Maradona Smokes Cuban Cigar While Playing Soccer

Maradona Playing with Cigar
If you’re a legend like Maradona, you can pretty much do whatever you want while playing soccer. Diego Maradona is a soccer legend as a player and now he’s a legend as a coach. Ahead of Argentina’s match with Holland in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Maradona puffs on a Cuban cigar while playing in a small sided game. As long as he’s not smoking the cigar in his hotel room (see below), I think everything should be fine.

Let’s just hope Argentina and Maradona can lift the World Cup trophy once again. I think one thing you can say about Maradona is despite all the negative off the soccer field stuff, he truly loves the game of football /soccer. Even in his old age he wants to get out on the soccer field and join the game. Get his foot on the ball. Well, as long as he can smoke his cigar too…

In the past, Maradona has caused some problems when he smokes his cigars:

Chelsea’s players were forced to wait outside the hotel in bitterly cold conditions for 40 minutes before the could return to their rooms.

United went on to defeat a tired-looking Chelsea side 3-0 while Argentina coach Maradona – in Manchester to watch Carlos Tevez – watched from the stands.

The Sun quotes a fireman at the scene saying: “It looks as though it was set off by Diego and his entourage smoking cigars on the 14th floor.”
