Maradona to face FIFA disciplinary committee

Diego Maradona\'s profanity filled tirade on live television after Argentina qualified for next year\'s World Cup, will lead FIFA\'s disciplinary committee to open a case against the former great.



After Wednesday\'s 1-0 victory over Uruguay, Maradona used expletives on live television, much of it directed at his critics and reporters.



FIFA president Sepp Blatter said the governing body has no option but to ask the disciplinary committee to open a case against the coach based on reports received.



Maradona, who led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title and the 1990 final, has been under intense pressure during Argentina\'s stuttering qualifying campaign, which included a 6-1 loss in Bolivia, and a 3-1 loss to Brazil at home.
