Maradona's the best ever, but neither Napoli nor Argentina were poor teams by any stretch of the imagination.
Maradona better than Pele, or Messi??

What makes you say that?

It's his opinion.

And one I've already gone over with the same person in the past. Getting a bit tiring to have to keep explaining things to a manchild.

Why?

This is a public forum is it not, and I have not broken any of the rules by asking you a simple question have I?

It's his opinion.
I know that it is, I never said otherwise, I was only trying to ascertain as to what brought that poster to that conclusion, I didn't mean any harm by it.

And one I've already gone over with the same person in the past. Getting a bit tiring to have to keep explaining things to a manchild.
"Manchild"???

Any reason to get personal over such a trivial matter??

Because you've asked me before, I've explained why before, you didn't understand a single thing I said before. Interacting with you in any way is a test of endurance and a lesson in futility.

Did you, I apologise then if I have asked you that previously.

No need to get so personal with the replies, can we not just be nice too one another??
I don't think that I have said anything of a personal nature towards you.

You would if I repeatedly asked the same questions, said the exact same things and then the opposite a day later or did things like ask if a reference to rugby meant league or union even if it was patently obvious.

I'd deserve all the names under the sun.

I don't quite see how saying rugby is meant to be obvious as to which code you mean, but hey how, let's put this behind us, and try to move forward, without resorting to getting personal and calling names of one another.

I have apologised for asking you things multiple times, and I hope that you can take that in the spirit that it was meant.

I agree they were not poor teams

But do you think Napoli were good enough to win Serie A and Argentina winning the World Cup without Maradona in the team

Yes. Napoli didn't just sign Maradona, they surrounded him with talent. Argentina were a fine team with Maradona the shining star. He absolutely inspired both but you can't single-handedly win a league title in particular.

But those performances from Maradona when they won the World Cup were incredible
So i would say he practically single handedly won that World Cup for Argentina

Have you got any idea how many assists he made in that World Cup because i know he scored five goals

They were incredible, but to suggest he did it all himself is a disservice to Argentina and also Maradona himself, oversimplifying his talismanic role as part of a successful team.
