Maradona is overhyped to be the God of Football for winning just one world cup. Messi is also overhyped without winning a single world cup. It is the same way in which we Indians overhype Sachin Tendulkar as the God of Cricket without a single World Cup title to his credit.

to refresh your memory my dear, Diego won the cup in 1986. I am sure you remember it but might have slipped out of your mind.

M.C Mary Kom (Boxing) & Saina Nehwal (Badminton) are todays world class sports persons. Both of them are winning world championships performing exceedingly well in boxing/badminton which are truly global sports in which level of competition is very high, while cricket has a following in hardly 10 countries. Mary Kom is Four-time World Boxing Champion & is performing well even after becoming mother of 2 children. But who cares in this cricket-crazy nation?? We only like to talk about cricket and bollywood.

neeraj, we had quite a few good bowlers. but we didn't win the WC. also sachin did not took india to final. it was the other 10 who took india to final. also sachin was not world no. 1 for 20 consecutive years. just because he played for 20 years does not mean that he was no. 1 all of that time.

I was only bringing up the point that Maradona and Messi are too overhyped.

I support Germany because they are a really good and professional team, and not because they have 3 muslim players.

You forgot Italy. All three European teams were bad as far as their performance is concerned. France was too old to handle, England never had any hopes, Italy a hyped team with no goals. May be the Euros devaluation affected their performance. God knows.

If you look at the international track record, then Latin American teams fair better compared to European sides inspite of not having a club structure as strong as in Europe. Look what Cristiano Ronaldo's coach is saying about him! That the footballer isn't able to take the extra pressure for Portugal.

rubbish..south american football is poetry..Germans are robot like..how dare you undermine Latin football? just because they lost some matches? Spain got lucky with Paraguay.
Re: Re: clearly
by Cool Mahesh on Jul 04, 2010 09:41 AM
John Thomas, I agree with u that South Americans are a little overhyped, especially the players like Messi. He was a big flop in the WC.

Argentina met a really superior opposition for the first time in WC2010 yesterday and were torn to shreds. Till yesterday they had a relatively easier oppositions in each match.

Germany, over the years, specially under Lothar Matias played hard physical football. But this team is playing an attractive attacking football. If you would have noticed, after the 3rd goal, they pulled back their players a little knowing that Argentina would go all out for a consolation goal which exposed their defence and their relied on cunter-attack to score the 4th goal.

Don't repeat the same thing again and again. We appreciate your thoughts. And, it is high time include real HEROES in ur list. Our jawans, true entrepreneures like Ratan Tata or Narayanmurthy or Abdul Kalam cause of them we are safe, we are employed and we are proud to be an Indian.
Poor Argentinians! They were facing a good opponent for the first time in this edition of World Cup. It is unbelievable that the Germans can play like this! Klose could have easily made a Hat trick.
Re: POOR ARGENTINIANS
by anand kulkarni on Jul 04, 2010 08:37 AM
I don;t think German is is amazing.The best skill they have is intuition to read opponents.They change their game swiftly based on situation.Look at Argentinian defence.Do you call that a good defence ?
No team has ever won the world cup with out good defence.Argentina is a poor and arrogant team albeit with good talent... They lack planning and execution altogether..
Todays day was not good for naked people. Maradonna and Paraguan model wanted to run naked if their countries won, so their country men saved their laaj :P

Actually i thnk Argentines gone mad after being defeated and some people becomes completely mad after reading comments here. So they are looking after "how to improve english" .. U can see a comment below.
Re: Re: What Players??
by surya das on Jul 04, 2010 07:07 AM
I dont know whether they are mad or not but im sure u are gone mad by reading ur past comments, when u describe them as OUR HERO.. and WE should pray for them.. these two lines, shows how idiotic person u are? Have u ever prayed for our jawans who are fighting for our safety, ve u called them ever as "OUR HEROES".. Learn be a good citizen, and behave as a proper balance person, before anyone called u as an insane or crazy mar00n.. Country and countrymen first (NOT anti social elements in our country)
The overconfidence attitude of Maradona and his useless players leads to the downfall of Argentina... Now they were in the middle of nowhere... Their attitude downfall them from the sublime heights, which they achieved. They have tried so many times in the past to defeat Germany, but they fails... The only responsible over here is Maradona... and his fool teammates like messi. They have unfortunately reached quarterfinal becz they have come across with some weak opponents, but when they got the real exam, they fails... Nobody can defeat Germansss. They are power rangers of all times... Hat's off to you guys..

its the content and intent that matters rather than the construction of sentence. u can easily find at least 2 errors in ur own sentence. so beat it..

Hey it is not a creative writing competition.... Here grammer and complete sentence doesn't matter.. the only thing matters here is your thoughts and how u want to express.. U better go to a school and teach englsh... U dont have to teach me how to construct sentence..
