ST PETERSBURG (Reuters) - Argentina great Diego Maradona said on Wednesday he was fine after appearing to take ill during the South Americans' roller-coaster World Cup win over Nigeria on Tuesday, but found himself in hot water again after making an obscene gesture at the game.

"I want to let you know I'm fine, I'm not nor was I hospitalised," the 57-year-old said via Instagram.
