FIFA World Cup 2014 has ended but this doesn’t stop us from continuing our foolish discussions (better known as fights) about the players and the teams. As a football fan it’s my duty to begin/continue just another futile but important topic.
This guide might someday save a fight between some poor chap trying to make a conversation to break the awkward silence and some cold hearted stranger. What? Can’t I be a little optimistic?
So, here goes..
1. “Pele was greater than Maradona”
You just lost all our respect. Just for the sake of your puny brain let me tell you why this statement is more than incorrect. Pele was a great football player with a better ball skill BUT Maradona had a wide range of abilities including his lethal free kicks and Hulk-like strength. He was a better all rounder.
2. “Argentina supporters are arrogant”
I don’t know how long this hateful comment has been around the corner but I had a face to face encounter during this world cup only. So, I could come up with just one ridiculous reason and I will say this just one time: One song doesn’t decide everything!!
3. “Ronaldo is way better than Messi”
You just snatched our hearts, crushed them in a grinder and gave them to the stray dogs. To anyone who has ever used this in front of anybody, I have just one thing to say to you: You, sir, are stone cold, and if I ever meet you, I will slap you.
4. “You support Argentina just because of Messi”
Oh, aren’t you a member of the ignorant society?
Just to make it clear, many of us were on Argentina’s side because of Maradona. But now that a team has actually emerged, we are here for the team. We are just extremely lucky that Messi is a part of this team.
