SC from "The Times of India"

BKimball's point holds true for many other instances as well. Even when the President of the United States is giving a speech, he'll sometimes use incorrect grammar forms. You can notice many mistakes (by GMAT standards) in TV series, hollywood movies, etc. They are accepted forms of conversational speech and speakers can take certain liberties outside of the GMAT world.

Having been with news-reporting for sometime, my point of view is that the newspaper’s point was to stress that Maradona was likely to become the head coach, (in spite of all those involved in the issue apparently calling a different tune for the time being) although he seemed to bring Argentine players at the invitation of the Red Cross of China to take part in an exhbhibition game.

In order not to alter this intent, it is vital that we do not change the order of stress; it may be seen, that the bringing part is placed in the subordinate clause, while the speculation part in stated in the main clause.

On the other hand If the stress were to be placed on bringing, then the sentence would have to be: Although Maradona sparked speculation that he was about to become head coach of country's national team, he was indeed in China at the invitation of the Red cuss of China, bringing Argentine team players to take part in an exhibition game

As long as all of the multiple modifiers mean to modify the appropriate noun, it shouldn’t really be the cause of concern. We may well ignore the parenthetical modifier temporarily, and ascribe the initial modifier to the noun

To set right the extant misplacement of modification, if Maradona's visit was changed to simply Maradona, the problem may be simply solved.

Any takers?
