Didier Drogba's face said it all, when pundits spoke about Maradona's antics at the match.

Diego Maradona became the centre of attention again following his reaction to the agonisingly close victory for Argentina over Nigeria. Rio Ferdinand spoke about his situation and Maradona's career, while Didier Drogba's face said it all.

Diego Maradona is a legend of the football world, but his actions in the last few days have been damaging to his image.

In the game between Nigeria and Argentina, he celebrated the goal with middle fingers to opposition supporters, and more drinks.

After the goal, Maradona was treated and stabilised by medics at the stadium, according to Argentinian newspapers.

He has recovered and is now on route to Moscow, but that hasn't stopped football personalities from critisizing the ex-player's actions.

'BBC' post-match analysis for the game was undertaken by Rio Ferdinand and Didier Drogba, with the former commenting: "It's a shame because his career as a footballer was one of the best, but these scenes aren't great to see..."

However, the real reaction to the state of Maradona was reflected in the face of Didier Drogba who nodded his heard solemnly when speaking about his antics with the former Manchester United man.
