单选题 The man who, legend has it, escaped from an early grave when his uncle pulled him from drowning in a dirty pond is notorious(臭名昭著的, 声名狼藉的) for his dirty deeds but what cannot be forgotten are his achievements in the 1986 World Cup. The man is Maradona.
Forget the handball against England, feel the quality of his 50-yard solo goal in the same game and the near repeat performance in the semi-final against Belgium. The Argentina side of 1986 was functional and hard-working but it was Maradona who fired them to the final and then set up two of the goals in their 3 - 2 win over West Germany in the final.
In 1990, a barely-fit Maradona fought his way to the final where the Germans took their revenge. Few people shared Diego"s post-match tears. In fact many rejoiced that such an ugly brute of a team had lost.
Eight years before, in Spain, Maradona, then newly arrived at Barcelona, disgraced himself by being sent off in a Second Phase game with Brazil. Even four years before that the 18-year-old Maradona was a source of great controversy when he was left out of the victorious squad that won on home ground.
USA 1994 was the end for Maradona as a player. Right after the Nigeria game, he was picked for drugs-screening and tested positive for banned stimulant ephedrine(麻黄硷). He was banned from the rest of the tournament and the team fell apart, going out in the second round to Romania.
