Maradona to the world: "Suck it."

That's professional.

After a rather boring victory over Uruguay last night, Argentina secured their spot in the World Cup after some speculation that it might not have been a possibility. Given that they have been playing pathetically and that Diego Maradona is perhaps the most useless coach of all time, I wasn't really going to be surprised if they didn't make it to the World Cup. However, last night they managed to squeeze a little goal in there (by accident?) and beat Uruguay 1-0. I was secretly hoping Uruguay would win the game, basically because I'm evil. but it's fine.

Anyway. After the game, during the press conference with the media, Maradona took to his little podium with his fat little face and literally told anyone who didn't believe in him or the national team, to suck it. And to "keep on sucking it." This was on national tv. Great. Very professional.

Maradona is an embarrassment to Argentina and to their National Selection. Maybe instead of doing bellyflops in the rain on the soccer field (post-game against Peru), he could put the snacks down and actually put his brain into how to coach the team. It will be a miracle if they do well in the World Cup.
