Buenos Aires: Peruvian computer hackers invaded the website of Argentine national soccer coach Diego Maradona and called him a "crybaby".
Visitors to the portal www.diegomaradona.com Monday heard Peruvian folk music and on the home page saw a photo of Maradona from his playing days with the Boca Juniors club in which the soccer legend is weeping.
Emblazoned on the image is the title "We made you cry", a reference to the World Cup qualifier that Argentina won last Saturday by 2-1 in a nail-biter over Peru, with a goal by Martin Palermo in injury time.
Underneath is a dedication "to the biggest crybaby of all time. They beat us in soccer, but we beat them on the net".
Also to be seen is a photo of the Peruvian team and at the bottom of the web page is the phrase: "Long live Peru, damn it."
