Therefore, anything Western he hates, anything "1st World" is terrible. So for someone to transform a hand ball felt round the world to a political point relevant to the in crowd 20 years later is blatantly recreating history. But. Maradona is the greatest player to ever play the game. Hands down. That video is one of my personal favs. Let me put this in perspective – Maradona, though an Icon to our people, has been looking for the spotlight in the political arena, and uses his limited knowledge to support leftist communist movements.

I just watched "Maradona - The Hand of God" last night and found it a bit more focused on the person and not the player. It was produced in Argentina and was decent. Not sure I would recommend it but for all of us football enthusiasts, especially the Argentine ones, it's worth a look back at the events that shaped our footballing history of the last 20-30 or so years.
