Messidona

The last embed video I put up was removed by youtube, so I replaced it with another and found a couple more Messi/Maradona comparisons. For those of you who don't know, the Maradona goal from a 1986 World Cup match for Argentina against England is considered one of if not the greatest goal of all time. 21 years later, the young Argentine who many have hailed as the next Maradona somehow eerily replicates the goal in a Spanish League Semifinal Championship match.

see them side by side:



and if you're really a soccer dork, see the Messi goal with the Maradona play by play call:

Those are both great goals but I think Maradona's was better because he made his in better shorts.

dewy24 is clearly trying to bait me into a replay of our email argument from this afternoon. I'm not biting.

Very well, then. I will now tack on another youtube video to the end of this post, of Maradona juggling and dancing before a game, which features several shots of his shorts. Once everyone has familiarized themselves with the material, we can begin a proper discussion.
