendary performance at the 1986 World Cup. Sam also directed the feature documentary Keep Quiet which premiered in the International Competition at the Tribeca Film Festival as well as the first episode of Captive, a Netflix original documentary series, executive produced by Simon Chinn and Doug Liman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

El día que murió Diego Maradona, Argentina lloró… pero algunos se asustaron en silencio. Lo que se anunció como un paro cardíaco pronto se transformó en una trama oscura de negligencia, dinero y traiciones. Médicos, enfermeros y hasta viejos amigos quedaron bajo sospecha. Cada audiencia del juicio destapa nuevos secretos, y cada secreto hace más difícil saber en quién confiar. Hoy no vamos a hablar de la historia de Maradona  de sus goles, hazañas y polémicas, si no del capítulo más obscuro en su biografía: su muerte. 

Part 2 covers Maradona’s fiery Barcelona years, from his world-record transfer and dazzling goals to brutal clashes with Athletic Bilbao, including the infamous “Butcher of Bilbao” tackle that broke his ankle, a violent Copa del Rey final brawl, and the off-field chaos that pushed him toward his Napoli move.

« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es », c'est notre série d'été sur RFI, à la découverte ou la redécouverte de ces jeux populaires qui sont au cœur de nos cultures et de nos identités. Aujourd'hui, direction l'Argentine, pour une plongée dans un jeu de cartes, le truco qui n'a rien à envier au football dans le panthéon des passions nationales. Le truco peut se jouer seul ou en équipe. Le principe est simple : remporter le plus de plis en maniant ruse et stratégie… Le truco, une passion argentine. De notre correspondant à Buenos Aires,  « Ça va ? Je suis Gabriel, je viens du nord de Buenos Aires, j'ai 48 ans et je suis là pour participer au tournoi de Truco avec mes amis ! ». Un dimanche soir à Buenos Aires… Véritable institution ouverte en 1912, le café San Bernardo résonne du brouhaha habituel occasionné par les amateurs de ping-pong et de billard… Dans un recoin, huit tables, six joueurs par table, des jeunes, des moins jeunes, surtout des hommes. Et sur les tables, la bière, les verres, un petit carnet, et les cartes… « On a perdu de quatre points ! Ça ne s'est pas bien passé, on a manqué d'un tout petit peu de chance… Mais bon, le "truco" (prononcé Trouko) c'est l'amitié, l'argentinité, et passer un bon moment… c'est comme ça que je le vois ». Authentique passion argentine, le truco se joue pourtant avec des cartes dites espagnoles numérotées de une à douze, et sur lesquelles figurent le bâton, le denier, la coupe et l'épée… « Ce sont les Espagnols qui l'ont apporté, mais les vieux Gauchos ont adapté les règles pour se l'approprier et en faire un jeu plus autochtone, plus national, plus à nous ! Dans chaque maison, toutes les familles ont un jeu de cartes pour jouer au Truco… ». Impossible pour Gabriel de se souvenir du moment où il a appris à jouer : « Mon père m'emmenait aux réunions avec ses amis, ils se retrouvaient pour jouer. Et toute la nuit, c'étaient les rires, les embrassades, les blagues. Alors moi, tout petit, je me suis dit : je veux apprendre ça. Du coup, c'est comme continuer une tradition — une tradition familiale, mais aussi nationale ». Les règles du truco dans une main, un stylo dans l'autre pour noter les scores, Romina se glisse parmi les joueurs. Passionnée par les jeux, c'est elle qui organise le tournoi : « Quand on est petit, on joue, et puis on grandit, et tout à coup, on est censé être sérieux ». Maintenant, tu es adulte et tu n'as plus le droit de jouer, mais pourquoi ? Pourquoi tu ne pourrais plus jouer parce que tu es grand ? Alors ce bar, un peu, c'est ça. L'idée, c'est de jouer. C'est l'essence même ». Ce que Romina aime par-dessus tout, ce sont les rencontres improbables suscitées par le truco : « Dans certains tournois, il arrive souvent qu'il y ait un vendeur d'avocats qui joue peut-être avec le propriétaire d'une marque de vêtements. Et dans le jeu, ils sont tous égaux, tu vois ? Ce sont des choses qui n'arrivent peut-être que dans ce genre de situations… Et puis, avec tout ce qu'on vit aujourd'hui, surtout sur le plan politique, jouer un peu, ça te déconnecte de la réalité ». Dans l'arrière-salle d'un gymnase qu'il administre dans cette banlieue de Buenos Aires, José a fondé en 2015 rien de moins que l'association argentine de truco pour répondre à un problème majeur : « Le pays est très grand, et le truco n'avait pas de règlement unifié. Chacun jouait avec ses propres règles, et ça posait souvent des problèmes : "Non, non, moi, je joue comme ça. Moi, je ne joue pas comme ça". On a fait un règlement et on s'est dit : "Bon, et maintenant, qu'est-ce qu'on fait ?" ». Sur les murs, des affiches à la gloire de Diego Maradona et Léo Messi… En Argentine, football et truco vont de pair, au point que le premier pourrait même redorer l'image du second : « L'équipe nationale a gagné la Coupe du monde. Et eux, ils jouaient au Truco tous les jours pendant le mondial. Ce sont des super-héros pour n'importe quel Argentin. Alors c'est comme s'il y avait eu un renouveau, un regain du truco. Oui, oui. Maintenant, je vois que les jeunes y jouent, tout le monde y joue. Le truco a fait son grand retour, tu vois ? On était en train de l'oublier, et d'un coup, c'est la fureur totale ». Et demain le truco pourrait même s'exporter. La série argentine à succès El Eternauta diffusée au printemps s'ouvre sur une scène de truco, tant et si bien que José a été contacté par des fans au Japon qui souhaiteraient en apprendre les règles.

