A player named Maradona is best known for his "hand of god” in the finals for the world were on a corner kick wall the ref was not looking
he hit the ball in with his hand and his team own the world cup later on this play was called "the hand of god”. Maradona called it that because he said that god wanted his team to win. Many people don’t believe this but Maradona did. That was how his team won the world cup. a move was also named after Maradona it is where the player rolls the ball with his/her feet then twirls the ball the other way Maradona used this move a lot that is why the move was named after him. Maradona is named the world’s 4th best soccer player. Many people say he does not deserve this rank because of his cheating. Even though he cheated, I think he still deserves the rank. My favorite player is Messi. He is probably the cockiest player ever. He broke the world record for most goals scored in a year. He scored 75 goals with his left foot 8 with his right and 3 with his head. Messi's rival player is Ronaldo. He is also cocky. He plays for real Madrid it is FC Barcelona’s rival team. When Messi plays Ronaldo one gets thrown out in max 45 min. Real Madrid usually wins. Neymar is the third best player in the world. He plays like an Italian but is very skilled. He is the only good player without problems. (if I wrote it down I would probably get grounded.) Neymar plays a bit rough, but if anyone does it to him he rolls around 3 times hugging his knee (what the Italian teams do). My least favorite player is Ronaldo. He’s really good but I don’t care I love it I love it. Sorry I like that song. He has the best shot ever, save Pelé. Pelé has the best header ever. Many people say he is the best player of all time but I think Messi is the best ever in the world. Look up world wost saves/goals and you can find the play it is so weird that it scored. My favorite goalie is Lev Yashin he is a Russian goalie that was scored on 10 times in his career. It is a world record his rival is Gordon banks he has had 70 goals scored in his career that is the closest to Lev Yashins 10 goals. The record for most goals scored in a career was 1137.
