All for a guy that handballed and cheated scoring a goal? AND KNEW IT! The England game in 1986 would have been 1-1... Who knows who would have won? The reason video review is needed because athletes can't be honest. He knew he hit it with his hand. England got totally robbed.
"Checho (Sergio Batista) came over and asked me 'You knocked it in with your hand, right? Did you use your hand?'" the legendary No.10 wrote in 'Touched by God'.
"And I answered, 'Shut the f*ck up and keep on celebrating!' We were afraid they would disallow the goal but they didn't."
Maradona always remained unrepentant, partly because of the opposition that day. The quarter-final was played just four years after the Falklands War, which Argentina and the United Kingdom had fought over two British-dependent territories in the South Atlantic."
Good read on it. Imagine it happening today, the dishonesty...
