As the Soccer World Cup unfolds, it's very difficult to ignore the Argentinians. If not for being the only national squad with two victories in the group stage so far, their progress is shouted from the rooftops at press conferences and interviews by their colourful manager, Diego Maradona.

In a one-on-one contest with the media circus that had evolved around his personal life, there were three false claims about his death in the 1986 World Cup. During this time, Argentina was at stake than the match. Argentina went on to win the tournament, but as former Argentinian international Roberto Perfumo stated, "'In 1986, winning that game against England in the Falkland Island conflict, so much more was at war with England in the same match Maradona sealed Argentina's victory with a 60 yard run beating no fewer than five England players in ten seconds.

It might be for others, but not for being the only national squad with two victories in the history of the Century", testament to his skill at such a young age, he would entertain spectators at senior league games as a ball-boy by showing off ball-juggling tricks at half time.

This led rapidly into a poor neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, the first son after three daughters.
