The world greatest, the most legendary and icoonic footballer (exept perhaps rivaled by Pele) and it bever seems to be a debate to who. Can rival the top 2. Just read this as i write and i'm rieling in disbelief.

The tragedies that is 2020 seems to never end. This is a huge loss, even he did not live the healthiest liifestyle, 60 years of age is to early. Argentina is now going into a long time of mourning as nobody is bigger then Maradona. So i send a message of grief and condolancesto the argentinian people and to football in its wholeness.

Rest in peace Diego Armando Maradona "the Golden Boy"

My brother just called me and told me the news. His death is probably linked to the debaucherous lifestyle he had after his career. R.I.P.

I consider Pele to be the greatest though.

The greatest of all time is gone.

No one's even close. Not only because of his skillset. His personality, charisma and magnetism are second to none.

Argentina is completely devastated. The government has established 3 days of mourning. He made us known around the world like no other. You may not know where Argentina is located, but you sure knew who Maradona was. He was even more famous than the Pope himself.

I couldn"t care less about what he thought or did with his own life. I only know how proud and happy he made us all.

Thanks for all the memories. You will be forever missed DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA.

I see you are from Germany. Tell Pelé, hell, even tell Messi, to take a humble club like Arminia Bielefeld and turn it into the greatest like Maradona did with Napoli in Italy

Indeed, it seems he won over everyone in Napoli with his football but also with his as far as I can tell honest affection for the city and its people. Napoli is in grief, as is Argentina. RIP!
(Napoli is not quite Arminia Bielefeld though. Wink)

Perhaps not nowadays. But in the 80s they sure were a small squad. Anyway, I said Arminia Bielefeld as I could have said Hertha Berlin or any other not so lauded club

Sad news. I'm not really much of a soccer fan but have heard of him due to the fact that I like to research things and he was always ranked near the top(or at the top) of soccer lists. RIP Diego.

Great player, terrible role model. May he find in death the peace he didn't have in life.

Like some people here, I'm no big fan of soccer myself....I prefer motor car racing (F1, F2, NASCAR, dragsters, etc.)....BUT, we cannot deny as sports loving people in general, that Maradona was probably the GREATEST soccer player in history, if you exclude Pele of course. As a person, Maradona was probably misjuged or judged unjustly in some cases...I don't really know 100%......but he DID donate lots of $$$ to charity, children's funds, poverty communities, etc etc., so he mustn't have been that bad:)
R.I.P TO DIEGO MARADONA and condolences to his family and friends Cry

Sadly in the UK he will always be remembered for punching the ball over Shilton's head.

He was violent, cheated on his wife and abandoned his son.

John Lennon was all that. And I've never heard anyone talk about him the way they talk about Maradona.

It's called class discrimination.

Maradona was a flawed man as we all are who lived his life they way he could. The way they let him live it.

He never asked to be a role model the same way he never asked to have journalists harrassing him 24/7 during his whole career.

During his prime he was the most famous man on this earth. Everybody wanted a piece of him. And Diego never let his people down. That's why he's loved by so many.

Not an easy life to live if you ask me.

Probably he was all that too, but anyone who hasn't sinned PLS raise their hand.

Is this fake or real? If the latter, the "fake news CNN" shouldn't miss the chance. LOL

BTW, R.I.P. the legend Maradona. Ouch

I'm from Argentina and the country is upside down right now.

Rest in peace, Diego. You'll be missed. 

The greatest.

I believe he is much more remembered for the 2nd goal from that game.

The double standards from english people never ceases to amaze me.

They still complain about Maradona's lack of sportmanship even 34 years later, but rarely do they say a thing about the 1966 finals they stole from Germany.
