I do have to admit still being a tad salty about that handball goal in 1986.
Here you go (again).

Tragic. I wish I had been follwing soccer when he was playing. On the CBSSports Post Match show this afternoon they were showing his top five moves. H O L Y C R A P.
It is a shame he is known for the Hand of God, but one of the clips they showed was another goal he scored against England that day, dribbling through and around at least five players.

Loved watching him play in his prime. The hand of God reached out and called him home.
I've been struggling all afternoon trying to think up a Hand of God joke.

That game basically sums the two sides of the Maradonna coin: at once one of the most technically gifted players and one of the biggest shithousers. He even had the galls to tell supporters of SSC Napoli to support him and Argentina when Arg played Italy in the 1990 World Cup. The sheer insouciance of it all.
Here’s that run against England. In that famous Weah goal, he sliced through the opposition with speed. Maradonna is all about breaking ankles.

With music set to Live is Life? This was before the start of a Bayern v SSC Napoli match in the Uefa Cup semifinals. Strutted his stuff in front of the Bayern home crowd. Again, starring in the dual role of the wind-up merchant and football acrobat.
