Maradona's comment's about the US

Maradona has little strength, therefore he hates america only a little.

Can you americans not see this is a compliment and he is really saying he loves americans.

I am guessing maradona like others when they say they hate america they are emaning the administration. Most sane people dislike bush and blairs lies about the need for the war in iraq but people still like our music.

Maradona cheated against england in 1986 yet we still respect him as an athlete. Try to get past the nationalism.

 

His problem is he could have come here and would have come here to play like Pele did and be a hero to our people and he would have made a ton of money in the process.

Then the shiit hit the fan about all his cocaine use, and that opportunity went down the drain.

That is why he is bitter. He has only himself to blame.

 

never ever listen to or believe a word from a cokehead's mouth.

 

...meh. whatever.

 

Hmmm, when a man says he hates your nation with "All his strength" it is up to him to disabuse us of the notion that he meant what he said, not for us to delude ourselves merely to keep comfortable our political bent.
Maradona is a jackass. He was as a player, and he is as a man.

 

Stop trying to belittle arguably the greatest player of all time and instead take a close intorverted look at American society and wonder why Mradona and so many others have hate for this country-not the people but the country the government, the system.

 

What Marradona means is U.S. foreign policy.
If your open minded and not a right wing apoligist
for the Bush adminstration you'd understand what he means.

 

He's into leftist Castro politics, which isn't anything that any of us should admire. At least in my opinion.

And to have a strong "hate" for a society, or anything, and to be proud of it, and to spread it to others? That's just a universal shame.

I can think of a handful of pop songs off the top of my head with lyrics about how hate of any kind is wrong.

Whether you agree with the US policy on Iraq or not, I can't see any excuse for defending or excusing in any way this lame, has-been, doped-up, sensationalist hate mongerer. This is an embarrassment to himself, to his country, and to the sport of soccer.

I'm sorry I read this article. And I hope I soon forget it.

 

Go f*ck yourself.


I don't give a damn if you're Jesus Christ himself. You diss or belittle my country, you get dissed and belittled back, period.


Maradona is nothing but a washed up cokehead who spends his time licking Castro's balls while Chavez bangs him from behind. He's a pathetic loser who's a cheat, and will NEVER be as great at Pele...ever.

 

"I hate the U.S. with all my strength"??


Yeah, I'm sure that foreign policy was all he really meant when he made that statement

 

RRRRRRRRRRREP. Nothing else further needs to be said. Well done, lad.

 

What a fucking asshole he is!
And not because of what he said, but because he just gave ammunition to the soccer-bashing media.

I would be surprised if Rome does not pick up on this.

 

He was appearing on Chavez's radio show, what the hell else is he gonna say?

I remember reading that a couple American journalists and/or players ran into him at Copa America and he was nice enough. Not that he could particularly tell they were American. Or maybe even human, he's mighty out there at this point, maybe we're all just luminescent orbs to his altered perception...

 

Relax.

Thanks to your current president and all his cronies, Maradona was stating what probably half the world thinks of the US right now. Unfortunately, those thoughts are hatred and resentment. If the current regime changes for the better, than the rhetoric of those that are anti US will settle down. As others have pointed out, the sentiment is more anti-Bush than anything else.

If Maradona's drug abuse causes such a revulsion in you, than I wonder what you think of your own country considering it is the number one drug consuming nation in the world.

And yes, Maradona was greater than pele ...

 

GREAT player. SHIT human.

 

Argentina has a long history of being screwed over by western capitalist governments, so i can see why he would say such a thing

 

Argentina also has a history of not supporting the Allies in WWII and harboring Nazi war criminals, so I can see why Western governments would've wanted to screw them over.

 

i doubt that since countries that actively supported the west during WW2 were also later screwed over.

 

Maradona scored a goal that he dribbled thru' 4-5 English defenders, and got acclaimed as the best goal ever in the World Cup. All in a sudden he was greater than Pele?

And we haven't deducted points for his handball yet.

He won a World Cup for his team? Guess what? Paolo Rossi won a World Cup for his team. Ronaldo won a World Cup for his team. Garrincha won a World Cup for his team. Romario won a World Cup for his team. Zidane won a World Cup for his team. Even Bobby Charlton won a World Cup for his team.

I would say Paolo Rossi > Maradona. Not to mention Ronaldo, Zidane, Romario and Garrincha.

For Maradona to be greater than Pele, if he could have beaten Italy in Naples 5-2 and scored a hat trick, and beaten Germany in Rome 5-2 and scored 2 goals, then he'll get some considerations. As of now, he won a World Cup on the American continent. Big deal!

Without that dribbling goal against England Maradona would be just another Bobby Charlton. Who would be insane enough to say Bobby Charlton + a classic goal is greater than Pele?

 

here in europe almost everybody does not like the USA and American people, but they keep it for themselves in public.

 

but we see only the people from the usa like
the real world
oh my god types
the fake happy suburban families from tv shows
the oprah winfrey and dr phil show people
and tourists
and the politicians.

so it is not weird that european people think that american people are stupid.

 

Nobody's arguing he wasnt a great player, and I doubt few are arguing that they disagree vehemently with what he says.

It's just...he's Maradona. Who gives a shit what he says. Its like listening to Britney Spears give relationship advice.
