Maradona is the greatest ever footballer and he is a one man squad. He has it all skills, vision, leadership, passing, creating, recovering possiosn, stringth, shot accuracy. The Brazilian coach of World Cup 1990 once said that he will put 2 man marking Maradona even if he play with one foot
The man was out of football for more than 2 years, 33 years old, cameback to save his country on the request of millions and his president, and was still the finest player on the planet. FIFA and co was legit scared and Havelange and Blatter had to sketch a plan to kick this man out soon enough after they saw how he started impacting in the first few games against Nigeria and Greece. Best player in the history. No question. I love Messi but he can come 2nd.
@Ice booy That's the point OP was trying to make, Maradona was supposed to be over the hill and past his prime, but he came back and rejuvenated an Argentina side that were full of potential but without a leader figure. I love Romario and think he is underrated, but that Golden Ball at the World Cup and subsequent player of the year award might have been very different if Maradona had stayed in that tournament. Diego looked like he was recapturing that same form which made him star in two consecutive World Cup tournaments.
3:50 This moment tells you the exact difference between Maradona and the rest of great players. Other players would have dropped dead after that tackle to get a freekick. Maradona on the other hand continued playing. That's a sign of being legendary.
Maradona is so diferent from Messi, Cristiano, Pelé, Cruyft, he is a amazing passer, amazing improsition, leader, courage, a warrior with amazing teqnique a vision of the field.

I saw Diego in this match live, for the only time. I've see Messi twice in Australia. My impression was that Diego has more of a field general leadership quality. Even though he had just come back to football for this match, and had actually injured his right leg, in a play in the first half, I could still appreciate those qualities, and he did some genius things in this match, though brief by his standards because of his first half injury too, where otherwise he could have moved more around the field. He was a great and true genius!

Maradona the true GOAT! Those flicks, touches, passes, and the awareness are unsurpassed still to date! Messi is skillful, but he has a few things to learn from El Diego! Go Messi, go Argentina! Win this Copa!
@G M Messi is not a playmaker by any means, he's a scorer that can change positions, becoming a false 9 or a winger... You didn't watch Maradona play, or Cruyff or Michael Laudrup. Those were playmakers that eventually scored. They could make their teams play by his passing abilities and his reading of the plays, and by associating with their teammates. Messi is a dribbler, an individual focused player that eventually can associate with some guy, but his main quality is dribbling. That doesn't make you a playmaker AT ALL... and by the way, this era of football is weak, teams doesn't defend properly, rules are designed to favour offensive players, which I don't know why because the guy with the ball has always the advantage, so what is the reason to favour him even more? just because people wants to see goals, so even at champions league levels, you can see games of 5/6/8 goals... it's preposterous, nobody is allowed to defend and defenders don't know how to do it because they doesn't need to know how to do it, they just can't touch anybody in the pitch, it's ridiculous, annoying and appalling... and you're saying this is no sunday football? no, it's WORST keep wasting your little money in some Messi t-shirt and pathetic fifa games

To all the comments saying Messi won Ballon d'Or award 6 times,the award wasn't even open to non European players until 1995,when George weah became the first non European player to win,way after Maradona's peak.The award was known as European footballer of the year before 1995. It's an award offered by a French sports magazine, highly respected (don't know the name). The FIFA world player of the year award, wasn't even started until 1991, which is when maradona was both banned and past his absolute best. So to compare to Messi on that count, doesn't really count,if no such award even existed back then, when maradona was doing all the things that made him famous around the world.
I remember this match like yesterday. I still have it somewhere on VHS, as I recorded it live. Would have went to the match, had I resided in Sydney. Just think about how many more times, Australia could have qualified for the world cup, had they not had to play off with a South American national squad, for how many decades.
