That “ HAND” of “ GOD ” , that was an Argentine Hand and that hand was for Argentina and it's " FOOTBALL "

That “ HAND” of  “ GOD ” , that was an Argentine  Hand  and that hand was for Argentina

It is practically very hard to describe this loss. A human being in his  body has two eyes ie , a pair of eye's, , , two legs, two hands, a pair as we could mean and call them  a heart and a lung. Anything one  out of this pair ,  ie , one of the  two goes out you are left with nothing even though you may have the other things. The same holds for football as well.

Receiving the news, yesterday  of course, it was somewhat unbearable but then this is what the life has to offer. Yesterday I heard the news about the GREAT footballer, and ONE-OF-THE- GENIUS, Deigo Maradona is dead. It shocked me but then it also made me to feel that exactly this is what will happen to me one day.

Here in this article I would ONLY like to pay my tribute and my homage to this GREATEST ever Argentine footballer who is always compared with Pele.

 NO – NOBODY – COULD – EVER – BE – COMPARED- TO – PELE .

Pele was a  PERFECTIONIST – HUNDRED – PERCENT – GENIUS – AND  - MAGIC,  but this man  DEIGO MARADONA – WAS – A – GENIUS. He was NOT that perfectionist  and as precise, as Pele but he ran very close to Garrincha to be on the par with him to throw a CHALLENGE to Pele.

This is NOT the time to  reflect on those theories but to pay my TRIBUTE to this GREAT FOOTBALLER who definitely was one of the EVER – GREAT of some of the greatest footballers that the world has produced

Maradona as a “ HUMAN BEING ”

He was born in a very POOR family at Buenos Aires and his mother had a Brazilian root whereas his Father basically was from Paraguay but later on he moved to Buenos Aires for his job where Maradona was born. That was the reason why football was so very natural to him. He made himself as a footballer who won the JUNIOR-WORLD CUP for Argentina in 1978  and was there in the team of Senior National Squad of Argentina in 1978 for the World Cup.

Maradona at the age of seventeen was the member of that World Cup with Majid Bhiskar who also was a part of the Iranian Football team that participated in the 1978 World Cup. Both were seventeen years of age. Maradona did not play at all at India but Majid did. Maradona once came to India as a guest thereafter. Both the TEEN aged seventeen described here made their World Cup entry into and for their respective team at the age of seventeen. This was the age when Pele played his FIRST World Cup finals at Sweden scoring TWO to  help Brazil win that World Cup. The difference is also that Pele made his international debut for Brazil on July 16^th 1954 when he was only FOURTEEN years of age and his goal then had helped Brazil beat U.S.S.R by 1-0. This was the first of the humanism of Pele if one has to compare it with Maradona.

Maradona in 1978 was the member of that Argentina World Cup but was never allowed to even enter the pitch to play for Argentina,  but he was the member of that team under the Captaincy of Daniella Pasarella  and the coaching of Ceaser Minotti , who was the coach of that Argentine team. In 1986 he as the Captain of the World Cup for Argentina won that cup for Argentina. However more than winning that cup, it was the HAND –OF-THE-GOD-WHICH-MARADONA-CARRIED to win that World Cup for his country.

History Of Argentine Football and it’s condition from 1977 to 1986.

Human memory is SHORT and it is prone to  exaggeration.. There are many a things which people forget with the passage of the time.Here I shall write about the pitiable condition of the Argentine Football as the country and the pitiable economic crisis that argentina was passing through  and the contribution that this man made to Argentina.

Argentina was passing through one of it’s very very bad time economically.It was very hard for anybody to live at Argentina with any hope of even having a proper square meal for the day. Such was the condition  of that nation.

To put Argentina back into the fray there were many agencies that came to their succor and that was one that somehow helped Argentina to breathe free. However the FIFA and the F.I.H then took a decision to allow Argentina to host the World Cup Football first in 1978 between the periof of July to August and then the world Cup Hockey between the period October 1978 to December.

The reason was this two MEGA-INTERNATIONAL show would help a lot of tourist visiting that country beside watching these football matches and the tourney beside helping Argentina and it’s football to get stable and stand on it’s feet would help the nation to earn through tourism and the other means connected to the sports to rehabilitate themselves.

