Diego Maradona was more than a soccer player — he was an emotion. From the dirt streets of Villa Fiorito to the roar of Naples, from the glory of Mexico '86 to the heartbreak of scandal and exile, this is the story of the most human genius the sport has ever known. In this special edition of Atlanta Soccer Flashback, Jason Longshore traces Maradona's life through its triumphs and turmoil — the boy who played barefoot in Buenos Aires, the man who lifted Argentina and Napoli to immortality, and the legend who reminded us all that “La pelota no se mancha” — the ball does not get stained. It's a story of faith, fire, and forgiveness — the beautiful chaos of Diego Armando Maradona.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 30ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1971 shábháil siad leanbh agus páistí a bhí ag screadach ó bhloc árasán a bhí trí thine I mBaile Átha Cliath. I 2009 fuair turasóir mála droma aois 23 ó Éirinn, bás san Astráil tar éis ionsaí uafásach. I 1971 chúisigh beirt dhuine óg ag an chúirt de bharr gur ghoid siad 3 charr agus d'úsáid siad iad gan aon árachas agus ceadúnas tiomána. I 1987 bhí agóid ag tarlú in Inis I gcoinne comhairle chontae an chláir de bharr an mhéadú de na táillí uisce. Sin Cheryl Cole le Fight For This Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2009. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1963 ar an lá deireanach den turas ceoil, thaifead The Beatles píosa don chlár Drop In I Stócólm. Chan siad She Loves You, Twist and Shout, I Saw Her Standing There agus Long Tall Sally. I 1967 thaifead Tyrannosaurus Rex seisiúin do stáisiúin raidió sa Bhreatain don chlár Top Gear. Bhí siad an chéad ghrúpa chun é a dhéanamh gan conradh taifeadta. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Diego Maradona san Airgintín I 1960 agus rugadh aisteoir Matthew Morrison I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1978 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 30th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1971: Screaming children and babies in arms were snatched to safety from a blazing flat in Dublin. 2009 a 23 year old Irish backpacker died in an Australian hospital following a vicious assault. 1971: 2 youths were charged at the local court with stealing 3 cars and with using the cars without a driving license or insurance. 1987: A public protest over Clare county council's one hundred per cent increase for domestic water supplies was held outside Ennis courthouse. That was Cheryl Cole with Fight for this Love – the biggest song on this day in 2009 Onto music news on this day In 1963 On the final day of their Swedish tour, The Beatles recorded an appearance for the Sverige Television program ‘Drop In' in Stockholm. They performed ‘She Loves You', ‘Twist and Shout', ‘I Saw Her Standing There', and ‘Long Tall Sally.' 1967 Tyrannosaurus Rex recorded a session for the UK Radio 1 'Top Gear' show, the first group to do so without a recording contract. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – soccer player Diego Maradona was born in Argentina in 1960 and actor Matthew Morrison was born in America on this day in 1978 and this is some of the things he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

In part one of a two-party story, we look back at Diego Maradona's chaotic tenure as Argentina's manager.  Following Argentina's struggles in the early stages of qualification for the 2010 World Cup, the Argentine FA turned to their old hero. Maradona, whose life since USA '94, had been a spiral of drugs, drink, abortive comebacks, failed management attempts and near-death experiences, wasback as the leader of his nation.  The fears over Maradona's temperament and ability were initially glossed over but alarm bells started to ring after a catastrophic 6-1 defeat against Bolivia, which ushered in a sequence of poor results, as Argentina – a team packed with talented attacking players – slipped towards World Cup failure.  Maradona's inability to get a tune out of his natural successor, Lionel Messi, was a problem throughout the campaign – the‘father' of Argentina continued to be loved but his introverted ‘son' was viewed with indifference and even hostility by Argentina fans, who felt he was too Barcelona-centric.  Then, with Argentina on the brink of disaster, they were saved by a striker who had been in the international wilderness for a decade.TWITTER/X@MatthewOkot@WorldCupRambleSubscribe to World Cup Rambling on your podcast platform.

