Hacker delivers new insult against Maradona

September 14, 2009 - 0:0

A computer hacker has delivered the latest insult against Argentina coach Diego Maradona in the wake of a humiliating defeat against Paraguay.

The website of Argentina's national football association was replaced for hours with a photograph of the former soccer great dressed in the uniform of the archrival Brazilian team.
Furious Argentines are blaming Maradona for a loss that puts the two-time world champions in danger of missing the World Cup for the first time since 1970. Brazil has secured a World Cup berth.
An anonymous hacker is being blamed for accessing the web page Friday and replacing it for several hours with the doctored photograph of Maradona and the words: ""A picture is worth more than a thousand words.""
