Bear in mind that here in Argentina Maradona is considered a complete idiot and a very unpleasant person. Sure, he rocked at football, but he sucks as a human being, so don't pay attention to that waste of a man. On the other hand, the fans you mentioned... Well, let's just say that the most idiotic fans are the loudest as far as I can tell. Besides, if Germany had beatten us 7-1 and not Brazil, Brazilian fans would probably react the same. Sure, my country is full of a**holes, but so does all the others.


Really? All I ever hear is how much of a legend they think he is and how Messi will never be as loved as Maradona.

You're probably listening to the wrong people.

Sure, we do acknowledge the fact that he was without a doubt an outstanding football player, that is why some fans talk highly about him when discussing football, but the truth is that we all know that as a person he is really despised. His attitude in general is terrible and he seems to be full of himself, from time to time he gets back in the media due to his sharp tongue and attitude. That's the one and only truth. In football terms, he's great; in everything else... He's not so great.

 

Quick edit: Messi, on the other hand, is considered a really humble person and an amazing football player. I think I've never heard ANYONE bash Messi in any way.
