Is Maradona in Cartagena?

Tonight, I was listening to sports news on Radio-Canada french network and the commentator showed some video of Maradona appararently staying in the penthouse of an high rise that looks a lot that the one that's just besides The DeCameron in Cartagena.

Is he in Cartagena or somewhere else?

Also, the commentator found it funny that he would be in Colombia and likened it to an alcoolic who would be in Napa Valley doing the wine road.

Not very politically correct but...

Just when you think nothing could possibly worsen Colombia's image along comes Maradona.

Yes, he is currently in Cartagena and I think it's great that Diego Maradona, arguably the greatest footballer of all time and one of the twentieth century's greatest athletes, chooses to visit our country. Maradona is a friend of Colombia and has visited our nation many times.

Bruno, that commentator is an a-hole.

Kernow, come one, don't tell me you're still smarting over the hand of God goal!

Yes, damn right I'm still smarting over that "goal".

I would also argue about him being the greatest footballer of all time too.

ColX I will say that the second goal of that match was perhaps the greatest goal of all time though. I don't think I could choose a best player out of Maradona, George Best, Zidane, Pele, Eusebio, Ronaldo or a few other greats. I could choose my favourite though, George Best.

Wrong! I have it on good authority, Directly from the first husbands mother of my last wives third illegitimate daughter, twice removed, (from her sanity) that Marabona has been spotted by a former inmate of the same institution that housed Londonmale, that he is alive and well.

He is residing on a semi detached farm which has been converted to an animal husbandry project in the region of La Pedera.The writing the front of his ‘T' shirt states I am no longer suffering from delusions of grandeur, the back reads ‘'read the front you insignificant prat'.


He can be seen there on most days on all fours with miniaturized experimental Llamas munching his way through the coca plantation and mumbling incoherently to himself something about effing brits. (Elmo has been spotted stalking him from behind) Perhaps Madonna will come along and marry El Presidente as she did in the film Yvetta and get us all out of trouble? (she was rubbish at football anyway)

(Pass the whisky Jeff)

This is true, I swear it and is just as factually correct as most of the items that are posted on this forum. OK who is going to give me a hard time over this one because I have spelled his name wrong?
