<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Maradona</strong></a> was loved and hated equally thanks to his game and personality, which often got him in trouble. Diego was very outspoken and he didn’t hesitate to say his opinion about anything, even going against popular things.</p>
<p>Four years ago, in 2016, Maradona revealed he wasn’t a fan of America’s popular show ‘<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/offside/2020-us-elections-recalling-all-the-times-donald-trump-appeared-on-the-simpsons-20201102-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>The Simpsons</strong></a>,’ going further and saying that he hated the animated series. This was a shock for everybody, especially knowing that The Simpsons are a very big deal in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/argentina-t30" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Argentina</strong></a>, but Diego wasn’t following the masses.</p>
<p>That started a verbal battle between Diego and Humberto Vélez, the voice actor that served as Homer Simpson’s voice from 1990 to 2005. At the time, Diego had some strong words for the show, making it clear that he didn’t like it.</p>
<h2>Diego Maradona goes after The Simpsons</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><em>“You can’t watch TV, but I say that I hate The Simpsons. I hate them, I hate them. I hate The Simpsons. I can’t watch them, because if not, I would see them,” Maradona said.</em></p>
<p>After that, Mr. Vélez had a little reply to Diego, sending an even stronger message to the soccer legend.</p>
<p><em>“Oh, I remember who that is, it’s the fat boy with mantits! The one who said he really likes The Simpsons,” Vélez replied.</em></p>
<p>After Vélez made those remarks, he was asked if The Simpsons were talking bad about Maradona, something that he strongly denied.</p>
<p><em>“I never spoke of him on the show because I don’t know him. Honestly, I don’t care about soccer, I care about more interesting and passionate sports. What he does is just silly. I don’t believe he’s at the same level as us,” Vélez said.</em></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>It’s unclear if Diego changed his mind about the show before he left this world, but 14 years ago, his position was very clear about The Simpsons. That sparked a verbal war between him and Homer Simpson and it doesn’t seem like they ever amended things.<span></span></p>

<p>The world still can’t fathom the fact that<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diego Maradona</a> </strong>is no longer around us. The mythical number 10 became a <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer-t81579" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soccer</a> legend ever since he left <strong>Boca Juniors</strong> to dominate Europe, and his magic transcended every single border.</p>
<p>That’s why <strong>even the British</strong> – his lifelong rivals – and some of it’s biggest representatives couldn’t help to tip their hat off to the late Argentine star, who suddenly passed away at 60 years old on Wednesday afternoon.</p>
<p><strong>Gary Lineker</strong> was one of the first to pay his respects to the <strong>Napoli</strong> legend. Then, it didn’t take long before former<strong> Manchester United</strong> and <strong>Real Madrid </strong>star <strong>David Beckham </strong>also shared his thoughts on social media.</p>

<p>His life off sports always made the headlines and not for the best reasons, but there’s no denying that few people could do what Maradona did once he took the pitch. Love him or hate him, you just can’t disrespect him. For better or worse,<strong> there will never be another like him, that’s for sure.</strong></p>

David Beckham pays respects to late Diego Maradona with a heartfelt post - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Maradona</strong></a> was a total scoring machine for Italian side <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/napoli-t111111" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Napoli</strong></a> in a time when the team weren’t one of the best squads in Italy. Maradona took that team to the top of Italy and Europe with his football and goal, becoming a total idol for the supporters.</p>
<p>Diego carried a Napoli team alongside <strong>Careca and Bruno Giordano</strong>, forming the ‘Ma-Gi-Ca’ association that gave plenty of joy to the Italian teamthat won the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/serie-a-t47163" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Serie A</strong></a> for the first time, as well as the UEFA Cup. He spent seven years with the Blues, cementing his legacy with the team while becoming one of the greatest players of all time.</p>
<p>He joined in 1984 and played there until 1991, becoming a complete idol for the Napolitains fans who worshipped Diego from the beginning through the end of his stint with the club. <strong>Diego scored 115 goals</strong> with the club and today, we’ll remember each one of them.</p>

