Ranking the “greatest soccer players of all time” often leads to a top three dominated by South Americans: Lionel Messi, Pelé, and Diego Maradona.  While soccer originated in Europe, its arrival in the Americas was a turning point for the sport. How did a game with such a late start in the Western Hemisphere evolve into a cultural sensation, and how did these nations become an engine for the world's most brilliant talent?  Learn more about the history and rapid ascendancy of soccer across South America on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

 Where does Gianfranco Zola rank among Chelsea's greatest-ever Premier League players? How much of his extraordinary technical ability was shaped by learning alongside the great Diego Maradona at Napoli? Gary, Alan and Micah look back on the career of the “Little Master” Gianfranco Zola — from being one of the finest foreign imports to grace the Premier League in the 1990s, to laying the foundations for Chelsea's rise into a dominant force under Roman Abramovich and José Mourinho in the 2000s.

We are nearly there! Martyn is joined again by the author Aidan Williams to round up the rest of the qualifiers - from Argentina to Iraq - and to take a look at the contemporaneous previews on the eve of the tournament. There were big concerns about the impact of the midday sun on the quality of football, most agreed that there was no outstanding favourite and Diego Maradona had far from convinced everyone that he was about to take the world by storm.

Kate Adie introduces stories from Ukraine, Russia, France, Uganda and Morocco.As temperatures plummet in Ukraine, Russia is aggressively attacking the country's energy grid. Ukraine is heavily reliant on its nuclear power plants, which are also being targeted. There are concerns that without proper maintenance, it could trigger another nuclear disaster. Wyre Davies spoke to the head of Ukraine's nuclear authority.President Trump has claimed the threat posed by Russia and China is one of the reasons the US must acquire Greenland - but rather than antagonise the Kremlin, the pro-Kremlin Russian news service has been full of praise for the US president. Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow.From South Korea to Western Europe, there's deep concern over falling birth rates – and it was one of the reasons behind France's decision a few years ago to amend its policy regarding egg-freezing for non-medical purposes, bringing it in line with other European countries. Carolyn Lamboley recounts her personal experience.1986 was the year Diego Maradona lifted the World Cup - and when Uganda's president Yoweri Museveni first came to power. Last week, the 81-year-old won his seventh consecutive term in office, Sammy Awami was in Kampala where he heard from young people about how they voted.The 2026 Africa Cup of Nations came to a close in Morocco last weekend and aside from missing the chance to lift the trophy for the first time in fifty years, the tournament proved controversial in Morocco due to the vast sums spent on it. Tim Hartley reflects on the discontent over prioritising sporting prestige over public services.Producer: Serena Tarling Production coordinators: Katie Morrison and Sophie Hill Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

El Placer de Viajar nos lleva esta semana a dos destinos muy diferentes pero con la gastronomía como punto en común: Nápoles y la provincia de Huelva. Carmelo Jordá y Kelu Robles presentan en este nuevo episodio de El placer de viajar dos destinos completamente diferentes y bastante lejanos, pero unidos por una característica común: su excelente gastronomía. El programa empieza con Kelu Robles haciendo un entusiasmado recorrido por la cautivadora Nápoles, de la que además se recuerda su profundo vínculo histórico con España desde el reinado de Alfonso V de Aragón. La ciudad se revela como un escenario scugnizzo y caótico, donde la vida se despliega intensamente en arterias como Spaccanapoli y la comercial Vía Toledo, todo bajo la atenta y amenazante mirada del Vesubio. El itinerario explora los Quartieri Spagnoli, donde el fervor por Diego Maradona alcanza tintes de culto a la divinidad en sus altares y murales. Entre la religiosidad de San Gennaro y el arte del Cristo Velato, una escultura de inmensa belleza obra del artista Giuseppe Sanmartino y que ha sido una pieza clave en la historia del arte. Por supuesto, capítulo aparte y destacado merece la excursión a Pompeya, una alucinante cápsula del tiempo que permite revivir la antigua Roma a través de sus ruinas conservadas por la ceniza. Además, también se comenta uno de los atractivos de la ciudad: la oferta de una gastronomía inigualable basada sobre todo en la salsa de tomate que se puede, y se debe, disfrutar sobre todo en la sencilla pero insuperable pizza Margherita. Sin olvidar el café que también es casi un objeto de culto. En su segunda mitad el episodio cuenta con la intervención de Alfredo García Reyes, uno de los periodistas de viajes y gastronómicos más importantes de España, que nos acompaña en un recorrido también centrado en la gastronomía, por la provincia de Huelva, un destino espectacular desde cualquier punto de vista, pero especialmente desde el de la buena mesa. El recorrido empieza por la Sierra de Aracena que destaca como un destino de excelencia donde el gran protagonista es, por supuesto, el jamón de la DOP Jabugo, un baluarte de la marca España cuya elaboración artesanal y respeto por la dehesa garantizan un producto de calidad suprema, tal como se aprecia en firmas legendarias como Cinco Jotas. García Reyes explica las posibilidades no sólo gastronómicas sino también turísticas del producto, al que el viajero se puede acercar para conocer el territorio, la producción y las bodegas en las que se elabora esa joya. Bodegas también como otras en las que se elabora un caldo muy especial: el brandy Luis Felipe, una auténtica delicia muy especial y que alcanza precios de miles de euros por botella. Finalmente, el viaje concluye en el litoral onubense, visitando la lonja de Isla Cristina para disfrutar de tesoros marinos como la gamba blanca. Un recorrido en barco por el litoral y las marismas y la visita a una conservera son algunas de las actividades que se proponen para conocer mejor el lugar y sus productos, concluyendo con la recomendación de un lugar muy especial, el chiringuito La Sonrisa, Beach Club en Punta del Moral, un broche perfecto para ese recorrido por una provincia que quizá no está en la agenda viajera de todos, pero que es una muestra perfecta de esos lugares donde el paisaje y la gastronomía se funden en una oferta turística de primer nivel. Escríbenos, explícanos qué te gusta más y si hay algo que no te gusta tanto de El Placer de Viajar, dinos de qué destinos quieres que hablemos y si quieres que tratemos algún tema y, por supuesto, pregúntanos lo que quieras en el correo del programa: elplacerdeviajar@libertaddigital.com.

