Your hero is a moron mate. Thats all there is to it. My sources are fine. I have taken an interest in the Falklands for years. The rights and wrongs of it do not make Maradona any better a person.
Imagine if Geoff Hurst had come out and said "Bollocks... me and the lads dont care if it crossed the line or not... the Germans deserved to lose because of the War"... I kinda dont think that would be acceptable.
It shouldn't have attacked it, it was going away from the danger zone and was subject to a swift rule change pushed through by Thatcher 48 hours before it was sunk.
Saying something anti-English is not at all racist, if your country is at war and young kids are dying then your gonna be against the country that is killing them. Seriously mate have a think about it before you start tarring people as racists.
And I actually disagree with the last comment you made about Hurst, I think it would have been perfectly acceptable because stupid comments like that are still made today and nothing is ever said about them.
But fair play mate, you have your views I'll have mine.
