Argentine soccer great Diego Maradona dies at 60

I won't speak ill of the dead, so I will let Maradona speak for himself;
In 2007, Maradona said he hated the United States “with all my strength” during an appearance on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s weekly television show. “I believe in Chavez, I am Chavista... Everything Fidel does, everything Chavez does for me is the best (that can be done),” Maradona said, sitting with Chavez. “I hate everything that comes from the United States. I hate it with all my strength,” he added.
