A Letter to Mr. Maradona

Referencing our earlier discussion of Maradona's managerial mishaps, we have decided to publish this open letter to him in hopes on behalf of all Albicelestes fans....

Dear Mr. Maradona, aka HRH Our Undisputed National Football Treasure:

Since we realize you might be familiar with the 12 step program and seeing that the national team is currently need of a similiar level of rehabilitation, we are presenting you with a list of suggestions (otherwise known as demands) to help our beloved Albicelestes qualify for South Africa. Wanna know the best part? Our rehab scheme has only one-third (that is less than half in case you didn't know) as many steps as the aforementioned program...so here it goes:

1. Swallow considerable pride (hey, we never said it would be painless...)
2. Call up Higuain already, and while your at it allow Milito to pry his rear end from the bench
3. More generally, abandon your mad plot to vindicate your vertically challenged brehtern (looking at you Tevez) and to validate your elderly squad selections (Veron? Heinze? Really Diego?)
4. We know it's a sensitive topic, but did we mention the height thing?

XOXO,

Your Adoring, Worshipful Public
