ARGENTINA: Diego Maradona, Soccer Story Of The Year?

GUARDIAN.U.K./ Profile/ RICHARD WILLIAMS/
    With powerhouse Brasil suddenly out of the picture, Argentina has a much better chance to take the World Cup, led by Diego Maradona, who was close to dying in 2004 but has staged a miraculous personal comeback.
    "Even at this quarter-final stage, his(Maradona's) renaissance as Argentina's head coach is the story of the year. Should he go on to guide his team to three more victories and see his captain, Javier Mascherano, lift the trophy that he himself held aloft in 1986, it will forever be seen as one of the most remarkable comebacks in the entire history of sport."
