Some of you might have seen this already, but go check out Gary Lineker interviewing Diego Maradona about that "game" from way back when.

I've come across this post over at Soccernista. I quite enjoy the Daily Show and didn't think about it at the time much. I think Garth has a point about making sure that we all remember what happened that day. [Soccernista]

I love the Daily Show, and I know that Jon is a massive soccer fan, so I'm not sure what happened there. Oops.
Wow, there are a lot of top of the table clashes or bitter rivals playing each other this weekend. Insane.
