It is difficult to discuss Argentina without talking about Diego Maradona: The man who gave Argentina its second World Cup in 1986 , the drug addict, the man who used Osama bin Laden's mask in a party right after September 11th, Fidel Castro's friend and the current coach of Argentina's national team.
Days ago he was, once again, on every headline after attacking the media for criticising him. "Suck it," he said, among other things ... and now FIFA is investigating his outburst. Maradona continues to be loved as a football player but many here in Buenos Aires are embarrassed of his words and of his performance as the coach of something so important for Argentina as its national team.
