messi's goal is much more beautiful imo! ( surprise!
)
I don't know much about the defenders maradona passed, but they look realy poor, maybe because the defenses are improving with the time, or i don't know.
however. in maradona's goal you got a feeling that the players don't give a dam. they don't even run, don't tackle, like they're scared of him(they have a reason
). while in messi's goal, players are so aggressive, they push him several times and he could have gotten a foul easily in that run.. players throw themselves at every side to stop him. this makes messi's goal more impressive imo, but you can see it on the other way, like, diego is great so they fear him (some guy said that explanation to me ^^ ) wich makes his goal more god like.
another point: messi humiliated the first 2 players he passed, with the ball between they're legs(
), I don't know how it is in europe, but here, it's the biggest humiliation in football!
wich makes the goal harder to make and for people who think like me, gives it a big advance over diego's
now, I already predict the kind of things people are gonna say: you can't compare getafe to England. you can't compare a coopa del rey match to a WC match...
first, let's make it clear: getafe has the best defense in la liga. this team conceded less goals that barcelona or real madrid(cannavaro
). so there isn't such a difference in the levels as one may think.
a goal in a WC worths much more than a non-WC goal. that's undisscussable. this is the only thing that I can't realy answer
. but it doesn't make such a difference, we aren't talking about importance here (are we?).
[is there anyone that agrees with me?]
