Don't mess with the Maradona

Love him or hate him, you never get a boring moment when Diego Maradona flexes his ego. Whether its belly-flopping in the rain in celebration or telling a journalist to keep on sucking, it's been an emotional qualification campaign for the best footballer of all time who was also a pretty decent drugs fiend too. His latest vocal outburst concerns his nations footballing journalists not-so-cute criticism of his tactics, selection and general performance as the Argentine boss.
He's not very good at coaching. Ok, so his record doesn't look too shabby on paper - Played 13 Won 9 Lost 4 - but considering the wealth of talent at his disposal, Argentina have looked disjointed and clumsy. And I can hardly ever say I agree with some of his ethics on and off the pitch, but I found his assault on the question-asking-reporter quite delightful. Diego is a massive melting pot. I hope we get Argentina in the World Cup.
FIFA are investigating this and he faces a 5-match ban apparently. He wouldn't change a thing. All black and white to Diego.

Diego = Fruitloop
Haha what a fucking loon that man is!
Brilliant viewing.
Why is there a fit woman standing behind him?
I was wondering that too. Maybe a demonstration of the sucking followed the post-match interview?
It would have been great if she was massaging his shoulders whilst Diego ranted, puffing on a big fat cigar.
He missed a trick there.
The only word for this sozzled hypocritical cheating pathetic twirp is . . .WANKER!!!!
Even the fact that he was (was!!!) a halfway decent player in his day does not rescue or excuse him for the crap he has heaped upon us and himself throughout his sorry, sad little life.
What a legend lol
FIFA are the real wankers in this situation. Who cares what Maradona said? My only complaint is that he wasn't chomping on a cigar.
KENBEN - ''halfway decent player' !!!!! - Are you 12 years old? Obnoxious, eccentric and unfortunately Argentinian he maybe, but he is still the most gifted footballer to ever walk the earth. I suggest you get on youtube or hire a DVD. Yes, now (like most gifted players) he's turned into a shit manager, bit at least he's entertaining.
Agreed. Absolute beast of a player, easily the best of the modern era.
On his day as a player, he eclipsed the talent most of the current crop. Maybe he was even the last of the 'luxury players' at international level certainly with a prodigious talent like that.
However, he's have been better off managing columbia than argentina, the perks might have been better, and clearly the guy is now 'a Peter Beardsley short of a Quasimodo'.
