Don't particularly like either so it's the old adage of laughing at the loser

Argentina have Messi, and Holland have 11 players not named Messi. Argentina is going to win

Hope the Dutch summon up the spirit of Bergkamp 98.

2nd best goal in world cup history.

That's a great goal but the defending is shocking. Top 20, maybe, but it doesn't come close to Maradona's vs. England in 1986.

Lol it's far better than Maradonas where the defending was horrific. Maradona is a bigger name though hence his gets the popular vote.

He ran further and beat more people whereas maradona beat a couple of players and had couple of others running alongside him not putting a foot in.

Yes the defending wasn't the best but if it had been good defending it wouldn't have been a goal.

I agree with Cripps, that Maradonna goal is hugely overrated.
