DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I had no idea what that was, so I looked it up. It refers to Diego Maradona, and from Wikipedia: "Maradona won various trophies with Boca Juniors, FC Barcelona and SSC Napoli over the course of his career. During an international career that included 91 caps and 34 goals, he played in four FIFA World Cup tournaments, leading the Argentina national team to its victory over West Germany in 1986, in which he collected the Golden Ball award as the tournament's best player. His second goal against England in the quarter-finals of the '86 tournament -- a spectacular 60-meter weave through six England players -- is commonly referred to as "The Goal of the Century.""I watch the video, and yes, definitely impressive. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yeah, that's why the Messi's goal is called as a "Maradonian goal"... sort of baseball's The Catch.But... Maradona done the trick against a strong national selection like England in a World Cup and Messi against a simple Spanish team in a local cup. But it doesn't matter! It was very funny watching the newest goal!!!Look at those pics... the goalies are in the same position and their cheeks are equal.

Snazel Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 April 18 is also a great day in sports history. April 18, 1946 is Jackie Robinson's professional debut in baseball. While April 15 is widely separated (and should be), Jackie was a paid member of the Dodger organization in 1946 and had three hits and a homerun in his debut on April 18, 1946.

The other goal is still the best I've ever seen in my lifetime.The thing is that Argentineans hate Englishmen because of the Malvinas' stuff. They considered that a burglar that stole to another burglar gets 100 years of pardon.Not just my thought but that's the usual thought of every Argentinean.And Argentineans used to say that the first goal values zero and the second values the double so Argentina 2 vs England 1 is okay.And Pele when he was young used to kick the shin of the rivals. So don't think he was a saint.<Thousands of English fans chanting>They won the match, but we still own the Falklands!</Thousands of English fans chanting>No, common Englishmen don't own the Malvinas.

Phil Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I'm more partial to Ibrahimovic's goal from a few years back.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUXFGuu2LUwJust listen to the audio from that one. I'm not sure what language that was or what he was saying exactly, but it sounded hilarious. Also, interestingly enough, more understandable to the average English speaker than any Bob Cole/Harry Neale narration.Or Ronaldinho's goal from earlier this season "As electrifying as a hair dryer thrown into a hot tub my friend...""Like Betamax, they do not make them like him anymore...""Absolutely bamboozles his defender with this virtuoso goal, and little blondie says 'I want to be like him'...""[player] is just a spectator, looks down at him and says 'That's not human'.

Fred T. Jane Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 No, common Englishmen don't own the Malvinas.
