The Hand Of God (1986)
The best-known handball goal in FIFA history. A tight match between England and Argentina gave Argentine star, Maradonna, the genius (but not so legal) idea to score a goal… WITH HIS HAND! Even after a great deal of noise was made by the English players, the goal was awarded. Maradonna went on to win the “Golden Ball” as player of the tournament. Perhaps he deserved a golden hand.

Hand Of God, Take Two (2010)
Extra time. Quarterfinals. FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The Uruguayan penalty box is ablaze. Shot after shot, the Ghanaian forwards fail to get the ball behind the net. Then a perfect shot to win the match for the last surviving African team, but… striker, Luis Suárez, knocks the ball to safety – WITH HIS HAND! The resulting penalty brought no luck to Ghana and they lost the game.