Every goal Diego Maradona scored for Napoli

Every goal Diego Maradona scored for Napoli - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Maradona</strong></a> had a very moving life, some would say it was crazy, a complete rollercoaster, but all the things he lived helped him shape his vision of life. Truth be told, Diego had some interesting things to say about the world and nobody can deny that.</p>
<p>Now that he’s sadly gone, an old video of Diego has resurfaced of the time he asked himself about death. Back in 2005, Maradona had a variety show called ‘El Show del 10’, where he interviewed a lot of people, including Brazilian legend<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/pele-t148407" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pelé</strong></a>.</p>
<p>At the time, Diego had himself as a guest, dropping one of the deepest questions somebody has to answer. It wasn’t easy to reply to, but he managed to deliver a good answer, always thanking <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer-t81579" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soccer</a>and the ball for all the joy it brought to him.</p>
<h2>Diego Maradona asks himself about death in his own show</h2>

</div>
<p><em>“If you had to say something to yourself at your funeral, what would you say?”</em></p>
<p><em>“What would I say? And you’re asking me this?</em></p>
<p><em>“You brought up the subject! I didn’t speak about death. You did.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Thank you for playing soccer. It’s the sports that gave me the most happiness, liberty… It’s like touching the sky with my hands. Thanks to the ball. I’d put it on my tombstone. Thanks to the soccer ball.”</em></p>
<p>Then, Diego asked himself what he would like his ex-wife Claudia to say at his funeral and the answer wasn’t as easy as the first one. He took some time before finally speaking, delivering another great message.</p>
<p><em>“Even though you’re dead, I still love you,” Diego added.</em></p>
<p>This has to be one of the toughest videos to see right now. Diego left and he left a big mark behind. He’s irreplaceable and the world knows that. It’s incredible that he spoke about this topic 15 years ago and this video sums up what he thought all the time. The ball was sacred for Diego and nobody can change that.</p>

Diego Maradona asks himself about death in his own variety show - Bolavip US

<p>Believe it or not, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Maradona</strong></a> was an avid <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> fan and his fanaticism for basketball dates from long before we could even imagine. At the time his career was finishing, Diego was seeing the NBA and learning more about the sports, even becoming a supporter of one team.</p>
<p>Just like people know about him and what he did during his life, Diego knew a lot about the NBA, looking up to Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls while he became a fan of another franchise in the association.</p>
<p>Last year, during an interview, Diego revealed a big coincidence regarding <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/emanuel-ginobili-t138313" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Manu Ginobili</strong></a> and his NBA team. Maradona revealed he was a fan of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/san-antonio-spurs-t100707" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>San Antonio Spurs</strong></a> even before his fellow countryman landed in the team in 2003.</p>

<h2>Diego Maradona revealed the San Antonio Spurs were his favorite NBA team</h2>
<p>Maradona explained in an interview with “Líbero” that he was a San Antonio Spurs fan long before Manu arrived in the city from Italy. For Diego, it was Tim Duncan and David Robinson who made them a fan of the 5-time NBA champions.</p>
<p><em>“I was a Spurs supporter before Manu (Ginobili) came; when the Twin Towers were there, Tim Duncan and the admiral David Robinson,” Diego said.</em></p>
<p>Duncan and Robinson won two titles together, creating one of the best associations in the league at the time. When Manu landed in Texas, he won four championships with the team, becoming part of the best Big 3s in NBA history alongside Tim Duncan and Tony Parker.</p>
<p>Ginobili developed a great relationship with Maradona and his message after the latter’s death sums up how much Diego meant for him and the rest of the Argentine people. Diego left a huge mark on the world, something that will never change.</p>

Remembering when Diego Maradona revealed his favorite NBA team

Remembering when Diego Maradona revealed his favorite NBA team - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Maradona</strong></a> was one of the most influential sportsmen of all time with all the impressive things he did on the football pitch and his antics and controversies when he wasn’t playing soccer.</p>
<p>Diego became a legend in his sports, but he also inspired a lot of people from other disciplines to look for greatness the same way he did. Maradona also showed his admiration for other athletes throughout his life, especially <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> players, who always enchanted the <strong>1986 FIFA World Cup</strong> champion.</p>
<p>Last year, Diego joined TyC Sports’ “Líbero” to discuss a variety of topics. When asked about the NBA, he didn’t hesitate to talk about his favorite players, naming his favorite three of all time and showing his knowledge of the sport. “I love basketball,” he said back in the day.</p>

