Maradona Unhappy with Lux Left Out

May 20th, 2006 | By: WC Bob | 48 Comments »

Maradona has come out and voiced his surprise that keeper German Lux was not named to Argentina’s World Cup team. He said:

“I am with Lux until the death. It is unjust for a player who has had a football career like he has. It is the coach who decides the players who will travel to Germany and so Pekerman is the one who has put himself at risk. Whether his decision is right will depend on the results that the team obtain in the World Cup.”

Whether or not he is right, I wish he wouldn’t have made these comments. The squad has been selected. We all have our questions about it, but it is time to rally and support the guys who were chosen. Lux is still young. If he works hard he’ll get his chance in the future.

Omar, it’s obvious that Lux was the keeper at the olympics…

Also, i prefer Tevez to saviola. But you’ll see: Saviola could really be on the starting line up with Crespo.

Lucho is an artist, he’s a techinician. Definitely: Lucho>>> Maxi Rodriguez

maxilopez,
i’m sure that i have seen ABBO in the final match against Paraguay at the Olympic football!
Peker still thinking in the U-20level, u remember we have seen Ghana, Nigeria, Qatar etc playing the final . he has a big name in this side only, heavy competitions like WC is completely different, saviola 1m55 with 50 kg ! ! ! !how can he play aginst Ned, Serbia and Ivory Coast difendres in thier group! ! even goal scoring and skills is far compared with Messi or Tevez, maybe he has good ball controlling compared with Crespo , but Crespo is better i think even Cruz is better than him, how can he play ahead of these 4 FWs !? he was great striker in U_20 but now he should no longer be selected.
football needs physical , stamina and, great skills with the minimum physical and stamina, Saviola doesn’t have the minimum requirements !
again Mr Peker still a junior coach in such competitions , he should not make big mistakes as he recommended donkey Beilsa to be a coach for 6 years ! Otherwise he should take advices from Sir C.Bilardo, Sir Menoti and Sir Alfio Basile! the best 3 Argentina’s coaches in Argentina’s wc history

“omar” u must believe that german lux was the unbeaten keeper not pato, check this = http://www.fifa.com/en/comp/index/0,2442,102892,00.html?comp=OLY&year=2004&articleid=102892

pato was not even there in the team http://www.fifa.com/en/comp/Olysquad/0,3713,ARG-OLY-2004-8229-9,00.html

as for “JP”, tevez scored 8 goals not 6 goals http://www.fifa.com/en/comp/Oly2004GoalScorers/0,3776,OLY-2004,00.html

Lol,amigo,Pele did not play volleyball to score a goal ever. Maradona,on his{M.}admitted to {la mano de Dios}cheating. So M. is not fit to tie Pele’s boots. Drugs,well,M. was kicked out of the world cup because he was not good enough to play like Pele,who played fair and square,amigo. Smell the coffee. Let the facts speak not your emotions. And one more thing,Viva Brasil hoy y siempre.

Dino:

Only Brazilians and idiots think Pele was even in the same league as Maradona…

Watch some videos…better yet show some videos to totally disinterested third parties and see what they think. There isn’t one who would say Pele was close. It’s like saying Joe Barry was better than Jordan…different era, different skills. Maradona took two mediocre teams to the World Cup finals as well.

Maradona will forever be the greatest! Better than Pele for sure. Pele won the World Cup with a great team, Diego won it with a mediocre team.
But even if Diego is the best player in the history of football, he is stupid. Most of his comments are stupid at least. The thing with Lux…I think Lux is a terrible keeper, like all Argentine keepers.
This is our weakest spot, no doubt!

Fuck off! Go away, Pelé played in the 60’s , there was no defence at the time, he never played in europe, Tevez is doing as good as him in Brazil while defenses are much stronger today.
Pelé is a great one but stop bullshit, at his time the level of footbal was very, very low.
Diego is the greatest.

Omar:
You’re a fucking lyer ! I released this formation a long time ago, before you, just take few minutes to read my previous posts. Moreover you’re arrogant, you criticize Saviola for his physical, but Diego armando Maradonna himself was shorter than him! You’really don’t know football. It’s useless to talk to you, please stop this.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO GAVE THIS FORMATION WITH ME WAS LOL, HE KNOWS FOOTBALL TOO, ALTHOUGH I SOMETIMES DISAGREE WITH HIM.
Dino:
Ok Maradonna cheated, but who does not ? Drugs ? No link with football! WC 94 doping ? It was because he was ill he took medecine which you can find by yourself in medecine shop. Moreover, in the sixties, there was not a lot of anti-doping control (was there ?), and whatever it was a grandfather game, every body was WALKING on the court, the pace was too slow, it was uselesse to take medicine.

