DIEGO MARADONA'S CABALA

Picture of Benjamin with his parents during his christening

Soccer legend Diego Maradona is very superstitious and for this World Cup he has brought along his good luck charm for Argentina, his grandson, Benjamin. Benjamin is the son of Maradona's youngest daughter Giannina and Atletico Madrid player, Sergio 'Kun' Aguero.
The toddler is in Johannesburg together with mother grandmother to give his grandpa and the Argentine World Cup team the needed good luck.  Maradona has referred to his grandson as a 'cabala'- good luck charm in Argentine Spanish.
The first two matches have already been played and there remains another 62.  So let us see if little Benjamin will bring enough good luck to see the Argentine's lift the 2010 FIFA World Cup.  Let the Games begin ...
