PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) - Diego Maradona says it's time for the critics to stand up and hang their heads in shame.
He'd been branded a liability back home before the World Cup - a legend on the playing field, of course, but a naive tactician and attention-grabber who would squander the nation's best chance of winning the title in years.
Three wins later in South Africa and the tone's changed. Argentina, many now believe, could win the tournament.
But Maradona was having none of it Saturday.
"Many journalists should apologize to the players," he said, oozing confidence and never losing his cool. "I'm not suggesting you drop your trousers, but it would be honest and great so we all get along better."
Why? What have they done?
