Maradona's naked promise

馬拉多納盼7月12日裸奔

Argentina coach Diego Maradona has promised he will run naked around the obelisk of Buenos Aires if Argentina wins the World Cup trophy on July 12 in South Africa, The Radio Marca reported Wednesday. The obelisk of Buenos Aires, one of the main icons of Argentina, was built to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city. Argentina is in fine form after thrashing Canada 5-0 Monday in its final warmup for the World Cup. The 1986 champions will play Greece, Nigeria and South Korea in Group B.

據西班牙馬卡電臺26日報道，阿根廷國家隊主教練馬拉多納已承諾，如果能夠在7月12日奪得南非世界杯冠軍，他將圍著布宜諾斯艾利斯方尖碑裸奔。該方尖碑是為紀念布宜諾斯艾利斯建城400年而建，如今是該國的標志性建筑之一。在24日舉行的最后一場熱身賽中，阿根廷5比0狂掃加拿大隊，狀態上佳。作為1986年的世界杯得主，本屆杯賽阿根廷與希臘、尼日利亞和韓國被分在B組。
