The famous ‘Hand of God” incident had taken place in the year 1986 World Cup Quarterfinal, against England, Maradona helped Argentina by stretching his hands and punching the ball on target over the English goalkeeper, Peter Shilton to hit the goal which leads Argentina to win the match.

Maradona not so cool now. Some South Korea fans just shouted “Diego” and he obliged with a smile, kiss and wave. Then pulled his eyes to the side in a clearly racist gesture. All of us who saw it are stunned.
