A shock, and not a shock. Very sad, such a great player.

On one leg he had a tattoo of Che, on the other of Castro.

Perfect.
Because Wednesday is trash day.

I consider him to be a tragic hero of sorts. Deeply flawed, but a great player nonetheless.

Just goes to show that athletic talent, like acting skill, can coincide with terrible deficiencies in other dimensions.

Somehow I don't think they're mourning in England.

Soccer, the sport of the third world.

Hand of God.

I hate soccer but know enough from friends to know who this all time cheater was.

According to Liam Gallagher (of the band Oasis): He was told by Maradona’s interpreter at a party: “[Maradona] told me to tell you, if you leave with any of his b*tches, he’ll have you shot.”

RIP.

I was hoping it was someone else.

Condolences to family and friends of Diego Maradona. One of the greats in his endeavor. R.I.P., sir. love.

Coincidence: George Best died 15 years ago to the day. 1 yr different in age (59 vs 60), but similar internal organs.

I can feel the Hand of God at work in this.

Maradona had a subdural hematoma - brain trouble.

Rush was right back in the '90s when he warned us against soccer.

RIP. He had his flaws but one of the greatest players of the worlds greatest sport.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Soccer is normally like watching paint dry. Maradona made it exciting.

I recall how the Italians adored him when he was playing for Napoli.
