Not sure if his fancy scarf cape actually had anything to do with his teams heroics against Uruguay, but Super Diego can now return to his outpost as Argentina’s only living god and continue to live a humble life of morality whilst helping his country’s needy… by which I mean fight against journos and make the obligatory “I did it for my country” remarks! Source Goal.com:
They [journalists] treat me like dirt, but we qualified with honour. I dedicate this to all of the Argentinian people and my family, but one sector does not deserve it [referring to journalists] because they treated me like garbage. They invented fights with [Carlos] Bilardo, among other things.
It scares me to no end that a “coach” of Maradona’s quality(?) couldn’t get a team of serious superstars kicking some major ass and not qualifying sooner. There was too much attention heaped on Deigo’s battles with everything and it almost hindered the teams chances of qualifying. Surely the alarm bells are ringing!
If any other coach in the world was in his predicament, at the very least they would been challenged to a sword fight by ancient gladiators, then tied to the back of a horsed chariot and driven around their respective countries for fans to lynch… you know just to drill home the point that incompetence and a loud mouth isn’t tolerated!
NOTE: If Argentina want to perform even better in South Africa the first bit of baggage they should throw off the plane is Diego… don’t worry he has a cape!
