Argentine football legend, Diego Armando Maradona, who is regarded by many as the greatest footballer ever, was rushed to hospital after he almost collapsed at the end of the World Cup match between his country and Nigeria.
According to reports, he suffered from high blood pressure due to the intensity of the game.
During the game, Diego Maradona could be seen behaving erratically.
His celebration after Lionel Messi scored the first goal for Argentina was seen by some as being hysterical.
Many felt he over did it.

Immediately after the game ended, video clips which have circulated online show Maradona being led by some men into a VIP room of the stadium.
The Argentine legend has a history of drug abuse.
Many feel that his behaviour last night during the game may not be unconnected with drug abuse.
It would be recalled that 24 years ago, the former Napoli skipper failed a doping test after playing against the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the World Cup in USA.
That was his last international game as he was given a life ban by FIFA.
However, reports from St. Petersberg in Russia are that Maradona is in a stable condition.
