Maradona To Face Disciplinary Hearing On Sunday After Rant

FIFA, the world’s leading soccer organization, has set a hearing for this Sunday, where they will discuss taking possible disciplinary action against Diego Maradona, the head coach of the Argentinean national team. This is in response to Maradona’s unprofessional rant against the Argentine media following his team’s world cup qualifying victory over Uruguay that took place on October 14, 2009. Check out what vulgar things he said said below:

If Maradona were to be given a one game ban, which is expected, he will have to serve his suspension during the first match of the 2010 World Cup, to be held in South Africa. The likely punishment may hold severe consequences for his squad. Since Argentina barely qualified, their group will consist of stronger teams from other conferences, making it harder for them to move past the group stage and make a serious run at the World Cup title.