@Azzury Street Im curious to know, what is your nationality? South America consistently has some of the strongest teams. I dont believe its fair that a country from Asia has to play off with a South American country. They have changed it to Asia which is fair. Majority of teams from Asia, Africa etc are consistently inferior to South American teams. As a consequence, we have unfairly been unsuccessful at qualifying. I'd also like to address to you that football/soccer is not the main sports code in Australia. There is Australian Rules Football (AFL), Rugby (NRL), Cricket etc. Qualifying or not qualifying for the World Cup directly affects the popularity & progress of the game. Nor did we have any Australian Clubs competing in the Asian Champions League until recently. All we looked forward to was qualifying for the World Cup every 4 years. They are doing there best to suppress the progress of football/soccer here. There is much more coverage of AFL, Rugby, Cricket etc in the newspapers, media. The largest stadiums are reserved for AFL, cricket, rugby. Many clubs are being rejected by councils when requesting pitches to play the game. Its quite odd & frustrating to think that England (who invented the game), colonized this country, yet failed to introduce this game. If I had a time machine, the first thing I'd do is go back & make sure that football is the only code played in this country or atleast the most popular.
I was there. In 5 seconds he made Argentina's only goal. He was not fit hadn't played for a while was carrying a knock but still answered his country's call and was still decisive. The Australian wade was kicking him all night because even unfit he scared defenders. Incomparable on every level
At this stage maradona was finished but still exciting to watch.From 1975 to 1986 he was the best player there will ever be.And no not messi or dare i even mention ronaldo who is not in the top 100 of all time
Fifa wanted Argentina to be in the US world cup in 1994. Argentina is a great contestant and a football attraction. It helps sell football and advertising etc.... So, there wasn't any doping check after the game. Maradona declared that the Argentine delegation gave the players a substance to swallow so as they could win at any expense. They did win and in fact there weren't any urine samples takes after the game.
Was 10 years old when I watched 94 world cup,he was awesome, still there best player,if he played today, he'd be pushing for the best players spot, it'd be whether or not he spends his career in a mediocre team and snorts coke or takes it seriously,nether the less he's about the most talented footballer I've ever seen,even Zidane or Messi,just that they did it more often,no coke,no bullshit with them. If I was a manager today I'd pick either of them because of that for a season challenge,but if I wanted a spectacular game with two of the best goals ever off of the most characteristic football player ever, I'd pick maradona
Una sombra de lo que era. En ese partido no hizo nada. Jugo bien la vuelta en el monumental. Jugabamos contra Australia y ganamos con un gol de rebote.
Der größte Spieler aller Zeiten. Obwohl zu seiner Zeit die schlimmsten Fouls gab und die Plätze nicht so gut waren wie jetzt. Würde er heute spielen, wo die Plätze so schön sind und die Spieler so gut beschützt werden von den Schiedsrichtern,dann wäre er jedes Jahr Ballon Gewinner.
I remember very Well the wc 1994, It was like Maradona coming from nowhere, And we were so but so happy he was Here : Just for look his Magic Art And i read somewhere Maradona trained with the Legend 100 m Athlet Ben Johnson for this wc, And Ben have said he was impressed by Maradona, that he was very motivated

@@MrLebowski1980 sorry Maradona had it all. He was consistently playing with lesser players than those Messi had at Barca. Always carried the team and literally the fulcrum of the entire Argentinian and the Napoli team. He was not just skilfull but he is stronger than Messi
So Messi is 33 now also just like Maradona here, I think sometimes people like to watch football with too much nostalgia sometimes. Maradona is unbelievably brilliant. But the more I see of Messi the more I realise you will never ever see a more gifted individual to play the game
Diego is almost 34 here,Messi is 32,Maradona was coming from an injury and at that moment stayed away from football,plus you can’t compare today methods of training,medicine an so on,to that 25 years ago.

I remember this match like yesterday. I still have it somewhere on VHS, as I recorded it live. Would have went to the match, had I resided in Sydney. Just think about how many more times, Australia could have qualified for the world cup, had they not had to play off with a South American national squad, for how many decades.
@Azzury Street Im curious to know, what is your nationality? South America consistently has some of the strongest teams. I dont believe its fair that a country from Asia has to play off with a South American country. They have changed it to Asia which is fair. Majority of teams from Asia, Africa etc are consistently inferior to South American teams. As a consequence, we have unfairly been unsuccessful at qualifying. I'd also like to address to you that football/soccer is not the main sports code in Australia. There is Australian Rules Football (AFL), Rugby (NRL), Cricket etc. Qualifying or not qualifying for the World Cup directly affects the popularity & progress of the game. Nor did we have any Australian Clubs competing in the Asian Champions League until recently. All we looked forward to was qualifying for the World Cup every 4 years. They are doing there best to suppress the progress of football/soccer here. There is much more coverage of AFL, Rugby, Cricket etc in the newspapers, media. The largest stadiums are reserved for AFL, cricket, rugby. Many clubs are being rejected by councils when requesting pitches to play the game. Its quite odd & frustrating to think that England (who invented the game), colonized this country, yet failed to introduce this game. If I had a time machine, the first thing I'd do is go back & make sure that football is the only code played in this country or atleast the most popular.
