MARADONA LOSES IT AS ARGENTINA WIN
THE greatest football player of all time spent the week looking like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him as Argentina limped meekly through the group stage of the World Cup with an opening draw and loss.

But Diego Maradona suddenly found a zest for life as his national team finally bagged a win - and spot in the next round - with a 2-1 win over Nigeria.

Marcus Rojo’s decisive goal in the 87th minute sent the Argentine crowd into raptures, none more so than Maradona who had a simple - if less than eloquent - message for the haters.

Social media, predictably, went into overdrive after Maradona’s... shall we say, exuberant celebration in the stands?

But it wasn’t quite the happy end to the night Maradona thought it would be.

Paramedics tended to the Argentina legend after he fell ill post-match, according to reports.

A video emerged showing the 1986 World Cup winner looking unwell, walking with difficulty and being guided into the dining room of the VIP section by two friends and then sitting in a chair.

Other photographs showed two uniformed paramedics attending to him, with one appearing to take his pulse.

Argentina media reported that Maradona had suffered a spike in his blood pressure.

Argentinian newspaper Ole reported that Maradona was able to walk and had gone to his hotel.

Maradona has had a series of health problems, including cocaine addiction. In 2007 he reportedly came close to death.

DANES, FRENCH SLAMMED OVER SNOOZEFEST FOOTBALL
FANS hated the battle of backpasses that the Denmark-France World Cup match devolved into, and they likely will watch more teams collude when soccer’s showcase expands to 48 teams.

The sellout crowd at Luzhniki Stadium started booing early in the second half, angry that two talented teams were passing the ball back to goalkeepers and refusing to go on the attack.
