Diego Maradona

Although there a much debate about the “Hand Of God” in the World Cup 1986, Maradona is nevertheless one of the best soccer player in the world.

Taken Wikipedia:

“Short and stocky, Maradona had a very strong physique and could withstand physical pressure better than almost all players. His strong legs and low center of gravity gave him additional advantage in short sprints. This is illustrated by his two goals against Belgium in the 1986 World Cup.

He was also a wizard with the ball and could manage himself in limited spaces, attracting defenders only to quickly dash out of the melee (as in the second goal against England), or pass to a free teammate who would take the ball and score, like Burruchaga did to secure the 1986 World Cup.

Maradona could convert fragile possessions into goals. His goal against Italy in the 1986 World Cup demonstrated this. In Maradona's time defenses became more athletic, so both dribbling and securing possession of the ball required additional speed and the ability to think under stress.

One of Maradona's trademark moves (beside his infamous Hand of God) was dribbling full-speed as a left wing, and on reaching the opponent's goal line, delivering accurate passes to his teammates that many times proved lethal. Another trademark was the Rabona or reverse-cross pass (shot behind the leg that holds all the weight), with which he provided several assists, such as the powerful cross for Ramón Díaz's headed goal in the 1984 friendly match against Switzerland.

Maradona's kicking had a mixture of precision and power that enabled him to score many free kicks. Since he seldom used his right foot for any decisive action, defenders were confounded the few times he did.

Maradona is known to be for his “goal of the century”, passing five English defenders and managing to score with the goal intact. What makes Maradona an important figure is not because of his Argentina roots, it was his shortness that erupted the world. A small soccer player, Maradona conquer with his strength and determination.”

“He is someone many people want to emulate, a controversial figure, loved, hated, who stirs great upheaval, especially in Argentina... Stressing his personal life is a mistake. Maradona has no peers inside the pitch, but he has turned his life into a show, and is now living a personal ordeal that should not be imitated.” Jorge Valdano

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King was a political activist, emerging during America prejudices era against African Americans. King was a highly recognize for the achievements within the academic world at the time African America had to work harsh to get a better education.

What is to say but see Martin Luther King as a powerful figure and despite after his death, there is rumors spreading about King being seen as an evil person. Yet in my liberal heart, this is the person I have seen of calling him Jesus, our savior from the confused world. One day, in hopes of seeing a true human face the odds, it is only admirable to hear his story of going against hell just for the good of mankind.

“Martin Luther King, thank thee for the beard of harmony and the death of agony, although still it battles on in the system.” Unknown Requiem
