When South Korea meet Argentina today, Diego Maradona will remember Huh Jung Moo, the current South Korean coach who in the 1986 World Cup as a player chopped him down brutally with a taekwondo style kick. Argentina went on to win the match, 3-1.

very interesting,
i knew that korean coach playedin 1986 wc and thought they might met, but never knew that he was the man of this famous tackle
i was thinking about another possible confrontation, that is maradona and dunga
they both played against each other in the 1990 world cup, and dunga hit the post that day, both had memory and quotes with the famous incident of that drink that branco got from the argentinian team
N.Waleed, with Maradona around, things happen! That is why this WC is so fascinating. With him as coach, he brings back memories of all those interesting interactions.
I wonder if Maradona ever forgave Huh Jung Moo for trying to kill him back in 1986. That was not a tackle that was attempted murder!
