Argentinian legend Diego Maradona went through a range of emotions watching his country eventually overcome Nigeria in their final group game of the World Cup.
Sitting in front of a corporate box at the Saint Petersburg Stadium, he was in plain sight and frequently caught on the television coverage.
His antics did not go unnoticed by the viewing public and these are the best of the Diego Maradona jokes and tweets from Nigeria vs Argentina at Russia 2018:
