They had team plans dedicated to mark them.
Never worked.
Pele is a freak compared to players and athletes today, imagine what would it have been like 50-60 years back

But never won. More Argentinians remember winning this cup with Maradona than playing the finals three times with Messi

Maradona was something else mate, he played at a time when you could break someone¡¯s leg and get away with it. Also the offside rule was different back then.

Maradona not so cool now. Some South Korea fans just shouted ¡°Diego¡± and he obliged with a smile, kiss and wave. Then pulled his eyes to the side in a clearly racist gesture. All of us who saw it are stunned.