Fandi Ahmad is more than just a footballer; has been described as a national legend in Singapore. He was the first Singaporean footballer to play in Europe, the first Singaporean millionaire sportsperson and the first Singaporean sportsperson to have a published biography. As a young child, his family lived in a two-room public housing flat, Fandi was obsessed with football and spent much of his time kicking a ball. He became arguably Asia's best known footballer. He's shared the pitch with Diego Maradona, and was picked to play for Dutch football giant Ajax - an offer he subsequently turned down. Fandi's Muslim faith is central to his life. He avoids scandals, does not smoke or drink, and has been described as humble, filial, and compassionate. In this extended edition of Weekend One on One, he talks to SBS's Christopher Tan

The newest installment of ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 series is the three-part documentary Berlusconi: Condemned to Win, which tells the story of Silvio Berlusconi, one of the most significant and controversial figures in Italian history over the last three decades.Serving as Italy's prime minister over three different stints, Berlusconi first rose to prominence as a business and media tycoon who owned one of the country's most storied football clubs, A.C. Milan. As he turned the team into arguably the world's most successful club, he used its victories to fuel his own popularity — ultimately propelling him to the highest political office in the land. Yet as the film reveals, Berlusconi's ascent raised troubling questions about how sport can mask corruption and provide a pathway to power with consequences far beyond the game.Berlusconi: Condemned to Win was directed by documentary filmmaker Sam Blair (Maradona ‘86, Make Us Dream, Ronnie O'Sullivan: The Edge of Everything). A graduate of the UK's National Film and Television School, Blair made his debut with the feature, Personal Best, and later directed Maradona '86, an ESPN 30 for 30, about Diego Maradona's legendary performance at the 1986 World Cup. Sam also directed the feature documentary Keep Quiet which premiered in the International Competition at the Tribeca Film Festival as well as the first episode of Captive, a Netflix original documentary series, executive produced by Simon Chinn and Doug Liman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

El día que murió Diego Maradona, Argentina lloró… pero algunos se asustaron en silencio. Lo que se anunció como un paro cardíaco pronto se transformó en una trama oscura de negligencia, dinero y traiciones. Médicos, enfermeros y hasta viejos amigos quedaron bajo sospecha. Cada audiencia del juicio destapa nuevos secretos, y cada secreto hace más difícil saber en quién confiar. Hoy no vamos a hablar de la historia de Maradona  de sus goles, hazañas y polémicas, si no del capítulo más obscuro en su biografía: su muerte. 

Part 2 covers Maradona’s fiery Barcelona years, from his world-record transfer and dazzling goals to brutal clashes with Athletic Bilbao, including the infamous “Butcher of Bilbao” tackle that broke his ankle, a violent Copa del Rey final brawl, and the off-field chaos that pushed him toward his Napoli move.

« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es », c'est notre série d'été sur RFI, à la découverte ou la redécouverte de ces jeux populaires qui sont au cœur de nos cultures et de nos identités. Aujourd'hui, direction l'Argentine, pour une plongée dans un jeu de cartes, le truco qui n'a rien à envier au football dans le panthéon des passions nationales. Le truco peut se jouer seul ou en équipe. Le principe est simple : remporter le plus de plis en maniant ruse et stratégie… Le truco, une passion argentine. De notre correspondant à Buenos Aires,  « Ça va ? Je suis Gabriel, je viens du nord de Buenos Aires, j'ai 48 ans et je suis là pour participer au tournoi de Truco avec mes amis ! ». Un dimanche soir à Buenos Aires… Véritable institution ouverte en 1912, le café San Bernardo résonne du brouhaha habituel occasionné par les amateurs de ping-pong et de billard… Dans un recoin, huit tables, six joueurs par table, des jeunes, des moins jeunes, surtout des hommes. Et sur les tables, la bière, les verres, un petit carnet, et les cartes… « On a perdu de quatre points ! Ça ne s'est pas bien passé, on a manqué d'un tout petit peu de chance… Mais bon, le "truco" (prononcé Trouko) c'est l'amitié, l'argentinité, et passer un bon moment… c'est comme ça que je le vois ». Authentique passion argentine, le truco se joue pourtant avec des cartes dites espagnoles numérotées de une à douze, et sur lesquelles figurent le bâton, le denier, la coupe et l'épée… « Ce sont les Espagnols qui l'ont apporté, mais les vieux Gauchos ont adapté les règles pour se l'approprier et en faire un jeu plus autochtone, plus national, plus à nous ! Dans chaque maison, toutes les familles ont un jeu de cartes pour jouer au Truco… ». Impossible pour Gabriel de se souvenir du moment où il a appris à jouer : « Mon père m'emmenait aux réunions avec ses amis, ils se retrouvaient pour jouer. Et toute la nuit, c'étaient les rires, les embrassades, les blagues. Alors moi, tout petit, je me suis dit : je veux apprendre ça. Du coup, c'est comme continuer une tradition — une tradition familiale, mais aussi nationale ». Les règles du truco dans une main, un stylo dans l'autre pour noter les scores, Romina se glisse parmi les joueurs. Passionnée par les jeux, c'est elle qui organise le tournoi : « Quand on est petit, on joue, et puis on grandit, et tout à coup, on est censé être sérieux ». Maintenant, tu es adulte et tu n'as plus le droit de jouer, mais pourquoi ? Pourquoi tu ne pourrais plus jouer parce que tu es grand ? Alors ce bar, un peu, c'est ça. L'idée, c'est de jouer. C'est l'essence même ». Ce que Romina aime par-dessus tout, ce sont les rencontres improbables suscitées par le truco : « Dans certains tournois, il arrive souvent qu'il y ait un vendeur d'avocats qui joue peut-être avec le propriétaire d'une marque de vêtements. Et dans le jeu, ils sont tous égaux, tu vois ? Ce sont des choses qui n'arrivent peut-être que dans ce genre de situations… Et puis, avec tout ce qu'on vit aujourd'hui, surtout sur le plan politique, jouer un peu, ça te déconnecte de la réalité ». Dans l'arrière-salle d'un gymnase qu'il administre dans cette banlieue de Buenos Aires, José a fondé en 2015 rien de moins que l'association argentine de truco pour répondre à un problème majeur : « Le pays est très grand, et le truco n'avait pas de règlement unifié. Chacun jouait avec ses propres règles, et ça posait souvent des problèmes : "Non, non, moi, je joue comme ça. Moi, je ne joue pas comme ça". On a fait un règlement et on s'est dit : "Bon, et maintenant, qu'est-ce qu'on fait ?" ». Sur les murs, des affiches à la gloire de Diego Maradona et Léo Messi… En Argentine, football et truco vont de pair, au point que le premier pourrait même redorer l'image du second : « L'équipe nationale a gagné la Coupe du monde. Et eux, ils jouaient au Truco tous les jours pendant le mondial. Ce sont des super-héros pour n'importe quel Argentin. Alors c'est comme s'il y avait eu un renouveau, un regain du truco. Oui, oui. Maintenant, je vois que les jeunes y jouent, tout le monde y joue. Le truco a fait son grand retour, tu vois ? On était en train de l'oublier, et d'un coup, c'est la fureur totale ». Et demain le truco pourrait même s'exporter. La série argentine à succès El Eternauta diffusée au printemps s'ouvre sur une scène de truco, tant et si bien que José a été contacté par des fans au Japon qui souhaiteraient en apprendre les règles.

In 1987, Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona was on top of the world. He'd just handed his nation a World Cup, and his club side Napoli its first league title in over 60 years. But Maradona's hard-partying lifestyle and underworld friends would soon take their toll - and before long, the world's greatest sportsman was in a tangled web of vice, drugs and match-fixing that would haunt him until his dying days.

Carlos Tevez is a player often overlooked when reminiscing about the greatest South Americans to play in the Premier League. But why? When he was at his peak, he devastated defences with trickery, Argentinian toughness, and goals that won his clubs countless trophies. His ex-teammate Wayne Rooney told us that Tevez “was his favourite strike partner”, while Joe Hart described him as “the catalyst who helped change the mentality of Manchester City”. Maybe Tevez is often forgotten because, along with the riches and skills, Tevez had a list of controversies that followed him around wherever he went. Whether it was his refusal to come off the bench in a key Champions League game, moving between rival clubs, or even the issues around who actually owned him, Carlos Tevez's seven year stay in the Premier League was a white knuckle, rollercoaster ride. But despite all that - speak to most fans, and they'll tell you they love him. This episode of Football Daily is hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter, Eugene Noble, and seeks to unravel the controversies of Carlos Tevez's fascinating career, to show just how unique and brilliant a player he was. To understand his rags to riches story, Eugene takes us back to Argentina to see how the man was made. From growing up in a crime filled tower block to being discovered playing on the streets of Buenos Aires, we chart his move from Argentina to London when he stunned everyone to join West Ham. We'll hear from his ex-teammate Bobby Zamora about culture clashes in the dressing room, and how they formed a partnership which led to the great escape. We'll then explore his time at both Manchester clubs, delving into all the controversies, the goals and the trophies along the way, with Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, and many others. The Carlos Tevez story is a thrilling one, offering unique insight, stories and first hand accounts on his career. And Tevez has still got it as well - in June 2025 he scored 4 goals in Soccer Aid at age 41. But do his controversies add to his myth? Or could he have achieved even higher heights if he was a bit better behaved? And is Tevez the most archetypal Argentinian player since Diego Maradona?

