"If we in the World Cup, I'll get naked and run around the Obelisk" - Diego Maradona
Thankfully his coaching abilities should prevent any impromptu appearances of Little Diego at the Obelisk, this can't be said for any unsuspecting women, South African or Argentinean, so women, lock your doors and watch out when Big Diego comes tumblin' through.
Also you can make your own jokes about the phallic nature of Buenos Aires Obelisk
(a tall, four sided landmark that was constructed to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city) but his comments shouldn't come as a surprise when you consider the belly flop he did after a win versus Peru (a rather important win, but still). What we can only hope is he doesn't combine the two celebrations, with all that flesh flying around, someones bound to lose an eye (and their lunch).
Maradona even left Messi (World Player Of The Year no less) out of the game for fear he'd get hurt, unwilling to risk an untimely injury to his talented playmaker. Reportedly Maradona told Messi on him not playing "If something had happened to you in that match, I'd of been shot - you know where".
More and more everyday, this World Cup is becoming one which though hosted in South Africa, but held in the traveling circus on the outskirts of town known as 'Maradonaland' and we won't know until it's over whether it was a decent enough performance or whether the lion bit off the head off the trainer.
The good money's on the lion (hopefully Three Lions).
