All Eyes on Maradona Today
There are whatever comely world cup qualifiers on today, in aggregation and CONCACAF. And there are whatever bounteous friendlies event too. Germany vs England and Brazil vs Portugal countenance Brobdingnagian on paper. But easily the most engrossing mettlesome of the period is Scotland vs Argentina. It’s not ofttimes you crapper feature that, and it’s every downbound to digit man: Diego Armando Maradona and his entry as Argentina coach.
El Diego’s already without key players same person Messi, Juan romish Riquelme and doable forthcoming son in accumulation Sergio Aguero (who’s mitt the unit to be with Maradona’s daughter, who he knocked up a patch back). And because episode seems to study the Negro wherever he goes, today Maradona is covering an older opponent for the mitt instance in 22 years. An provoked Terry Butcher.
Butcher is supporter trainer on the Scotland team, and was activity for England when Maradona scored his famous Hand of God content at the 1986 World Cup:
And Butcher ease seems a taste sore most it.

“But, no, it’s absent today and, patch we module never forget, it’s not most that game. I haven’t got a Maradona chick that I study pins in every day, I don’t requirement medicine help,” he added.
Methinks the supporter trainer doth oppose likewise much. And let’s wish he’s joking most the “fist of Terry Butcher”.
Maradona responded in his customary smooth way:
“I’m not feat to essay him out. I don’t undergo ground Butcher has condemned this attitude. I don’t quite understand. I module permit Butcher intend on with his chronicle and I’ll intend on with mine.
“I’m not feat to retrograde some rest over it. If he doesn’t stir my hand, I’ll ease be aware tomorrow.”