In 1987, Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona was on top of the world. He'd just handed his nation a World Cup, and his club side Napoli its first league title in over 60 years. But Maradona's hard-partying lifestyle and underworld friends would soon take their toll - and before long, the world's greatest sportsman was in a tangled web of vice, drugs and match-fixing that would haunt him until his dying days.

Carlos Tevez is a player often overlooked when reminiscing about the greatest South Americans to play in the Premier League. But why? When he was at his peak, he devastated defences with trickery, Argentinian toughness, and goals that won his clubs countless trophies. His ex-teammate Wayne Rooney told us that Tevez “was his favourite strike partner”, while Joe Hart described him as “the catalyst who helped change the mentality of Manchester City”. Maybe Tevez is often forgotten because, along with the riches and skills, Tevez had a list of controversies that followed him around wherever he went. Whether it was his refusal to come off the bench in a key Champions League game, moving between rival clubs, or even the issues around who actually owned him, Carlos Tevez's seven year stay in the Premier League was a white knuckle, rollercoaster ride. But despite all that - speak to most fans, and they'll tell you they love him. This episode of Football Daily is hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter, Eugene Noble, and seeks to unravel the controversies of Carlos Tevez's fascinating career, to show just how unique and brilliant a player he was. To understand his rags to riches story, Eugene takes us back to Argentina to see how the man was made. From growing up in a crime filled tower block to being discovered playing on the streets of Buenos Aires, we chart his move from Argentina to London when he stunned everyone to join West Ham. We'll hear from his ex-teammate Bobby Zamora about culture clashes in the dressing room, and how they formed a partnership which led to the great escape. We'll then explore his time at both Manchester clubs, delving into all the controversies, the goals and the trophies along the way, with Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, and many others. The Carlos Tevez story is a thrilling one, offering unique insight, stories and first hand accounts on his career. And Tevez has still got it as well - in June 2025 he scored 4 goals in Soccer Aid at age 41. But do his controversies add to his myth? Or could he have achieved even higher heights if he was a bit better behaved? And is Tevez the most archetypal Argentinian player since Diego Maradona?

When Argentine soccer wizard Diego Armando Maradona swapped Barcelona for lowly Napoli in 1984, it shocked the sporting world — and sent Naples' deadly Camorra into overdrive. Corrupt from the very start, the move would send the world's greatest player into a tailspin of drugs, sex and crime, even while his onfield performances won Napoli its first league in over six decades. But as Maradona Mania gripped the Italian city, the star's underworld friends realized how big a cash cow he was — and flooded Naples with drugs, smuggled cigarettes, guns and shady property deals. And it was right when Maradona was at his peak — an Italian league, and World Cup winner — that things really began to fall apart. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
