I wondered whether Diego Maradona could be the savior when he was named to coach the Argentine national team into the 2010 World Cup. He has had a host of personal problems since retiring, and one-time superstars rarely make the best coaches.
After four defeats in five games, the Argentine team is reeling. Maradona has sought refuge at an Italian spa. Some wonder whether he might relapse on his weight and drug problems.
There are several good articles on what's happening. Forget Cristina and Nestor Kirchner. The fate of the Argentine team -- and Maradona -- is the most important story in Argentina these days.
I doubt maradona himself understands what made him gret. I used to observe his "moments of glory" on the soccer field. He was gifted with the "Oscar de la Hoya" ability to deliver a barrage of moves [punches] when the opponent was expecting one-two's. This was what propelled Diego Maradona to invincibility at his prime. But I doubt he has the intellect to grasp the nature of his talent.
