I thought they were a bit too much of a giveaway - a famous Brazilian, a famous Uruguayan, and the player who famously just won the world cup last week were all unlikely to have captained Argentina in 1986.

Could've at least had 3 other Argentinians of the era to make people doubt whether Maradona was actually the captain.

Yup. Eichmann was caught ("hiding" in plain sight), but he should've been caught years earlier. And he was hardly alone.

All good questions except the Magellan one. Nothing to do with the knowledge about the country
