@Upsettheapple @Saganismm Deciding what is significant to the universe or not is surely anthropomorphizing the universe, is it not?

[Kevin Kilbane @kdkilbane77]

We never saw Pele play so it’s hard for us to judge.

Always Maradona for me.

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@Briankeating @StephenCMeyer Thoroughly enjoy your podcasts, the Roman Yampolskiy one was superb and extremely concerning at the same time

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@Hamad60606060 😂 wtf. It’s called a football opinion, that’s all. You get outside much?

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

Messi is a genius of course but Maradona will always be above him for me. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of my youth that causes me to think that way but Maradona penetrated the consciousness and the hearts of Argentinians in a way that Messi didn’t. Maradona brought genius and brought chaos, a chaos that people at all levels of society can relate to, a chaos that humanized him. Messi is a genius but like a robot.

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@F1000Fitz I’m not sure you’re qualified to make that assessment about me

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@DavidCarvi14183 @Loulameg It’s not his job to be a role model to someone else’s kids he didn’t bring in to this world, that’s their parents job. Lots of kids grew up during that era and turned out fine despite Diego’s imperfections

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@james198428 To be a national icon you need to be much more than a consistent footballer

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@wizard_waterloo People relate to flaws and dysfunction and anyone who you think doesn’t have those, you’re dead wrong about. The richest man in the world is a drug addict

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@wizard_waterloo There are lots of good guys drinking alcohol and that kills more people than every other drug combined. There are lots of sober scumbags, they’re completely separate issues

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@Loulameg @JoshMillward20 I don’t know but I had an addiction to painkillers years ago and it happened immediately after I walked in and found my wife dead so I’m sympathetic to people who self medicate because I’m no better

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

@Loulameg I can understand the English being upset at his handball but I don’t care about his cocaine addiction. That is a pathology and lots of exceptional human beings have battled addiction. In many ways, that made him more endearing to a lot of people because it humanized him

[Pilib De Brún (Phil Brown) @Malachians]

Thank you for the follow also. I appreciate the kind words over my follower count but be in no doubt, you are significantly more talented than people with large follower counts that are filled with bots and who got those followers from posting fast food content. Good Journalism is informative and not always sexy but it’s the right way to be. Good luck my friend, I loved your response

That’s a fair point, legacies usually aren’t determined until you stop playing but i think Maradona also benefited from emerging at the perfect time. The Argentinian junta had just happened as well as the Malvinas, he was a huge source of national pride at that time. I think the fact that Messi left Argentina so young didn’t help him either

[Daniel Yomi 🤴 @LordDan94]

I understand that view. Maradona was more than a footballer to many Argentinians because he became a symbol of defiance, passion, struggle, and national identity. His flaws were visible, his life was turbulent, and that made him feel deeply human to people who saw parts of themselves in him.

Messi's genius is different. He represents consistency, discipline, and quiet excellence. He rarely creates headlines away from football, so his personality can seem less dramatic or mythic by comparison.

The interesting thing is that greatness in sport is not only measured by trophies or statistics. It's also measured by emotional impact. For many, Maradona remains untouchable because of what he made them feel, while Messi's case rests more on what he has achieved and sustained over time. Both are extraordinary, but they resonate with people in very different ways.