The World Cup hockey was won by Pakistan defeating Holland by 3-2 under the captaincy of Ishlauddin.The World Cup football was won by Argentina defeating Holland by 3-1 in a hotly contested finals.  Mario Kempes by scoring SIX goals in the entire tourney and TWO in the finals made Argentina win their inaugural World Cup .However the nation wanted to see Maradona at the age of 17 to play for them in the tourney but that did not happen because of their Coach Ceaser Minotti.

It was very necessary for Argentina to win that World Cup. The Argentine Football Federation was absolutely “ POCKETLESS- WITH – SKELETON – IN - CUBBOARD "  having nothing in terms of anything to run their football. That tournament was the ONE and ONLY one in which the matches were rescheduled in such a manner that the Brazilian team  which was at the swimming pool at their hotel was asked to immediately reach the venue to play their game against Peru ( if my mind is correct as well as the memory ) . The BRAZILIANS were shocked. However they were forced to reach the venue to play Peru. Without even having a p[roper warm up the Brazilains played and won that game by 3-1. All Argentina needed was to beat Peru by a margin of SIX goals and they beat them by 6-0.

 IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE PERUVIAN PRESIDENT WAS TOLD BY THE ARGENTINE TO CONCEDE FOUR GOALS WITHOUT HITTING EVEN A BACK TO THE ARGENTINE. The Peruvians instead let SIX and that ousted Brazil. .

For that MERCY , later Peru was , it is believed that, offered UNLIMITED amount of WHEAT by Argentina as the news then cried but how far it is true is anybody’s guess. However the Argentine thereafter till now have NEVER pumped more than THREE goals to Peru in any of the meeting in football afterwards. THAT IS A “ FACT ”

Well in that tourney, in the group matches Argentina had lost to Italy by 0-1 and that send such a FEAR and the DEATH to the entire country that the Argentines thereafter made everything possible for them to  keep them in the hunt and the manner that they ousted Brazil from the tourney completely contradicted everything that happened in that World Cup.

Another fact is the world Cup 1978 to amass a huge money for Argentina, the FIFA purposely allowed a THREE-TIER of a  kind of a grouping for the teams to qualify and the four teams to play for the finals and the PLAY OFF were too decided by the basis of the goal difference etc.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT A SEMI-FINAL OF THE TOURNEY WAS NOT PLAYED

The regrouping and the grouping went on in an manner that of the last preliminaries, the top two teams , Holland and Argentina made it to the finals by topping their groups while Brazil and Italy who had beaten Argentina by 1-0 in the earlier group encounter were made to play for the Bronze ie the HARD-LINE matches. That is how it went on. The semis were not played at all in that tourney and that is a RECORD and a UNIQUE kind of a HISTORY that World Cup offered.

Maradona takes a “ VOW ” -:

Many newspapers then, afterward wrote many lines about that Argentine win. It was here that Maradona took a VOW that he will WIN one World Cup atleast for Argentina in a very clean manner.

This VOW was as similar to the vow taken by Pele after Brazil had lost to Uruguay by 2-1 in the finals of the 1950 World Cup. Leading by 1-0 at the Maracanã Stadium in 1950, Brazil had lost to Uruguay by 2-1 to lose the trophy. So dejected were the Brazilian that many committed SUICIDE after that defeat. Many could not eat for many a days. It was here that Pele had taken the vow that  HE WOULD WIN THE WORLD CUP FOR BRAZIL BY BEATING URUGUAY IN THE WORLD CUP. That happened in 1970 when in the semis, The Brazilians hammered Uruguay by 3-1 with Pele selling that DUMMY to that Uruguayan goalkeeper and them pommelling Italy by 4-1 in the finals.

Condition Of The Argentine Football from 1978 to 1986.

Inspite of winning th World Cup in 1978 the Argentine football and it’s coffer could not fill their and them by the means that it ought to be. The Argentine Football started selling their HOT-PROPERTY to the European clubs but that too did not bring them any good fortune and it became very IMPORTANT for them to win the 1986 World Cup.

World Cup Football 1986

It was by the SKIN-OF-THEIR-TEETH that saw Argentina qualifying. They were very lucky to have gained that FOURTH spot from the Latin American Zone.

They had LOST to Brazil in the group qualifier and when Paraguay beat Peru or maybe Chile ( if my memory serves me correct at this age of 61)  by 5-2 in the last qualifier that Argentina somehow due to a better goal difference as compared to Peru qualified.

 HAD NOT ARGENTINA QUALIFIED IN THAT WORLD CUP THE FOOTBALL PERHAPS IN THAT WORLD FOR ARGENTINA WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER.

