Maradona- Cheat or Genius?

i don't think he is a cheater. in my view he is a master of the game. i don't think hand of god incident is a big cheating. they do happen in football. there are many players who dive in the box for penalties. claim as they are hurt, event though they aren't. by do so, they will force ref to give a card. as far as i know almost every player does those thinks. then why aren't all the players being called as cheaters. those things happen in football. that incident gained popularity because it happened in world cup, otherwise, i don't think many people might have remembered it.

well if one thinks about the game, Maradona was just astonishing on the field. He is a football genius. Rest is rest. Everybody has some good and some bad.

he is a genius for sure. no doubt about that. his dribbling skills and vision is fantastic. in the 86 world cup, you just need to watch him in action esp the goal against england where he took on half the team to score a solo goal. also, in the 90 world cup, without him, they would not come in runner up. his career was already going downhill due to fitness problem. He was responsible for Napoli title win in the seria A. i have never seen a player so influential to win title and he is the one for me.
