OTD 1986 WC: Maradona's infamous Hand of God play.

On this day in 1986 Argentine football player Diego Maradona scored his memorable “Hand of God” goal (the ball struck his hand, but the referee mistakenly thought it had hit his head) in a 1986 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal game against England. The illegal goal helped Argentina win the match, and they went on to win the tournament—their second FIFA World Cup title. submitted by /u/AdCool899 [link] [comments]
