Maradona Slams Argentina Soccer Boss With 'Finger' Gesture, Says I am no Bad Omen

Diego Maradona showed Argentine Football Association president Julio Grondona the finger on live television after the football administrator had suggested Argentina scored against Iran because “jinxed” Maradona had left the stadium by then. Grondona accused Maradona of being 'mufa' -- the bringer of bad luck -- noting that it was only when he vacated his seat that Lionel Messi scored in injury time at the end of the second half against Iran at Belo Horizonte's Mineirao stadium on Saturday. Maradona said he had had to leave early to prepare for his World Cup show Va de Zurda - From the Left.