The condition of the club football in Argentina was that many a players were not paid in time and many did not receive their payments at all for the clubs that they were playing. Also the Argentine Football had promised to clear all the dues of the players after the World Cup.

IT WAS HERE THAT MARADONA “ VOWED ”  TO HIS FEDERATION THAT HE WILL BY ANY MEAN WIN THAT WORLD CUP FOR ARGENTINA. He took that vow only to SAVE the Argentine football.

Maradona Writes A Letter To “ ZICO ”

The World Cup 1986 was another instance when Brazil perhaps had the BEST-OF-THE-WORLD-MIDFIELDER.It had Socrates, Zico, Junior and Oscar at the midfield. It was as good as saying that Brazil Had Lord Shiva, Lord, Vishnu, Lord, Brahma and Lord Indra playing for them in the midfield.

However the problem was ZICO was injured. He received such a GHAST and such a WORST injury that he was not recuperating even after seven months of treatment .He wrote a letter to the Brazilian authorities to drop him from the squad.

It was here that Maradona rose up to the occasion. He spoke to Zico on the phone first and then wrote him a very HEART-TOUCHING letter saying that the Argentine football was completely DEAD. He further added that he saw a Brazil-Argentina finals in front of his eye.

The kind of the team that Brazil possessed then and the kind of a mid-field that they had, Maradona wrote to Zico that  PLAY ONLY FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES BUT PLAY THIS WORLD CUP NOT FOR BRAZIL BUT FOR THE FUTURE OF ARGENTINA AND IT’S FOOTBALL.

So moved was Zico that he deided to come to Mexico to play only for 15 to 20 minuters per match. When Maradona met Zico at Mexico he just said- ZICO IF THIS TWO SOUTH AMERICAN  MEET IN THE FINALS THE TV REVENUE WOULD BE SUCHTHAT THE ARGENTINE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION, THE MONEY IT GETS WILL REVIEVE FOOTBALL IN ARGENTIA FOR ATLEAST TEN YEARS.  Hence it was necessary for Zico to play in the tourney.

Zico in the World Cup 1986 DID NOT PLAY ANY GAME FOR MORE THAN TWENTY MINUTES EXCEPT THAR MATCH AGAINST FRANCE IN THE QUARTERS .That match in the QUARTERS was ONE where Zico missed a penalty immediately when he stepped into the field. THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE PENALTY OUT OF THE TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTENN THAT ZICO TOOK IN HIS ENTIRE FOOTBALL CAREER.

Tale Of Zico missing That “ PENALTY-SHOT ”.

In that quarters against France, Brazil were leading by 1-0 till the 44^th minutes when they conceded ONE in the 45^th immediately before the breather. A SILLY misunderstanding between the Brazilian Goalkeeper and the Central stopper saw the ball loosely going to Platini who scored from a hand shaking distance.

In the second half in the 73^rd minute, Zico was fielded in by the Brazilian coach. He was NOT even WARMED UP for the same. The reason ws Zico’s fitness was such that he could not play and was not in a position to play any games for more than 25 minutes . Twenty Five minutes is also too many a time to say, he was not even fit to play for 20 minutes at a stretch, such was his injury. As such Zico was NOT allowed and never allowed to WARM-UP before entering the field because a body warm up too needs about 15 minutes for a footballer, atleast to get him back into the frame.

Immediately in that match when Zico took the field, Brazil in the 74^th minute earned a penalty when Zico was brought down or maybe Careca was brought down in to the D ie the striking arena of France by one of their defender.

There was Careca, there was Junior, there was Oscar, there was Joisimar, all the PERFECTIONIST-EXPERTS to take the penalty .But the Brazilian coach signaled Zico to take that. Zico ws not even in a WARM-UP-BODY-CONDITION in terms of the state. He heeded to his Coach and his advice to take that shot and he missed out in that. THAT WAS THAT FOR BRAZIL.

Maradona After The Brazil- France Match - ::

Maradona was very SHATTERED after Brazil’s ouster from that 1986 WC tourney after Brazil had lost to france by 3-4 in the penalty shoot out. He met Zico after the World Cup and broke down. Zico patted him on the back saying- WIN IT FOR ARGENTINA AND MY LUCK IS WITH YOU.

