Rose tinted glasses are what comes to mind when old folks try to explain that Pele and Maradona "gave" their respective teams world cup trophies. While I think in their era, Pele and Maradona had much better teams assembled than what Messi inherited nowadays. Aditionally, football is much more tactical and professional than what it was from 60's till 80's. Argentina back 4 has been average for years and they're never compact to save their lives. Chime in I wanna read your opinions. |
Seriously you said the Maradona's Argentina was stronger than the actual Argentina? Higuain is one of the best offensive player in the world, currently maybe is the best beside Lewandowski, same Di Maria, Aguero and the same Messi. They choose to NOT convocate Dybala and Icardi, that could easily be the first pick in every national team, or at least the most, depending on the formation. Mascherano and Banega are other two top player, even Lamela and Lavezzi.
The truth is that in the most important match with the Argentina Messi flopped. Remember the last year's final? The World cup's final? Maradona alone won the world cup, Messi, with other of best players in the world can't win nothing outside Barcellona.