Alle ogen in Italië zijn op 1 mei 1988 gericht op het Stadio San Paolo in Napels. Met nog drie speelronden tot het einde van de Serie A staat er een kraker tussen Napoli en AC Milan op het programma. Het Napoli van Diego Maradona is de regerend kampioen, en heeft voorafgaand aan het duel één punt voorsprong op Milan, waar ze de jaren ervoor niets te duchten van hebben gehad. Maar dat zal spoedig veranderen.

He's one of the most recognisable faces in the UK for his work on - and off - the pitch. A prolific goalscorer for England turned host of the BBC's iconic Match of the Day TV programme. Now embarking on a new chapter with his hugely-popular The Rest is Football podcast, Gary Lineker sits down with John Obi Mikel and Chris McHardy to reminisce. And there's plenty on the agenda. From his fallout with Johan Cruyff to his close bond with Terry Venables, and from the embarrassment of shitting himself at Italia ‘90 to the heartbreak of losing a World Cup semi-final. And there's questions. What hurt more? Defeat to Diego Maradona's Argentina in ‘86 or that loss to Germany in ‘90? Who is better - Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard? And why is Cristiano Ronaldo not on Lionel Messi or Maradona's level. He also speaks powerfully about his son's childhood leukaemia battle, how it changed his outlook on life, and why being able to look himself in the mirror matters more than any headline.

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.

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.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 30ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1971 shábháil siad leanbh agus páistí a bhí ag screadach ó bhloc árasán a bhí trí thine I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 2009 fuair turasóir mála droma aois 23 ó Éirinn, bás san Astráil tar éis ionsaí uafásach. I 1971 chúisigh beirt dhuine óg ag an chúirt de bharr gur ghoid siad 3 charr agus d'úsáid siad iad gan aon árachas agus ceadúnas tiomána. I 1987 bhí agóid ag tarlú in Inis I gcoinne comhairle chontae an chláir de bharr an mhéadú de na táillí uisce. Sin Cheryl Cole le Fight For This Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2009. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1963 ar an lá deireanach den turas ceoil, thaifead The Beatles píosa don chlár Drop In I Stócólm. Chan siad She Loves You, Twist and Shout, I Saw Her Standing There agus Long Tall Sally. I 1967 thaifead Tyrannosaurus Rex seisiúin do stáisiúin raidió sa Bhreatain don chlár Top Gear. 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. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 30th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1971: Screaming children and babies in arms were snatched to safety from a blazing flat in Dublin. 2009 a 23 year old Irish backpacker died in an Australian hospital following a vicious assault. 1971: 2 youths were charged at the local court with stealing 3 cars and with using the cars without a driving license or insurance. 1987: A public protest over Clare county council's one hundred per cent increase for domestic water supplies was held outside Ennis courthouse. That was Cheryl Cole with Fight for this Love – the biggest song on this day in 2009 Onto music news on this day In 1963 On the final day of their Swedish tour, The Beatles recorded an appearance for the Sverige Television program ‘Drop In' in Stockholm. They performed ‘She Loves You', ‘Twist and Shout', ‘I Saw Her Standing There', and ‘Long Tall Sally.' 1967 Tyrannosaurus Rex recorded a session for the UK Radio 1 'Top Gear' show, the first group to do so without a recording contract. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – soccer player Diego Maradona was born in Argentina in 1960 and actor Matthew Morrison was born in America on this day in 1978 and this is some of the things he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

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

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.

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?