In sports, the Brew Crew start a series against the Phillies in Philadelphia tonight, the Knicks beat the Pacers last night to stay alive in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars to advance to the NHL finals to face the Florida Panthers.

Behind every pixel, mechanic, and character design lies a hidden battlefield where intellectual property law shapes the games we play. From energy drinks to tattoos, the unlikely legal showdowns that define modern gaming are stranger than fiction.Play IP Sidequest Showdown. An escape-room-style game inspired by this episode. Drop a comment if you cracked the code. Monster Energy's aggressive pursuit of any game title containing the word "monster" forced Ubisoft to abandon "Gods and Monsters" despite zero connection to beverages. When NBA 2K rendered LeBron James's tattoos with perfect detail, the copyright holders demanded millions—only to have the courts rule that realistic depictions qualify as fair use. And who knew that the shattered glass texture in Resident Evil was actually a photographer's copyrighted work, leading to one of the largest copyright claims ever filed by a single artist against a game studio?The patent wars are equally fascinating. Nintendo secured a $30 million settlement from fellow Japanese developer Colopl over touch controls—yes, the way your finger moves across a screen can be proprietary. Sega claimed ownership of gacha mechanics where duplicate characters fuse to unlock abilities. And Palworld's "Pokémon with guns" approach triggered Nintendo's legal team to pursue patent infringement rather than the expected copyright route.Even legends aren't immune. Diego Maradona discovered his likeness in Pro Evolution Soccer without permission, leading to a lawsuit that transformed into a sponsorship deal. Meanwhile, Call of Duty successfully defended using Humvees in-game without a license, establishing crucial First Amendment protections for realistic depictions in interactive entertainment.These cases reveal the invisible forces shaping what makes it to our screens. Next time you're playing your favorite game, remember that behind every design decision might be a legal battle that determined not just how the game looks, but how it fundamentally works. The gaming industry's most consequential battles happen in courtrooms, not on our screens.Ready to explore more?

When Argentine soccer wizard Diego Armando Maradona swapped Barcelona for lowly Napoli in 1984, it shocked the sporting world — and sent Naples' deadly Camorra into overdrive. Corrupt from the very start, the move would send the world's greatest player into a tailspin of drugs, sex and crime, even while his onfield performances won Napoli its first league in over six decades. But as Maradona Mania gripped the Italian city, the star's underworld friends realized how big a cash cow he was — and flooded Naples with drugs, smuggled cigarettes, guns and shady property deals. And it was right when Maradona was at his peak — an Italian league, and World Cup winner — that things really began to fall apart. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Santa Muerte, czyli Święta Śmierć, piłkarz Diego Maradona, rabuś Jesús Malverde, mistrz tanga Carlos Gardel – choć Kościół katolicki nigdy ich nie beatyfikował ani nie kanonizował, w Ameryce Łacińskiej są świętymi.Sakralizacja postaci historycznych – celebrytów, przestępców, artystów, aktywistów – to jeden z elementów świata wierzeń Ameryki Łacińskiej, a także klucz do zrozumienia społecznych napięć, aspiracji i frustracji.Bo synkretyczna religijność Latynosów to temat fascynujący sam w sobie, ale – jak mówi gość dzisiejszego odcinka Raportu o książkach – może też posłużyć jako soczewka, przez którą widać, jak Ameryka Łacińska przechodzi kolejną metamorfozę.W reporterskich opowieściach, które Tomasz Pindel spisał w książce „Śmierć i inni święci”, znajdziemy pełną sprzeczności panoramę latynoamerykańskiej rzeczywistości, gdzie sacrum łączy się z profanum, a elementy magii przenikają świat polityki.Prowadzenie: Agata KasprolewiczGość: Tomasz PindelKsiążka: „Śmierć i inni święci”, Tomasz Pindel / Wydawnictwo Znak---------------------------------------------Raport o stanie świata to audycja, która istnieje dzięki naszym Patronom, dołącz się do zbiórki ➡️ ⁠https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiak⁠Subskrybuj newsletter Raportu o stanie świata ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ ⁠https://dariuszrosiak.substack.com⁠Koszulki i kubki Raportu ➡️ ⁠https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/⁠ [Autopromocja]
