At 24 he isn't the finished article, but he has the makings of a surprise package. We still need another tier one striker though.

Looks like the bastard child of a predator and a high court judge. Wrongun.

The protection modern players have from refs is also a factor. Anyone can look up the carnage and brutality launched at Maradona back in the day. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/patrick-barclay-why-i-will-never-consider-lionel-messi-greater-than-diego-maradona-8834548.html

Messi would be dead after one tackle from behind that was legal in them days.

The 90 side wasn't good mate. They got to the final on the back of their reserve keeper Goicachea coming in after injury to the first choice, Pumpido if I recall, and him being a bit of a penalty saving specialist. Fair enough - I was only seven at the time, so my footballing knowledge wasn't great. This was more based on what I had read. Feel free to make sweeping comments on zero knowledge tho. Napoli did have 2/3 good players in the Maradona side but had never won the league and never have since. They were up against the powerhouses of Inter, Roma and AC Milan. He lifted the whole city not just the club. They won the league twice while he was there. Messi will never be able to do that at a midtable Spanish or Italian club...Ever.

People questioning Maradona's credentials.

What Maradona did at Napoli will never be matched.

If Germany win we'll never hear the end of it.

If Germany win their heads will explode and they'll invade Poland.

Argies should be one up.

Even Fred looked more dangerous than this guy.

Wherever he plays it looks like he's got a few goals in him.

Probably not Alaskan. As far as football goes, they're not that Inuit.

At a stretch I can see one more player coming in, probably a 18yr old from Alaska or summink. There will be no Cabella unless we can get him for around 5m or thereabouts. They want 16m euro.

Look no further than Scolari for this. Brazil had no tactical idea whatsoever, once the first went in they fell apart.

I mean who actually is this Fred bloke?

For another tonking.

I'd really be enjoying this apart from having to listen to the Germans here for the next four years.

Has he picked up a single yellow yet? I'm certain Brazil will somehow make it to the final. Certain. Fifa are as well.

It will the mother of nightmares if Germany win it.

Apart from the fact that Kha is shit.

He'll go on a free and two fingers to Mashley/Pardsrew.

We must be drugging these victims on contract signing day.
