World Champion Or Football Hooligan? Diego Maradona Makes Headlines in 2018 World Cup For Racist Gesture, Showing Finger, and Fainting In World Cup 2018

GOAT: Greatest Of All Time, or A Football Bully? What is  Diego Maradona? We have seen fans crying for his life, we have seen him spread the magic on the field, but this time the 55 years old former Argentine footballer and coach Diego Maradona is making headlines for all the wrong reasons at Saint Petersburg Stadium.

 

The classic nail-biter coming from the footballer still could have made headlines, but he chooses to show another side of him from the Balcony of his seat. 

“There’s no way #Maradona could still be on drugs, after so many years being clean “

1986's world cup winner, Diego Maradona was called a "laughing stock" by former footballer Gary Lineker after he was seen putting up two middle fingers projected towards all the fans present in the stadium. Yesterday, on a match between Nigeria and Argentina, the Argentine legend was seen live, raising two middle fingers while celebrating Marcos Rojo's winning goal that sealed qualification.

English player Kyle Walker who is in WC 2018's squad for England shared Maradona moment as:

Twitter even exploded on his reaction towards a Nigerian fan. Maradona after being called by a Nigerian fan looked at her, waved at her, danced along the lady, but as soon as he turned his face he made a very dishonest facial gesture which was labeled as racist by many, maybe it was the pressure he was feeling for Argentine squad, but people have taken it otherwise too.

Further, in the first half, he looked like praying but reportedly fainted After Moses returned Messi's goal in a penalty. Russian paramedics reportedly attended him too, but Argentina media has been denying the fainting moment, regardless. Looking at the incident from a fan shared video, it really looks as if Maradona fainted and was attended by the paramedics. Take a look at the incident:

This should possibly bring a wave of trolls and memes on Diego. As it's a world of the web now, the Argentine superstar should possibly beware that the world is watching and act like he is supposed to. But, its football and you are always allowed to be a fan, be it clean cheers or be it pointing two birds, Argentina is through and will see France in the round of 16.
