Diego Maradona's son, Diego Sinagra Maradona, has spoken about the upcoming semi-final match between Argentina and England at the 2026 World Cup.
Sport.Biz reports that the catalyst for the nations' football rivalry is England's victory in the 1982 Falklands War. In the 1986 World Cup, Diego Maradona called his 'Hand of God' goal a symbolic revenge for Argentina's defeat.
My father didn't think this match was ordinary, just another game. We can say what we want, but this match was not normal and never will be. For all Argentines and Maradona fans, this is a truly unique event that reminds us of everything related to the Falklands War, our brothers who died there, and what happened to my father in 1986. He won a historic match and since then, nothing has been ordinary in matches against England
, Diego Sinagra said.
Earlier, Argentina's foreign minister, Pablo Kirno, had called for new negotiations on the ownership of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas Islands).
The semi-final match between the teams will start at 23:00 Baku time today. The Spanish national team had earlier defeated France 2-0 to qualify for the semi-finals.
