Shady

Now that South Korea, the United States, Mexico, and North Korea (in that order) are out of contention for the world cup, my valuable mojo has been directed towards Diego Maradona's Argentina.

Why? Perhaps the answer is most simply encapsulated in the simple picture above. It's just so real, so shady, so Maradona. Outsiders quietly judge and wonder how many kilos of candy have run through those nostrils. And this crew of Argentina's national coaches couldn't give a fook.

Plus, there is the story factor. One of the greatest ever, hater of the french, short in stature, fully embraced by the 80s, battles addiction, obesity, to help lead Argentina to the promised land again. However, this time as a coach.And along the way, takes his buddies from the 80s along for the ride. The story is just too good. And it can only get better if he's embraced again by modern pop culture and starts dating Paris Hilton.
