Who's Sorry Now? Fat Guy Edition

In possibly the biggest apology in soccer history (until the LA Galaxy gets around to explaining the whole Beckham thing), Diego Maradona has apparently admitted that it was his hand — not God's — that pushed home Argentina's game-turning goal against England in the 1986 World Cup. Of course, the fact that Maradona is moving to England has nothing whatever to do with it.

Diego Maradona last night issued his first ever apology for his infamous Hand of God goal — and insisted: "If I could apologise and go back and change history I would." The 47-year-old former Argentina ace caved in during an interview with The Sun — nearly 22 years after his handballed effort cheated England out of the 1986 World Cup.

Oh Diego; you delightful, chubby cocaine abuser. How can we stay mad at you?
