the best striker in the world forever !!!

Besides Maradona and Destefano..The Greatest Soccer player from Argentina...and certainly better than Messi who never shows up outside the club level.

Anyway, back on topic, excellent video on a wonderful striker, probably my favourite.

@Dynamikwun Agreed. We should also consider that Diego had a similar history in the WC to Messi at his age - both overlooked in their late teens (completely so in Diego's case in '78 but Messi also missed out on '06 loss to Germany), then neither being quite ready in early '20s to carry faltering sides in '82 and '10. People make the mistake of rushing to compare Messi to Diego's '86 campaign in his prime, better off waiting to 2014 when Messi is 26/27 to definitively judge.

what defines this absolute titan is that phrase "I didn't want to go to a big club...winning silverware there would've been easy, I wanted a challenge"
