New Maradona

The ball that Diego Maradona used to score his infamous "Hand of God" World Cup goal for Argentina against England in 1986 will go under the hammer next month and could fetch up to 3 million pounds.

Diego Maradona's eldest daughter claims that the Argentina shirt expected to sell for several million dollars when it is sold at auction this month is not the one her late father wore when he scored the infamous "Hand of God" goal against England.

The jersey worn by Diego Maradona when he scored twice against England in the 1986 World Cup, including the infamous "hand of God" goal, is to be auctioned off this month, Sotheby's announced on April 6.

Diego Maradona, the Argentine soccer great who scored the "Hand of God" goal in 1986 and led his country to that year's World Cup title before later struggling with cocaine use and obesity, has died. He was 60.

Argentina captain Lionel Messi has admitted that his generation has a score to settle at the World Cup in Russia after a series of agonizing near misses in major tournaments.

Lionel Messi will re-sign his contract with Barcelona, the club confirmed, quoted by bTV.

All the details of the new agreement are specified and it is only expected that the star will put its signature in the following week when he will return from his vacation.

Тhe new contract with Messi will be until June 30, 2021.

Argentine soccer great Diego Maradona has decided to stand as a candidate for the FIFA presidency to replace Sepp Blatter, Uruguayan journalist and author Victor Hugo Morales has said. 

Morales said Maradona had told him of his intention when he called the former coach of the Argentina national team to check on the condition of his sick father on June 21.
