Best athlete of all time

[SquatAss]

  You need to be a complete fucking retard to claim that Maradona was as good or better than Pel้. It is not even close: Pel้ destroys Maradona. Far more dominant, far more goals and pulled off much harder goals than Maradona ever could. There are obviously a lot of Argentineans posting in this board, because only an Argentinean or a retard would say that Maradona is better, and I refuse to believe there are this many retards here.