He took out a picture of Jesus Christ and handed it to Maradona saying that – JESUS WILL GIVE YOU THE SENSE TO WIN IT. SORRY- COULD NOT HOLD YOUR DREAM TO PLAY YOU IN THE FINALS.

Not only the  Argentine captain was in tears. Most of the Argentine footballers were too. They too wanted Brazil to play Argentina in the finals. That would have brought such a HUGE collection of the TV revenue to the Argentine Football Federation that the Argentines felt that atleast their payments would be met with and done away with the Argentine Football Federation.

It was imperative for Maradona to anyway and somehow win that tourney. That is why in the Quarters against England he used his hand to push that ball off the England Goalkeepers head to the goal to run to the gallery and scream and act that is was a CLEAN GOAL, which it was not .However Argentina by that goal went on to reach the finals and in the finals they scored through,  Joe Brown, Josef Voldano  and Burruchhaga to beat West Germany then to win their SECOND WORLD CUP in their history of football .

Had NOT Maradona did that and if Argentina would have lost before the finals of that 1986 Worlc Cup, I guess and I Feel that Argentina and it’s football would have been over by then. It wouldhave been finished and it would have taken a LOT of decade thereafter for argentina to again bounce back to the reckoning of world and it’s football.

THAT IS WHY AFTER MANY YEARS HE CONFESSED THAT- THAT HAND WAS THE GOD’S HAND FOR ARGENTINA AND IT’S HAND . IT WAS THE “ GOD’S ” HAND FOR ARGETINA’S FOOTBALL 

World Cup 1990:: Maradona Does It Again , “ REPEATS ” The hand Of God

If the 1986 World Cup saw him doing the HAND of GOD to win the Trophy for Argentina, it again did that to take him and Argentina to the finals of the World Cup 1990.

It happened in the match against USSR then in 1990. In that World Cup in 1990, Argentina had lost to Cameroon by 0-1 in the very FIRST match and were held to a 1-1 draw by Romania in the secong group match .

After the loos against Cameroun, Maradona went on to add in the press that the defeat against Cameroun was such that his FEETS were no mre moving ahead and that he feels that the entire country of Argentina has been finished by the quake of the earth. With ONE point in two games in two encounters against his opponent against Cameroun and Romania, Argentina were at the last of the Group table in their group and in the last match they nneded to atleast beat the USSR by 2-0 so that even if they finished last in their group they would qualify as the BEST-LOSERS from the four group as all the group will choose and have ONE BEST LOSER to advance to the second round.

Argentina was the champion of the 1986 World VCup and that even if they finished ;last in their group but if they had beaten the USSR team by a margin of two goals, they would qualify as the BEST LOSERS and that was the only one hopes that remained.

Well in that match it was USSR and USSR all the way. Their STRIKER, Salenko was causing real headcahes for the Argentine defense .It appeared that any time the Argentine wall would collapse and Argentine would be dumped and out for ever in this World Cup ie the World Cup of 1990.

Watching a very conceit move which turned into a very composed one by the USSR where it appeared that the move will result into a definite goal, Maradona looking at it raced to the Argentine goal. Salenko with his spped beat the entire defense including the Goalkkeper and without looking that Maradona had taken the place at the goal of Argentina, Salenko after beating  Pompideau , the Argentine Goalkeper pushed the bal with a dseft left flick to the goal and jumped into the air hoping that IT WOULD BE A CLEAR HUNDRED PERCENT GOAL.

Maradona was the one who he did not notice. Maradona simply put his right hand tapping the ball ie stopping it to enter the goal. He was so fast and so quick in his action that  THE REFEREEE COULD NOT SEE HIM AT ALL DOING THAT. That goal was saved. Salenko rushed toward the referee stating that his was a handball and a penalty should have been awarded to USSR but the referee was in no mood to listen to that. That moment came and it went away.

Argetina then pumped two goals with Burruchagga scoring one. That made Argentina to win THREE points in their group and finish ahead of USSR in the goal difference but placing and finding themselves in the last position of that group. Cameroun and Romania had qualified as the group leader and group Runners-up and Argentina as the BEST loser also made it to the last  sixteen .

Argentina finally made it to the finals by defeating Brazil by 1-0 in the Quarters, by defeating Italy by 5-4 in the Semis and lost to Germany by a penalty goal in the Finals with Andre Brehm scoring that through that penalty to help West Germany win that World Cup.

Many a football supporter do not know this and many have forgotten this BUT I HAVE NOT.

