Gino, an Italian waiter at a restaurant I frequent in Miami, was a youngster in Napoli when Maradona played for the city's soccer team. He says he attended every match. A few months ago, on the 30th anniversary of the Hand of God, Gino and I were talking about the great player. Nothing Maradona did could be immoral, Gino said. Besides, he continued after a few seconds of silence, being immoral against the English is not like stealing money from a nun.
Gino makes a valid point.
The English invaded Buenos Aires twice, in 1806 and 1807.
