maradona WAS great
but not since 1990, and maybe no-one has nor will ever equal his magic and single-handedly turning games
but, its time to move on 2 decades later we have messi, cristiano, ibra, tevez, kaka, rooney, ribery, robben, etc we had ronaldinho and ronaldo de assis (R9) at their best, raul, henry, etc these are great footballing times there are lot of great players
magic along the lines of cruyff, pele, diego will not be equaled easily, if they were playing today, theyd be spending a lot of time recovering from injuries, games are faster, defenders are harder, more fixtures, no time or space
