Diego Maradona 'The hand of God'




Call it a robbery or call it geniality, but you can't deny it's maybe the most famous goal ever. Argentina captain in 1986 World Cup Diego Maradona scored on England with his hand Argentina's first goal in the game. 

After the game Maradona stated about the goal "a little with the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of God" and described it as a revenge for the UK victory over Argentina in the Falklands War.

The World Cup: Heroes and beautiful moments



What makes the World Cup different from any tournament? 

For me I started to watch football in 1990 during Italia 90, believing in Diego Maradona, amazed by Roger Milla's celebration and watching Lothar Matthäus lifting the trophy. 
I felt in love with Italy after seeing Roberto Baggio's skill, style and his boney tail. I forgave his penalty miss in the 1994 World Cup, he is Baggio at the end. Bebeto's celebration and tribute to his baby was unforgettable. Saeed Al-Owairan goal on Belgium gave the Arab world a moment of that they create do miracles too.  
All of these colorful moments continued tournament after tournament. Zidane and Ronaldo were at the top of the world and heroes of a new era. Iniesta's goal at the 2010 final was a big moment for Spain's history, and i have witnessed Klose marking himself as all time world cup top scorer. While Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo I'm preparing myself to see their last dance. Mbappe represent the future for me.

As a fan of course I read and watched moments that happened while i wasn't born from other legends. Pele, Moore, Beckenbauer, Muller, Cruyff, Rossi, Tardelli and much more.