NOT ONCE- BUT TWICE THAT HAND OF GOD SAVED ARGENTINA TO PLAY TWO WORLD CUP FINALS IN TWO YEARS WITH MARADONA PROVING A GOD-IN-REVERSE TO HELP THEM CARVE THAT RECORD.

THAT IS WHY AFTER MANY YEARS HE CONFESSED THAT- THAT HAND WAS THE GOD’S HAND FOR ARGENTINA AND IT’S HAND . IT WAS THE “ GOD’S ” HAND FOR ARGETINA’S FOOTBALL 

GOD OF FOOTBALL-: All About The Doubts Cleared By Him About Being " GOD " Of Football

This GREAT JUGULAR of football has for the second time had landed at Kolkatta

He DENIED that he is NOT the GOD OF FOOTBALL AT ALL .

FRANKLY- HE IS NOT

When it comes to WORLD FOOTBALL there would be THREE who would be placed above him

The FIRST would be ALFREDO DE STEFANO the Argentine who led the Argentina football team in the World Cup 1930

Thereafter there would be the LEGENDARy HENRY PUSKAS of Hungary who led the INVINSIBLE HUNGARIAN TEAM in the 1954 World Cup where they lost to West Germany by 3-2 in the finals but not before hammering West Germany by 8-3 in the group encounter

OVER AND ABOVE COMES THE GOD OF THEM ALL - PELE :::::: NO FURTHER WRITE UP

YEAH Mr DIEGO AMARANDO MARADONA - YOU ARE REALLY THE GOD OF FOOTBALL

HOW and WHY- HERE IS THE ANSWER

Immediately after the 1994 World Cup football finals where Brazil defeated Italy in the finals, you straight away went to Romarion and first asked him - ::

WILL YOU AS THE BEST FOOTBALLER OF THE WORLD , NOW , JOIN MY HAND TO -:

A). FORM AN ASSOCIATION TO RAISE MONEY TO HELP & FINANCE THE STARVING FOOTBALLERS ALL OVER THE WORLD SO THAT THEY ARE OUT OF THE WOOD

Immediately Romario said - YES and no sooner that he said it you took his help, help of all the Brazilian footballers of that 1994 World Cup winning squad and then you moved it on to some of the greatest footballers of your time to form an association and pool in a lot of money to distribute them to the needy footballers

B ) > When you were being treated at Cuba with Mr Fidel Crasto assisting you , you contemplated to make a body to raise the funds for the UNDER PRIVELEGED & THE STARVING kids to help them with nourishment, food, clothing free education and health care devices so that some of these kids turn up into a WORLD-CLASS Footballers

When you were asked by a reporter about this- you said-::

MY CHILDHOOD WAS FULL OF IMPOVERISH MOMENTS AND DEPRIEVED OF ALL THE BEST OF THE AMENITIES OF LIFE

If I can come up to be a WORLD CLASS FOOTBALLER these young one's who do not even have the mothers and fathers, leave apart the ROOF over their HEADS , if I can help them become a GOOD HUMAN BEING, we the WORLD will get GOOD or maybe the BEST of the FOOTBALLERS from these bunch of needy kids . That is my aim . TO BECOME THE BEST FOOTBALLER- FIRST YOU HAVE TO BE A AND THE " BEST " HUMAN BEING

Only the BEST HUMAN BEING TURN OUT TO BE THE " BEST " FOOTBALLER & I'M JUST TRYING TO GET SOME OF THEM and that is what you said then at Kolkatta.

Mr Deigo Maradona, you definitely are NOT the GOD of FOOTBALL when it comes to playing football That is Pele of Brazil, the BLACK PEARL

YOU ARE A GOD BECAUSE YOU MAKE GOD FROM VERY VERY ORDINARY SOULS- ALL HOMELESS , SICKFUL , AND NEGLECTED BY THE WORLD AT LARGE AND SOCIETY ...........

FOR ME- THAT IS THE REASON THAT YOU ARE A " GOD "

Maradona as a human being-:

He was a simple and a OPEN-HEARTED human being who was very SOFT in his approach and in his behavior. He DID receive a RED CARD in the 1982 world Cup when in a match against Brazil he KICKED Sergio, the Brazilian midfelder so hard in the rib cage that Sergio was almost dead.

