Drama Maradona

An interesting article/blog in the Guardian about Diego Maradona's dramtic turn as head coach of Argentina's fĂștbol squad (Who will he play? Will he quit? Can he coach?). My favorite bit:
In his own extraordinary, egomaniacal way, Diego Maradona has lived by the motto 'Yes we can' all his life. Play football as easily as breathing? Yes we can. Ingest copious amounts of cocaine and enjoy as much female company as possible? Yes we can. Eat for Argentina? Yes we can. Shoot an air rifle at unwanted guests outside your house? Yes we can. Incite thousands to protest on the streets of Buenos Aires against the 'human garbage' otherwise known as George W Bush? Yes we can. Coach the Argentina national team to the World Cup success that came to him so naturally as a player? So sorry to be a killjoy, but no we probably can't.
