Diego Maradona's Website defaced by Peruvian Hackers

A Peruvian hacker managed to hack the website of Argentine national soccer coach (well not really, I don't think he knows anything about coaching) Diego Maradona (or Maradroga as he is often referred to), following the close match between Peru (1) - Argentina (2), which took place last Saturday.

On the Website (www.diegomaradona.com)the hacker who referred to himself as the "Elite Peruvian" posted a large photo of Maradona from his younger years crying with the following phrase: "we made you cry".  In the background Peruvian folkloric music could be heard with another dedication to the coach stating:

"to the biggest crybaby of all time. They beat us in soccer, but we beat them on the internet"

Below the phrase the Peruvian national soccer team is displayed along with one of Peru's most famous if not patriotic and protected by law quotes of all time:

"Viva El Peru Carajo!"

It's unfortunate that Peru was unable to beat Argentina in the match last Saturday and many seem to blaim the Bolivian referree for the bad call that was made.  In my opinion the extra-time should have never lasted as long as it did (5 minutes).  All I can say is that Argentina barely escaped being eliminated from the finals and I am sure Maradona felt the pressure.  With Peru out of the way the Argentine Soccer team needed to beat 5th place Uruguay which they did on Wednesday in Montevideo (1-0), Fortunately qualifying them for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

How exactly did Maradona respond to all of his opponents and critics in his latest press conference that followed the match with Uruguay, simple by eloquently telling them all to go and suck it!  Yup, he told them not ONCE, not TWICE, but told them THREE times to blow him.   In his defense, he did excuse himself to the ladies present in the room (Maradona always the gentlemen).  You have to admit like him or hate him the guys got balls to such a statment, he backs up his comments by saying:

"I'm black or I'm white, but I will never be grey in my life, Eh!" 

Clearly that statement should have absolved him of his remarks, right!  Well some folks did'nt seem to think so, some would go as far as to say that they were offended by what he had to say.  Needless to say there were some journalists and others who did'nt like what Maradona had to say and even sent complaints to FIFA pleading that he should be suspended for such remarks or at the least censored.

I'm curious as to how his speech would have played out had he lost to Uruguay?

For those of you interested in seeing the video, the comments are made at around 1:38.
