Yeah.

59 years before he makes his international debut 42 years before he's born if you gave anybody that description of who's that they'd say it's Maradona and so when Maradona in 86 his greatest game is the quarterfinal against England and his two goals the handball which is that street wiseness the second goal is the virtuosity

And what's the Argentine word for that dribble?

It's una gambetar.

And gambetar is the running motion of an ostrich in Gaucho slang.

So that is the Gaucho's revenge on the evil English who introduced barbed wire.

I can't remember what the question was now, but...

The man who was sent off, not a red card, because red cards were invented as a result of that.

Because he was so confused.

Well, it was perceived he was so confused.

I don't think he was at all, actually.

I think that's quite complicated.

But both teams, after about half an hour, seem to forget it's a friendly.

It's completely full-blooded.
