'Furious' Maradona wants to meet Argentina squad

Diego Maradona has requested a meeting with Argentina's players before their final World Cup group game on Tuesday.

After losing to Croatia, the two-time winners must beat Nigeria to have any chance of reaching the last 16.

Maradona is "furious and upset" and criticised Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapia.

"It cost us too much to be where we are for Croatia to hit us for three goals and to leave with our arms crossed without putting a foot in," he said.

Maradona, the Golden Ball winner as Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, said he "would love" to meet coach Jorge Sampaoli's players and would take several of his former team-mates with him.

"We're going to defend our honour," he told Venezuelan TV channel Telesur.

"I'm furious and very upset inside, because anyone who has worn that shirt can't see it being trampled like that by a Croatian team that isn't Germany, that isn't Brazil, that isn't Holland or Spain. the disrespect

"But there is a guilty party and the culprit is the president of the AFA. Everyone just accepted it when Sampaoli came in with computers, with drones, with 14 assistants.

"I think there is a total lack of authority on Tapia's part."

World Cup 2018: Diego Maradona wants to meet Argentina players after Croatia shock

Yesterday there was a complete meltdown by all argentinian media as a bunch of leaks surfaced. Pavon punching Mascherano in the face because he was yelling at Caballero (which ended up being completely false), Sampaoli being forced to step down and Burruchaga managing the last game with Nigeria (also false, though it seems it was a backup plan by some of the people within AFA), and Messi + veterans having a meeting with Sampaoli and the AFA president to try to work things out (this one was true and confirmed today by Tapia and Mascherano)...then half the media ran with the story that the point of the meeting was telling Sampaoli he had no more saying or power on anything regarding the team, which was also denied, though a lot of journalists and ex players still believe it's true
