Maradona dead!!!

I see no problem with the fans selfies by the coffin either. Very tastefully done IMO.

Diego well enough presented too.

Cheat. Nothing else to say about him.

What gets me is all the tributes to Maradonna and hardly a mention of Gary Speed (his anniversary on Friday ) RIP Gary

All the usual faces saying oh you cant blame maradona he tried his luck and got away with it even though he did similar at Italia 90 to stop the USSR going 1-0 up and probably knocking argentina out when he punched the ball off the line again right in front of the referee and i remember a few more handballs in serie A. The referee didnt have a clue back in mexico 86 a huge QF like that should have had a much more experienced referee and when he said he looked over to his linesman for help and he was stood there perfectly still even though on the footage you can see him running towards the halfway line

Out of the 3 funeral workers who opened the coffin and took selfies with the body, 2 are dead and the other is in a critical condition after the Boca Juniors ultras got hold of them.

Words fail me.

FIFA were to blame. With so many good officials around the world, they choose 2 who were not up to the job for the World Cup QF.

With some basic honesty and competence from the game’s governing bodies, football could be so much better.

Its a shame we didnt get that Italian referee who did the Uruguay v Argentina match he ruled out a handball goal for Argentina in that match so was clearly on the ball.
