Maradona: I'll run naked if we win
Home strip: Diego Maradona has promised to run naked through the centre of Buenos Aires if Argentina win the World Cup.Argentina coach Diego Maradona has promised that he will run naked through the streets of Buenos Aires if his side manage to win their first World Cup since 1986.
Maradona lifted the trophy as player at Mexico '86 and is in charge of the national team in South Africa. The ever-controversial coach has now promised to streak if he leads his side to glory again.
"If we win the Cup then I will run naked to the Obelisk in Buenos Aires," he said after Argentina's 5-0 drubbing of Canada.
Maradona also insisted that he left star player Lionel Messi out of the side for the friendly because of a fear over injury before the tournament, claiming he told Messi: "If something had happened to you in that match, I'd have been shot - you know where."
Messi is yet to capture his best form for his country, with many claiming he is played out of position by Maradona. The forward plays in a free role behind the two strikers under Maradona, but has found success on the right side of a three-pronged attack for his club side, Barcelona.
Yet he claims that the decision is down to the coach. "I don't know. It's Diego's decision,'' he said. "But I think Argentina are fortunate to have so many top-quality forwards.
"I won't change. I'll keep playing in the same way. I hope to be able to do what I do for Barcelona in the national team without my form suffering. I have also won everything individually and now I would like to do the same with Argentina."

u say one hor
all witness -
His so confident because no one wants to see him naked..
-
Looking at his (mis)handling of the team, this will almost certainly not happen.
If anything, everyone would try to sabo Argentina to lose so that they can be spared from the horror of seeing his naked body.
-
Who will be interested and to see him naked? Not me.
-
He's a pooptart.
-
I was never under the impression that the man needed much of an excuse to run naked anywhere.
-
Hell, now the Argentine players would no longer want to play to their best.
You seriously think any of them would want to see their big boss naked? No, right?
-
I doubt they will even make it pass group stage with this goof coach around.
-
Will the cops even let him do that? Indecent exposure.
-
run? he? carted maybe..
-
He knows Argentina won't win, that's why he is saying this.