Maradona was a combination of Messi, Iniesta and Xavi. Best player who ever lived.
Maradona is a combination of Mahrez, Ben Arfa and Griezman
Between Messi and Tévez.
He can fit perfectly in any team.
I was there. In 5 seconds he made Argentina's only goal. He was not fit hadn't played for a while was carrying a knock but still answered his country's call and was still decisive. The Australian wade was kicking him all night because even unfit he scared defenders.
Incomparable on every level
It is the pride for the ball when Maradona touches it.
...touches it with his hand.
In a clever way,he made that goal historically.
@@vinolelove4387 that's quite a touching sentiment.
@@Hugh_Jurrection That ball needed that emotional touch from maradona
At this stage maradona was finished but still exciting to watch.From 1975 to 1986 he was the best player there will ever be.And no not messi or dare i even mention ronaldo who is not in the top 100 of all time
Fifa wanted Argentina to be in the US world cup in 1994. Argentina is a great contestant and a football attraction. It helps sell football and advertising etc....
So, there wasn't any doping check after the game. Maradona declared that the Argentine delegation gave the players a substance to swallow so as they could win at any expense. They did win and in fact there weren't any urine samples takes after the game.
Was 10 years old when I watched 94 world cup,he was awesome, still there best player,if he played today, he'd be pushing for the best players spot, it'd be whether or not he spends his career in a mediocre team and snorts coke or takes it seriously,nether the less he's about the most talented footballer I've ever seen,even Zidane or Messi,just that they did it more often,no coke,no bullshit with them. If I was a manager today I'd pick either of them because of that for a season challenge,but if I wanted a spectacular game with two of the best goals ever off of the most characteristic football player ever, I'd pick maradona
What a marvellous pass by Maradona
It is a privilege for the Aussies to be able to see Maradona at his best moment
It is called the combination of talent and magic
3:42 ¡¡Geniooo!!
Se podría decir que la hizo todo el, por ende el gol es de el ?
Diego Pelozo tal cual loco!! Gracias a esa mágica e increíble jugada mete a la Argentina en USA 94
Una sombra de lo que era. En ese partido no hizo nada. Jugo bien la vuelta en el monumental. Jugabamos contra Australia y ganamos con un gol de rebote.
@@gatubela5488 jajajajajajajaja
He’s just like Messi, but with heart and guts.
Der größte Spieler aller Zeiten. Obwohl zu seiner Zeit die schlimmsten Fouls gab und die Plätze nicht so gut waren wie jetzt. Würde er heute spielen, wo die Plätze so schön sind und die Spieler so gut beschützt werden von den Schiedsrichtern,dann wäre er jedes Jahr Ballon Gewinner.
Great video... thanks for the upload 👍
Pura garra el diego,un gran estratega.
The respect he demands
Esto fue en el año 1993. Esa descripción de cada aspecto de Maradona fue el anticipo de los videojuegos FiFA que luego vendrían. Fenomenal.
Best he is best he was best ever will be
Gracias Diego!
I remember very Well the wc 1994,
It was like Maradona coming from nowhere,
And we were so but so happy he was Here :
Just for look his Magic Art
And i read somewhere Maradona trained with the Legend 100 m Athlet Ben Johnson for this wc,
And Ben have said he was impressed by Maradona, that he was very motivated
Como te extraño diegooooi
THE BEST!!!!! (THE END).-
The pitch looks small. .. most probably to contain Maradona and not to give him space by the Australians
Me acuerdo cuando lo tuvieron que ir a buscar para ese repechaje... sino, nunca hubiesemos clasificado. Nadie igual...
es verdad, la jugada distinta para superar a una mediocre australia fue de diego , sino chau mundial
No puedo creer q BALBO Y MCALIISTER CON LO MUERTOS Q ERAN HAYAN COMPARTIDO SELECCION CON REDONDO Y MARADONA, ESO HABLA MUY BIEN DE ELLOS 2 ( ES ESO O BASILE EN ESA EPOCA YA ERA TERRAPLANISTA.......
