How dare Maradona accuse England of 'cheating' in 1966 ! Geoff Hurst's controversial goal was an honest shot with the right foot which hit the underside of the bar, it was not punched in with the hand - which is the only way Maradona could have scored his goal in that incident, no way could he have got his head to the ball. He also implied that we only won because of this dubious goal - did he not see Geoff's final goal which would have made the score 3-2 anyway ? Or did he think that was a cheated goal as well ?

So Fabio bought last nights team with him from Italy then did he?
Don't talk such rubbish man. You know I would never dream of going onto an Italian site just to insult the Italian people. Why do you enjoy insulting the English so much then?

Well i dont like Maradonna, but at least he is and Argentian running his national side, we are supposed to be one of the biggest national football countries with an Italian running the natinal side. If it wasn't fot fabio the Italian then England would still be in the dumps.

Yup well done the boys. I bet Iam Wright nearly had a heart attack last night, what a great shot by his lad. I don't know if you all saw it but the german goalie actually saved that shot - phenomenal football.
There were so many good points in that match and with an average age of 11 that's gotta be good for the future.
And as for that cheating argie....

I have no ax to grind about Maradona. I'm not English (Welsh) and have no affinity with the English football team. However, I would like to say this! There are cheats in football like all sports but there is only one thing worse than a cheat and that's an arrogant cheat! Maradona, although admittedly extremely gifted as a footballer was, and probably still is, the most arrogant human being that I have seen associated with football. "Guess" is absolutely right - Maradona isn't in the same league as Pele who over a much longer period and more consistently proved his greatness on the football pitch. In fact, I am of the opinion that he was extremely over-rated. Butcher is right not to want to demean himself by acknowledging Maradona. As a wholehearted sportsman, Butcher wouldn't want to lower his standards to shake hands with such a person and I commend him for not doing that.

To end my tirade let's get the important stuff done.
Well done England and Fabio.

The Scotland result was great to see. To think that the only thing the scottish supporters have had to celebrate in 20 years was a cheating coke-head scoring a handled goal against England. Man that was worth the entrance fee all on it's own.
Watch a bunch of sad losers the jocks are.

Anglo
But do they all say it was the hand of god or do they cough for it?

No he was'nt Pele was.

Yes anglo but how many claim it was the hand of god? What a coke-head sicko, who ate all the pies then marion.

Maradonna was the best player that ever lived, regardless of the problems in his later life and obviously the handball thing. You cannot deny his all round wizardry, talent and skill. Everyone makes mistakes in life.

All footballers cheat or try to con the ref to gain an unfair advantage. Maradona cheated, sure but why is it worse than diving in the box to get a penalty? Butcher should get a life and move on - everybody else has.

Maradona will never be judged as the greatest player ever. That title goes to Pele. A couple of good reasons why:
1. The greatest player never cheats and scores with his hand.
2. The greatest player doesn't cheat and use drugs.

A great player will never do those two things above. Only someone who is not sure of his ability, skill and talent will do those 2 things I mentioned above.

Good old Toshack, well done Wales and well done too England as well. Shame about Scotland and Ireland, but as Trapattoni says, at least they weren't qualifiers.
