In the World Cup of 1986 in Mexico, were playing England vs. Argentina. This countries were already strained after the 1982 War, because Argentina wanted the Falkland Island located in their coast, but they had been a British territory.
In the match there was a rivalry between the two teams. The first goal was from Maradona a very known Argentina's player by all the people around the world, he used his hand to punch the ball into the net. The referee let the goal stands. Argentina went on to beat England 2-1.
It was an international scandal and when someone asked Maradona about what had happened, he answered : "The goal was scored a little with my head and a little with the hand of God"
