My limited knowledge of Roman Catholicism tells me you don't become a saint until you die, right?!
Now, what will those guys in Argentina who set up the "Church of Maradona" do if Saint Diego causes them not to qualify for la mundial. Will they stop worshipping him? Somehow, I think not! their reasons for adoring him had nothing to do with fact in the first place.
But what about those Argentines who believe that El Diego is just a man, not to be over glorified! What will they do to Diego's skin if the ABSOLUTELY UNTHINKABLE happens?.
Getting knocked in the first round of the WC in 2002 was one thing, not qualifying at all is another. One writer thinks it can even lead to a coup in Argentina.
In the most tragic event, which i most honestly do not want to happen, that Maradona gets knocked off for Argentina's premature exit, as Colombia's Escobar was in 1994, would the worshippers at the Maradona Church finally get the chance to worship him in the proper way befitting a Saint?
Just Trippin!
