FIFA has opened an investigation into Argentina coach Diego Maradona\'s profanity-filled tirade on live television following a World Cup qualifying win over Uruguay last week.



FIFA spokesman Nicolas Maingot says the disciplinary case has been opened.



After the win, which earned Argentina a spot at next year\'s World Cup in South Africa, Maradona directed crude expletives at his media critics.