<h2>Diego Maradona named his three favorite NBA players</h2>
<p>When asked what celebrity he couldn’t meet, he mentioned golf legend Tiger Woods and NBA All-Time great <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Michael Jordan</strong></a>, an icon of basketball and sports in general, just like Diego himself.</p>
<p><em>“Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, even though they’re American. That’s not their fault,” he replied.</em></p>
<p>Moreover, he named two more names, two of the best players of our generations that have left a big mark on the game, LeBron James and Stephen Curry. The King and Chef Curry have gone at it several times, enchanting fans around the world. Maradona, curiously, was one of those.</p>
<p><em>“I have fun watching <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron--james-t27090" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a> and <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/stephen-curry-t132201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry</a>,</strong>” Maradona added.</em></p>
<p>Diego always enjoyed watching sports. You could see them supporting the Argentina national team in basketball, Argentine tennis players and more. Diego was a man of sports and he never hesitated to show his passion for his teams.</p>
<p>The world will certainly miss one of the greatest personalities we’ve seen in sports.</p>

"I love basketball": When Diego Maradona named his three favorite NBA players

<p>Back in 1986, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Armando Maradona</strong> </a>was already considered one of the greatest <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer-t81579" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soccer </a>players of all time. However, it wasn’t until <strong>6/22/1986 </strong>that he became the biggest legend in Argentina’s sports history, and one of the toughest rivals England could ever face.</p>
<p>Maradona and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/argentina-t30" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Argentina</strong></a> faced the British in the quarterfinals of the <strong>FIFA World Cup 1986</strong> in Mexico. The <em>Abliceleste </em>weren’t favored but <em>El Pelusa </em>took it upon himself to avenge his nation’s suffering after losing the <strong>Falklands war</strong> against England in 1982.</p>
<p>Number 10 had the greatest game of his impressive career by scoring a brace to lead Argentina past England and onto the semifinals, including the infamous<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/the-hand-of-god-diego-maradona-most-infamous-goal-20201125-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <em>‘Hand of God’</em></a> goal <strong>and the greatest goal in World Cup history as well.</strong></p>

<p>That’s why it was such a nice gesture from England to just bury the hatchet and bid farewell to the very guy that killed their World Cup aspirations 34 years ago, deeming him<strong> ‘a legend of the game’,</strong> and for very good reasons.</p>

<p>Maradona’s rise to stardom skyrocketed even more after his iconic performance vs. England. Ever since that day, he was known<strong> as a God among men,</strong> and one of the most beloved, iconic, and respected people in Argentina and among soccer fans, even if he may not be the biggest fan favorite for the British.</p>

<p>Up to this day, some people still debate whether Maradona is the greatest player of all-time ahead of <strong>Lionel Messi, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pelé</strong>, among others. And while that’s not for us to decide, it goes without saying that he’s – by far – one of the savviest, most skilled, and greatest entertainers to ever do it. For better or worse, there will never be another Diego Maradona.</p>

England national team pay respects to late Diego Maradona

England national team pay respects to late Diego Maradona - Bolavip US

<p>The world is shaken by the news of <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/diego-maradona-dead-argentine-star-passes-away-20201125-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the death of <strong>Diego Maradona</strong></a>, considered by many to be the greatest soccer player to ever play. Maradona scored many amazing goals <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/the-rollercoaster-career-of-diego-maradona-20201030-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in his career</a>, the first goal he scored against England in the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup was the subject of a lot of controversy. The second is the greatest goal in the history of the World Cup.</p>
<p>On June 22, 1986, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/argentina-t30" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a> and England met in a heated confrontation in the 1986 World Cup. The quarterfinals match was the <strong>first meeting between the two countries in a major tournament after the Falklands Island War. </strong>The play in question took place at the end of the first half, the game was tied 0-0 and Maradona was able to pass the ball to his teammate Jorge Valdano. Valdano tried to dribble past various English defenders, but the ball was intercepted and that is where Maradona came into play.</p>
<p>Maradona, who had been offsides when the ball was played, but the ball came off an English player which kept him onside, was able to jump up and anticipate the English goalkeeper Peter Shilton. He used his left arm to hit the ball into the English net and ran out celebrating, the goal stood, and the <strong>“Hand of God</strong>” was born.</p>

<p></p></div>
<h2>The Hand of God goal by Diego Maradona</h2>
<p>The “<strong>Hand of God</strong>” goal was met with much backlash by the English press and Maradona himself, who in later years admitted to using his hand to score, said that the play was not “cheating” but a form of advantage that South American soccer players use to win games.</p>
<p>Maradona has said many times that it was how he played when he and his friends played soccer before he was a professional. Maradona always looked for said “advantages”, which is very common in South American soccer players.</p>

