At the time it was quite incredible, but it's also dated.

You could find street footballers who spend hours practicing tricks like that do it better than Diego. I remember the Brazilian national team applauding two such young chaps from London who did a trick demonstration prior to an international mostly because none of them could do something similar.

And keep in mind that I consider him the second greatest player ever, it's not like I don't recognize his genius.
