Today in History

La mano de Dios


June 22, 1986. Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona scored both goals in a 2-1 World Cup quarterfinal win over England in Mexico City. Maradona scored one of the goals by punching the ball in, unseen by referees. When asked later about the goal, Maradona responded that is was "la mano de Dios," or the hand of God. Argentina would go on to win the World Cup
