For me it was Italy 1990, when Diego ran through the Brazilian defenders, and passed the ball between the legs of a defender to Caniggia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ofYTWi6_dA Probably not his best and most discussed moves, but it's the most memorable moment for me. The 1990 squad was one of the least entertaining Argentina national teams, but man that team was full of bad asses. Their defense was like a brick wall, and it was extremely difficult team to beat. Maradona was a unique player. He often won the matches all by himself... one 10 seconds of genius was enough to end Brazil's tournament back then.
After scoring against Greece? Yeah, I remember that moment... it all looked great for Argentina back then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHg5eHkH5Gk I still can't understand how they managed to screw up their tournament like that...that '94 squad was utterly brilliant. Not to take anything away from Romania, but still... Argentina should have been in the finals.
well imagine if you are the best boxer in the world and just before the bell starts you find out your wife and kid died, thats's what happened to Arg when Maradona got kicked out. Every Arg supporter lost something important that day
There are many, but my favorite was when he left Fillol crawling before scoring the 3-0 against River. Total humillation. .
I agree. As far as my favorite Diego moments, there was obviously the game against England in Mexico, and then there was the superclasico in the pouring rain, when he scored this goal: [youtube]5Y30SSOMVho[/youtube]
