"Hand of GOD"-- the great soccer controversy!

well the name being hand of god must have reminded all fotabll freaks and fans of one of the greates fottball controversies af all times ..taking u back to the 86 wrld cup !.heres sme data for the ftbaall lovers and even fr those who arent!!

The Hand of God goal was scored by Diego Maradona in the quarter-final match of the 1986 FIFA World Cup between England and Argentina, played on 22 June 1986 in Mexico City's Estadio Azteca. Maradona illegally used his left hand to score the goal, but the referee thought he had used his head and allowed the goal. Argentina won 2-1 and for the English people the legacy of this event perhaps best symbolizes the rivalry between the two football (soccer) teams.
Five minutes later, Maradona scored another goal, voted in 2002 as the best goal in World Cup history, in which he eluded five English outfield players (Hoddle, Reid, Sansom, Butcher and Fenwick) as well as Shilton. England scored through Gary Lineker in the 81st minute, but Argentina won the match 2-1 and went on to win the World Cup.

so may be that really was hand of god ....which took them tat far thouugh this time 2006 ti think they dnt need it..they gonaa go ahead to win without thathelp...!
