People still go on about Maradona's "hand-of-god", but no fucker cares that Messi did the same thing when trying to steal the Spanish title a few years back. It's just selective blindness. I don't deny that he's beyond amazing on the ball, but it seems to blind people from his filthy cuntisms.
The fact that Maradona's was in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and against England, means it will always be talked about, moreso than Messi's.
