This is the only religion you should follow!

History

It was founded on October 30, 1998 (Maradona's 38th birthday) in the city of Rosario, but it wasn't until 2001 that they had their first gathering. They now reportedly count over 100,000 members from more than 60 countries around the world.
It could be seen as a type of syncretism. It's clear that the passion between the different members is what glues them together. As Alejandro Verón, one of the founders tells us "I have a rational religion and that’s the Roman-catholic church, and I have a religion passed on my heart, passion, and that’s Diego Maradona."
Supporters of the Maradonian Church, supposedly from all parts of the world, count the years since Maradona's birth in 1960. It is popular among the followers of this religion, and also among other football fans, to use the neo-Tetragrammaton "D10S" as one of the names of Maradona. D10S is a portmanteau word which fuses Maradona's shirt number (10) and Dios, the Spanish word for God.
According to the church of Maradona it is the year 49 AB (After Birth).

Ten Commandments

1. The ball must not be stained, as D10S has proclaimed
2. Love football over all things
3. Declare your unconditional love of football
4. Defend the colours of Argentina
5. Preach the words of D10S all over the world
6. Pray in the temples where he preached and on his sacred mantles
7. Dont proclaim the name of Diego in name of an only club.
8. Follow the teachings of the Maradonian Church
9. Let Diego be thy name, and thy one of your children
10. "No ser cabeza de termo y que no se te escape la tortuga." (Meaning "don't be a hothead and don't let the turtle escape you")

Our Diego

1. Our Diego, who is on the pitches,
2. Hallowed be thy left foot, bring us your magic. Make your goals remembered on earth as in heaven,
3. Give us some magic every day, forgive the English, as we have forgiven the Napolitan Mafia,
4. don't let yourself get caught offside and free us from Havellange.

Translation from spanish is kinda weak oh well.

[Slapper]

So the ref who ejected Kaka and the ref who didn't count the last US goal got fired...sorta.

[Velgadess]

from what I've read is they still get to be linesmen/assistant refs...whatever the term is. @ games but not be the ref for games.

– If Slovenia win or draw against England, they are guaranteed a first-ever last-16 berth.

– If Slovenia win they will finish first. If they draw they will finish first if USA fail to beat Algeria.

– If Slovenia draw and USA win, first place will go down to goal difference.

– If USA beat Algeria they will progress. If they draw they can progress so long as England fail to beat Slovenia, although this will go down to goal difference if England also draw.

– If England beat Slovenia, they will progress. If they draw they can progress only if the USA-Algeria match ends in a draw and goals scored will be the deciding factor.

– If Algeria beat USA, they are guaranteed qualification if England fail to win. If Algeria win and England beat Slovenia, Algeria and Slovenia will be tied on four points with goal difference deciding.

Lots of interesting matches today!
