FIFA Interviews Maradona… and cannot stop asking about Brazil!
FIFA published the second part of the interview with Diego Maradona, Argentina’s god and coach. The funny part is, FIFA would not stop asking questions about Brazil. Ok, Brazil plays Argentina on September 5th and if Brazil wins, Seleção already qualifies for the World Cup while Argentina would be in serious trouble (could this cost [...]
Is Romario Broke?

Today he pretty much told France’s L’Equipe that no one else deserves France Football’s Ballo D’Or but him (he’s a simple guy, you know…). He says he has had a stable year [...]