Napoli want to rename San Paolo stadium after Diego Maradona

Napoli want to rename San Paolo stadium after Diego Maradona - Bolavip US

<p>Long before <strong>Lionel Messi</strong> took the world by storm, the whole planet was already in awe of another Argentinean superstar: <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diego Armando Maradona</a>, </strong>who some still believe is the greatest <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer-t81579" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soccer</a> player to ever do it.</p>
<p>They were often compared and at times antagonized, but Messi and Maradona held a close relationship through most of their careers. In fact, Maradona even coached him and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/argentina-t30" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Argentina</strong></a> en route and during the<strong> 2010 FIFA World Cup.</strong></p>
<p>That’s why the world was expecting to see what Messi had to say in the wake of Maradona’s sudden passing, and even though it took him a while to come through, <strong>number 10 eventually shared his thoughts on social media.</strong></p>

<h2>Lionel Messi Shares Heartbreaking Message Amid Diego Maradona’s Passing</h2>
<p><em>“It’s a very sad day for all Argentineans and for soccer. He’s leaving us but he’s not gone, because <strong>El Diego is forever.</strong> I will cherish the great moments we lived together and I want to send my best wishes to his family and friends. RIP,” </em>The Barcelona star wrote.</p>
<p>People were giving Messi a hard time for how long it took him to react to his idol’s and friend’s passing. Then again,<strong> we can’t judge him </strong>and we just don’t know how difficult it must be for those who met him, especially for Messi.</p>

<p>Messi and Maradona will go down as number one and two when people discuss the greatest South American players of all time, and both will definitely crack the top 3 when they discuss the greatest overall. As for the order, it’s not for us to decide nor it’s the time or place to talk about that. <strong>RIP, Diego.</strong></p>

A debate that continues today, even with the emergence of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.</p>
<p>Even though <strong>Pelé</strong> <strong>and Maradona </strong>played in different eras, both were recognized as the best of all-time for different reasons. Their relationship was rocky, at times they confronted each other with regards to choices made off the field and Pelé’s relationship to FIFA.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, Pelé did appear in Diego Maradona’s variety show “La Noche del 10” in 2005 and shared a wonderful moment.

Pelé reacts to the death of Diego Maradona - Bolavip US

<p>Long before <strong>Lionel Messi</strong> was even born, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Maradona</strong> </a>had established as not only the greatest Argentine player of all time, but also as one of the best and most skilled players in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer-t81579" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soccer </a>history.</p>
<p>Maradona led his country to a win in the <strong>1986 FIFA World Cup at Mexico </strong>and starred inthree other editions. However, he had to say goodbye to his team in the most infamous way after a failed drug test in 1994.</p>
<p><strong><em>El Diego</em> tested positive forephedrine doping</strong> and even though he claimed he was set up – and it clearly seemed like FIFA were looking to make an example out of him and taint his legacy – he just couldn’t play again in that edition.</p>

<h2>Diego Maradona Scored His Last Goal With Argentina In The USA</h2>
<p>That’s why those who were in attendance at Foxborough during that group stage game between <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/argentina-t30" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Argentina</a> and Greece </strong>actually had the honor to witness <strong>Maradona’s last goal with his national team. Ever.</strong></p>
<p>Diego got a nice assist by <strong>Fernando Redondo</strong> and sent a strong shot past the Greekkeeper. Then, he had one of his most iconic celebrations, running and screaming towards the camera to silence his critics.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-60">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Maradona would go on to play in Argentina’s next clash vs. <strong>Nigeria,</strong> handing out a couple of assists to lead his team to a 2-1 win even at his 34 years. Sadly, he would never find the bottom of the nets again with his beloved nation.</p>

<p>It was pretty clear that the <strong>Argentine supersta</strong>r was a different kind of talent from the very second he set foot on a soccer pitch. However, he took it up a notch during warmups when he was a rising star at <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/napoli-t111111" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Napoli.</strong></a></p>
<p>The lefty impressed the world when Napoli was set to face<strong> Bayern Munchen</strong> at Germany for the <strong>UEFA Cup</strong>. Given their history and the fact that they were set to meet one of the biggest clubs in Europe, it was normal to think that most of their players would be worried.</p>

To put the cherry on top of the sundae, Napoli beat Bayern 2-0 and went on to defeat Stuttgart to win <strong>their first and only UEFA Cup trophy.</strong></p>
