A passionate group of diehard fans of Argentina football legend Diego Maradona gathered in the capital, Buenos Aires, on Saturday to celebrate what they call "Maradona Easter." Each year on 22 June, they celebrate the goals their late hero scored in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final against England, four years after Argentina fought Britain over the Falklands. Chanting and waving flags, the supporters remember how the football star scored twice during that match in Mexico City, goals that have entered football history.
