Maradona pulls no punches

Argentina coach Diego Maradona took a swipe at fellow legends Pele and Michel Platini and also criticised the World Cup matchball during another no-holds-barred press conference in South Africa today.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow‘s Group B encounter between his side and South Korea in Johannesburg, Maradona said Pele should “go back to the museum” and claimed UEFA president Platini thinks he “is better than all the rest”.
