Diego Maradona scored the infamous 'Hand of God' goal during the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, in Argentina's quarter-final match against England. The goal was controversial because Maradona punched the ball into the net with his fist, which was against the rules, but the referee didn't see the infraction. In the same match, he also scored the 'Goal of the Century,' dribbling past five England players. The 1994 World Cup was too late (Maradona's final World Cup), 1990 was in Italy, and 1982 in Spain was before his famous goal.
