Both had questioned his coaching methods and ability to coach. Fact is Diego could be the worlds worst coach and yet the Argentinian squad would listen and follow every word because he's Maradona. Every coach needs 10 inch thick skin and if anyones got that it's him me thinks...
Yes, definitely. It's funny that the higher you get in football, in one way the less coaching you need. I mean these guys know about picking up their men at corners. And old Diego, you can say that he's been there, done that, got the t-shirt ... the winner's medal, the quadruple bypass, the perforated septum -- and probably a whole lot of other sh!t that doesn't bear thinking about.
Still, I couldn't help wondering if he hadn't brought a little Peruvian marching powder with him in his underpants.
I watched Argentina train the other day, seems like they were having fun to me. There was a game they were playing, the theme of it was basically just kick the sh!t out of each other for a bit.
Sounds good. I don't know much about Argie football but I gather that some of their rivalries (Boca Juniors/River Plate) are in the Rangers/Celtic class. If they're taking lumps out of each other, it loosens that kind of stuff up.
I missed most of the SA game but I did see the sending off before. Did Suarez recive any attention for that gunshot he sustained?
Yes, well they didn't replay things all that much but the guy looked miles off-side in the first place. Tough break, what with the first goal being a deflection. But the third was an absolute beauty. As I say, I just wish they'd been able to lose with a bit more pride.
