mistake fighting goal
I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.
soccer football goalkeepers
You were only a goalkeeper.
player goal champion
If I could apologise and go back and change history I would do. But the goal is still a goal, Argentina became world champions and I was the best player in the world
soccer hands goal
The goal was scored a little bit by the hand of God, another bit by the head of Maradona.
goal messi celebrate
Messi scores a goal and celebrates. Cristiano scores a goal and poses like he's in a shampoo commercial.
moments that-moment factors
Money is not a motivating factor. I do what comes to me at that moment.
world would-be debate
There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen - me or Pele. Everyone would say me.
football giving want
Carlitos is amazing. He does what he wants with the Arabs. He tells them "I want to go to Buenos Aires" and they say "No, Carlitos, stay here now, we'll give you more money". And then he gets more money!

I'll be too old to face a difficult championship as the one in America will surely be.

I'm not desperate but I know that some day I'll be the coach again of some team.

I certainly have an advantage over some because I can pass on so much from the World Cups I played in.

People who say that only young people voted on the Internet, those who didn't see Pele play, forget that children are not orphans. There's always a father who buys the computer and perhaps influences their vote. I won the people's vote.
running men world
To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world
