Watching Maradona Warm Up is Worth the Price of Admission

By: Bob | February 2nd, 2007

Here’s some classic video of Diego Maradona getting his dance and tricks on as he warms up for a match. I think if you gave the man a football and sent him to a deserted island he would be quite content to entertain himself for months. It sure would be nice if some of the modern footballers played with that kind of joy.

  Actually, I think his desert island requirements might also include several hot women and a duffel bag full of cocaine. But the soccer ball would be right up there on the list.

  This is a great video. Like you say, the sheer joy. (For some reason what makes it for me are the untied shoes.)

  Awesome. He’s high as a kite, of course, but still — awesome.

  His dance reminds me of the Zissou.

  Don’t you just wish more players warmed up with a little pre-game Shakira-like hipshake during warmups? *drool*
