"Hand of War"
"Hand of War": The 1986 World Cup and Falklands War Fallout acts as a bridge between the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) and the governments of Argentina and Great Britain during tense times between the two nations. 51 minutes into the Quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup saw one of the largest controversies in Soccer history, Argentine legend Diego Maradona smashed the ball into the back of the net with a closed fist, AND IT COUNTED! Pundits went into a frenzy and were appalled by the decision of the referee. Tensions were high as it wasn't long after the ending of the heated Falklands War and led to conversations hinting at a potential second coming of such.