Argentina estaba en nada hasta que volvió Maradona. Yo si creo que le cortaron las piernas en el mundial, porque apuntaron a el desde el principio. Argentina estaba para otra final.
@@demonicoymonstruoso dificil esa selección ya era decadente, no era la misma que la del 86
@@n.duarte.9766 en el mundial 94 Argentina tenía un equipazo, jugador por jugador mejor equipo que en el 86, por rendimiento y química del equipo en los primeros dos partidos claramente seguían de largo hasta la final, el equipo estaba en el mejor momento. Lo que pasó antes en la eliminatoria es otra historia, incomparable a lo que es jugar un mundial.
@@pedrolamas6652 Batistuta, Maradona y Caniggia. Solo ellos eran las figuras. El resto del equipo era medio pelo. Empezando por Islas que no agarraba ninguna. Y la defensa que era bailada.
Maradona - super!
Talented maradona ...awesome..
WoW !!!! Johnny Warren and Les Murray together !!!!! Definitely the Highlight of The Game............
Argentina teve que ir para a repescagem da copa 94. O futebol já demonstrava que não tinha seleções de nome tão favoritas assim.
Maradona es de la escuela de Ronaldinho, Ronaldo 9... Talento en estado puro, sin necesidad de entrenar. Aunque eso les costó que su carrera a partir de los 30 decayera bastante. Para mí los mejores
Makes me sad to see hateful comments againts the undisputed emperor of football..i guess most of u werent alive in 1986 and 1990.
TALENT
Diego sei inarrivabile vederi giocare fa bene al cuore e agli occhi
What a honer been for the Australia's to have Maradona on their territory
Maradona Best best player food ball history,
Second best to Messi, but it's close.
@@MrLebowski1980 sorry Maradona had it all. He was consistently playing with lesser players than those Messi had at Barca. Always carried the team and literally the fulcrum of the entire Argentinian and the Napoli team. He was not just skilfull but he is stronger than Messi
@@ConstantineJoseph you literally just described Messi - except Maradona had cocaine
Zinedine Zidane is the best football player
WITH AID OF DRUGS
he was 34 in this match.
Great Channel👍👍👍⚽️⚽️
When half the things he does are excellent, the other half are simply unbelievable. 33 and unfit? Like playing a 99 opponent on sensible soccer.
RIP Diego Maradona.
THANKS FOR VIDEO
If this guy trained like Ronaldo or Messi
The Socceroos were facing a Maradona way past his best. Had they been playing a Maradona of 27 or 28 they would have been in deep trouble!
Maradona’s passing was amazing
maradona is god of football, the best ever
Maradona should be 10/10 in passing, and 8/10 in shooting.
@Jon K Still have to see Messi score a goal with a free kick inside the area... Maradona was insanely good at free kicks.
@Jon K
ruclips.net/video/VK843s9BwVs/видео.html
Maradona has scored 5 or 6 more free kicks than Messi playing 150 games less ... Maradona is way better at free kicks
Maradona kept staring at that white line on halfway.
So Messi is 33 now also just like Maradona here, I think sometimes people like to watch football with too much nostalgia sometimes.
Maradona is unbelievably brilliant. But the more I see of Messi the more I realise you will never ever see a more gifted individual to play the game
Messi is just 32 years old
Oh Yh but still only a year difference
Grow up, boy.. Messi is nothing compared to Maradona..
Diego is almost 34 here,Messi is 32,Maradona was coming from an injury and at that moment stayed away from football,plus you can’t compare today methods of training,medicine an so on,to that 25 years ago.
Hasta el mínimo pase lo daba con calidad y magia
Johnny Warren, Des Murray, Eddie Thompson and my father all had left me(us) since then☹️
May they rest in peace
maradona plays everywhere
3:40 en adelante. GRACIAS DIEGO
El mejor de la historia lejos
