An explanation: Why Maradona wears two watches

 

Asking why Maradona does any of the wacky things he does is usually a futile attempt at finding a brick of logic in a hurricane of madness, but when it comes to why Maradona wore two watches while leading Argentina against Nigeria Saturday, there actually is an answer.

 

Maradona always wears two watches when he travels - one set to local time and one set to the time back in Argentina. Plus, as a man of extravagant taste (he also wears large diamond earrings and, of course, has a special expensive toilet seat installed in his hotel bathroom), Maradona also has a taste for fancy watches. A taste that the Italian tax authorities have enjoyed as a means of recouping a bit of the $39 million in back taxes he owes from when lived there while playing for Napoli. In 2006, they seized a pair of Rolexes from Maradona while he visited Naples for a charity match.

 

 

With those Rolexes long gone, Maradona now wears a pair of his own Hublot special edition watches that feature a silhouette of the former No. 10 raising his arms in victory (or perhaps to knock in a goal).

 

Of course, Maradona's accessories weren't limited to a pair of watches for the Nigeria match. In addition to the timepieces and his Goodfellas suit, he also clutched Rosary beads to help him pray for a fair match. And despite the best efforts of Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, Argentina got the victory.

 

If these results continue for Maradona, look for two watches to become a globe-sweeping trend. Paris Hilton will be wearing pink ones by July. Now you know who to blame.

I hadn't even noticed tbh... probably cuz I don't really care about Maradona at all... but I do care about Messi.

Somebody needs to get him a Casio digital watch. It has a setting for multiple time zones. Some even have calculators.

^But that wouldn't be as classy.

Isn't it because he's desperate to know when it's dinner time so he needs a back-up watch in case of breakdown?:rolleyes:

It could be a possibility. The poor lad didn't know in the last five years that following a healthy diet and exercise is the proper way to lose weight, he instead opted to undergo an unnecessary gastric bypass surgery which reduced his stomach to the size of an apple. So yeah, there is a lot truth behind your inference.

One for the time and one is an alarm to tell him when to have his next line of coke?

Well it obviously wasn't very successful then, as he still looks like a pot-bellied pig!!:P