Maradonna and Pele?? The difference is….. Pele is shit, while Maradona is God.Pele Played his whole life in Brazil and america wid the best club in that country.
Maradonna proved time and again and won the WC singlehandedly and his works wid Napoli are Stories of Legends!

pele and maradona are from two different eras.. both the greatest.. CUT OUT THIS STUPID AND ENDLESS ARGUMENT…. does it really make you feel so much better to say maradona was great and pele sucked? give me a break….

obviously they were both great…no need to put down the other… no need for maradona supporters to get so incredibly sensitive to any minor criticisms of the guy…

and i never understand how maradona worshippers rationalize his acts in 1994.. he let down the entire team! when argentina loses to colombia 5-0 basile is pressured to call in maradona which he had not intended to do….with maradona the whole team makeup changes of course…. the team is built around him.. then maradona blows it in 94 (even if he took cold medicine or whatever you can’t be that stupid. you have to know what you are putting in your body) and lets down the team…

come on guys lets be a little more serious here..its a good blog but for the maradona worship and pele bashing go to a maradona blog, no? we’re here to discuss the argentina team and the 2006 world cup

the past is the past..

This is a shit debate. Who really cares if Maradona is better than Pele. No one here did see Pele play!

I love Lux. He knows what is really important: he told the press that not going to the world cup wasn’t important because he lost his brother who suicided himself some years ago… Fuck you Pekerman.

For sure, I am disapointed by what Pele said about himself (”God made Mozart, Michellangello, he also made pelé”). I didn’t know it, in Fact very few people have seen pele playing, anyway at his time football was less physical, players needed less stamina and in brazil particulary, defenses did not exist, so the 1000 goals are a legend and are not to compare with (for example) Batistuta’s 355 goals in 600 matches against the toughest defences in Serie A. In brazilian league in the sixties, with 1300 games (like pelé) for sure he would have scored as much as pelé(1284). If you compare the average goal per game in the serie A in the 90’s 1.7 and the avg in brazil 60’s : 3.8 , Batigol would have scored 1584 goals…..
Pelé played in his country ONLY, he won world cups near great players. At the time there was much less young men trying to get professional because there was much less money, the level of play was LOW. Don’t lie to yourself, pelé is a fine talker who managed very well his carrer after his player carreer. He’s a politic man, he was good at HIS time. He profits there was very few game to watch on TV at the time, the absence of proof and witness allowed him to build the cleanest appearence, it’s very easy to proclam himself “the king” while nobody had attented (or so few) the games he played.
He seems a manipulator with a way to communicate who make us remember the dictators.
Even Ronaldo does not enjoy pelé.

Maradona is much better than pele because of what he did with napoli, where is napoli after him, as far for the forwrds i would like to see tevez, crespo, and messi behind them. I am still worried about requelme role, he might be a the best passer in the world but he does not defend a lot, i am afraid that aregentina team is to aggressive and bresil is more balanced, we will see i have been watching bresil, they get 2 goal and they take 3, there defensive line, need some work. and Veron should ve been picked he played good with inter this year

jp How come Maradona went crying to Fifa when Pele was going to be selected as best player. Maradona did not even shake Pele’s hand. Until,after the politics,Maradona tied Pele in votes. Sour grapes. Look at Pele’s record in # of goals,helping Brasil and his influence. Ask a novice or a non futbol fan who is Pele and who is Maradona. The person will remember Pele not Maradona. Do a survey. See the results. And one more thing-Viva Brasil.

wandiego10,amigo{I take that back}You are not my friend since you get mad and say bad words. Be respectfull and stick to the topic. I touched a nerve. I am 51 saw Pele play in Honduras,Mexico and in Canada. Different era better player is Pele than Maradona. Maradona was a notch below Pele. Maradona cheated and as a Latino I am ashamed because of what he did to England-La mano de Dios=The hand of God -goal but really no goal. He also played in Italy high on drugs and in the cup high on drugs. That may or may not have helped him play better. And one more thing -Viva Brasil. Let us not stoop so low as to get personal. Take a chill pill. Enjoy the beautiful juego. Peace.

Dino, you are not intelligent !
Like everybody the only disadvantage of maradonna is his BAD BEHAVIOUR. As a man pelé is better than maradonna, of course. But we ‘re talking about football abilities, diego is the best of all times. Don’t talk shit, drugs, hand of god, it’s not link with the talent of the footballer, I let you think: If maradonna was a good person, if he had not taken drugs, he would have been even greater. Each time the same critics: drugs, hand of god, fuck those things, I don’t care about, he’s human, who did not cheat on the pitch ? Everybody cheats on the court, his personnal life is his. On the pitch, maradonna is not equaled, pelé played in brasil where there is NO DEFENCE.
Fuck you, fuck brasil
VAMOS ARGENTINA

Who will win the WC ?????
It’s Hard to say that Argentina has less chances to win this WC compared with Brazil, this is the truth we have to say it, it’s also hard to say that the WC winner will be an European country once the tournament organized in Europe( the hosts Germany- Nederland-Italy-and maybe UK) have great chances to win along with Brazil.
as we see in each WC there is a team which makes a great surprise to reach the semi final ( like Turkey in 2002-Coratia in 98 -Bulgaria 94) - so this time hopefully not be ( Serbia) - then i can say it’s maybe (Czech- Croatia -Sweden and Poland)
Nederland will be surely qualified who will be the second team?
Argentina has to win the first 2 matches NO WAY if they want to qualify
