He was a soccer (aka football) player.

[–] johnnm58 (545) 4 years ago

Well, may he RIP.

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 4 years ago

Yes. RIP.

PS When I first saw this thread, I thought it said that Madonna had died. I'm not gonna say I was excited
by that prospect, but it certainly did not make me sad.

[–] johnnm58 (545) 4 years ago

Yeah, I wouldn't care if she passed.

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 4 years ago

I wouldn't either.

Anyone from a footballing nation would know him. Basically anyone over 35 in the UK knows who Maradona is.

If you put the comments to 'newest', people are leaving tributes for Maradona there.

I guess that song encapsulates how many feel.

That's what I first read as well because I heard about Maradona earlier.

I read it as Madonna at first too. Weird the way your mind plays tricks on you like that, since I’ve been hearing about Maradona all day.

60 years is a short life but he made his mark. RIP 🙏

Visually very similar and we tend to autocorrect spelling in this era given all the typos.

> thought you said Madonna

Glad it wasn't just me. Maybe my old eyes aren't quite as bad as they seem.

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 4 years ago

No, it wasn't just you. That's what I thought it said at first.

[–] Artisan (3464) 4 years ago

I thought he would have been older.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 4 years ago

Madonna is actually older than Maradona.

[–] ducksoup (3933) 4 years ago

Wait, which one is he?

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 4 years ago

They are one and the same.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 4 years ago

LOL!

I've never been into soccer but grew up knowing that guy's name he was such a legend. RIP

This from a Yahoo News article.

“Diego Maradona once said he hated everything from the United States and, on another occasion, called President George W. Bush "human trash."

Speaking in 2007 to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Maradona discussed his own personal belief in socialism, and denounced the US.

"I hate everything that comes from the United States. I hate it with all my strength," he said.”

Yeah I remember him being friends with Castro as well.

I noticed he had a very expensive wristwatch so if he cared so much about the poor, why spend $50,000 on a watch?
