My actual name is Diego. I remember as a kid when adults used to ask my name, and when I said "Diego", they always came up with "Like Diego Maradona!". I felt glad as kid to have the same name as this legend and idol.
Damn, RIP. It's not going to be the same seeing the World Cup or Copa America without the camera trying its hardest to find him. This year doesn't stop even when it's almost over.

The hand of god finally got to him, withouth a doubt ne of the greatests of all time. RIP. And even though as a person, he did many fucked up things, at the very least he never supported the likes of Bolsonaro (at least no one that I knew of), like Pelé.
