Guess i am saying would of liked to have seen him in one of the big euporuan teams and see if his style of play was multi cultural.

That's your opinion but the base on which you've set your arguement is not very solid, concentrate on what the player 'did' rather than the conditions he did it in. would you rather score 14 goals with one world cup? or score 12 with 3 world cup titles and 15 assists? I know who I think's the best there.
p.s. Muller did that in 13 games, still impressive all the same.

In them days South American football was considered more challenging than Europe, the big money came into the European game few years after Pele quit Santos FC.

you clearly have a tinted view of maradonna's carrer. He's my all time fave.
Why, all he ever did was win 1 title and he cheated to do that... as for the other goal against England... I saw a Saudi Arabian do that in USA 94... I saw Thierry Henry do that against the future Eurpean Cup holders, I saw Ryan Giggs do that against Arsenal, I saw Ruud van Nistelhorse do that against Spurs blah blah blah... he is/was a cheating drug addict decent player, very very good no doubt, but never one of the best of all time...
Muller
Neeskens
Cruyff
Pele
Platini
Ronaldo
Zidane
All rank higher in my opinion

Ronaldo in his younger years, especially at Barcelona was a goal machine.

Oh for God's sake. Try knowing the facts before putting a great player down like that. FFS

In Maradona's defence his playing record is very good, in his early career, don't take much notice of the latter druggy years.....
Argentina Jrs, 166 games 116 goals
Boca Jrs, 40 games 28 goals
Barcelona, 58 games 38 goals
Napoli, 289 games 115 goals
Sevilla, 29 games 7 goals
went on a slump at Newells Old Boys, didn't score in over 100 odd games but he was played as an anchorman in midfield as he wasn't as fit.
Boca Jrs, 29 games 8 goals
Argentina, 91 games 34 goals.
