Good podcast although as an Englishman i have to say that i hope Germany crush Argentina worse than they did Brazil and i don’t even like Germany. Also is Maradona still that revered in Argentina even after he turned out to be a drug cheat, possibly the worst manager they’ve ever had and a general all round idiot?
Answering you question: Nope, he is not. Not because he was a drug cheat (in fact he was never one he was just a drug addict, which it might have lessen his performance during those times ) but because his too arrogant for his own good and the poor decisions he made in his personal live. Still he’s consider a legend and everyone is very thankful for what he did as a football player.
Ps: Even though our countries kinda hate each other I really wanted England to do good in the World Cup and although it’s football an it doesn’t count I think England deserved to win both against Italy and Uruguay.
Correction: Maradona’s goals were against the English, there’s no British team outside of the Olympics.
Dutchie here, talking post-match.
That was a terrible and boring match to watch and neither teams really deserved to win. Germany will probably beat Argentina in the finals.
Oh and
Holland is 2 provinces in the Netherlands, the English started calling us Dutch because of the Deutsch Germans and it sounded all pretty much the same to them.Now I’m done being a slightly condescending and belligerent prick, I’ll go back to worshipping our Windmill overlord.
Keep these podcasts up guys.
Well in Argentina were saying that the Netherlands would probably beat us and look how that turn out :\
Ps: keep Maxima
Wow, I did not know Steve Lemme grew up as an Asian child. Will be listening soon.
Just for correction, Pelé won 3 world cups, 58, 62 and 70