However being very young in age then , only 22 years of age by then , he learned his lesson fast and thereafter HE NEVER RECEIVED EVEN A GREEN CARD. In the 1990 World Cup at Italy, he was literally KILLED by the inhuman and the merciless tackles and physicality's that he received in the entire tourney. His right leg was totally damaged by the opponents during the matches. However he kept Zico and Pele in his mind about the treatment that they received while playing the 1986 and the 1966 World Cup and he DID NOT RETALIATE. That was his GREATNESS.

Even after that SECOND hand of GOD in the World Cup 1990, Salenko was full in tears. After that game , Maradona went to Salenko, exchanged his jersey number 10 of his country and Argentina's national team's jersey , and patted him saying- WAIT, BETTER AWARD IS IN STORE FOR YOU. You are a very SPEEDY and a very PIERCING Striker and good award is awaiting you.

It happened in the 1994 World Cup .In the match against Cameroun, Salenko scored SIX goals in succession, ie SIX goals in a ROW to beat Cameroun by 6-0.

 " THIS IS THE ONLY INSTANCE OF A DOUBLE HATTRICK IN SUCCESSION IN A SINGLE FOOTBALL GAME IN THE WORLD CUP PROPER BY ANY PLAYER THAT PLAYED IN THE WORLD CUP FOOTBALL PROPER IN AND FOR A GAME. This is the ONLY instance of a double HATTRICK in ONE match in the entire HISTORY of the World Cup " . 

That SIX GOALS pipped Romario by a single goal and Salenko in the World Cup 1994  WON THE GOLDEN BOOT AWARD FOR BEING THE HIGHEST SCORER OF THAT WORLD CUP. How correct was Maradona in his assessment about the game of football. 

His Differences With “ PELE ”

During those era the world did not have the U-Tubes and the likes of them.The media to sell their cakes started using his name to compare with Pele and writing that he was many miles ahead of Pele.

Pic :: EMPORER PELE CRYING OVER MARADONA'S GRAVE -Solemnity of Geniuses

" The Greatest meets The Great "

This brought in a lot of flakes from the Brazilian and the Argentine press and the two got into putting their cases above the other. THAT RUINED THEIR RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER.

However it was he who saw the U-Tubes of the Brazilian Wizard very meticulously when he was recuperating after a rehabilitation process at Cuba then. He realized that Pele was far ahead of him when it boiled to ALL-ROUND-ABILTY of football . He then made amends by sending a BOQUET of ROSES to Pele stating that – WE ARE “ FRIENDS ”. Pele reciprocated and ever since then they became the GREATEST of friends.  Sorry  GREATEST he said to Pele when they embraced each other to which Pele replied- IT IS ALL IN THE GAME ON THE PITCH , NOT OUT OF IT.

Maradona was LOVED and respected by all his adversaries and contemporaries. He was ONE who saved Argentina and it’s football by that HAND-OF-GOD or else Argentine Football would have been …??? …???, ??? ….

With Garrincha gone and gone out of this world, football had lost it's one of the eye, and now with Maradona gone, football has lost it's eyesight, once for all as it is without any eye now. Only the HEART ie , Pele keeps on beating and it keeps on repeating. That is why Football is ALIVE even at this stage  , though it has become BLIND.  Once Pele is gone football will be DEAD for ever though the game will keep on it's flow to be played but without the SIGHT, and the beats of the HEART ten. That is a TRUTH , that is a FACT. 

 On a personal front he had many a friends , both from the arena of football and outside it . He had a SPECIAL admiration for Romario of Brazil and Dunga. Except for ONE occasion, he could not beat Dunga on the pitch . Never at all .The only FRACTION-OF-A-SECOND concentration lapse by Dunga in the 1990 World Cup match in the quarters, where Dunga lost his concentration and Maradona like a fox send that perfect ONE - PASS — DISSECTING diagonal for his centre forward to score, he could not beat Brazil or Dunga or Romario ,  in the SIX games he played against them either in the Copa America, or in the qualifiers and even in the world Cup. Infact in the Copa-America  Cup football finals in 1989, Brazil had beaten Argentina, led by Maradona by 2-0 with Beboto scoring a UNBELIEVABLE " AIR-BORNE- SCISSOR- SHOT - GOAL and Romario one thereafter to SCREW Argentina and Maradona by 2-0 . 

Every time ROMARIO and DUNGA paid to his dream and his hope to beat Brazil. If Romario and Beboto were not rpt NOT sidelined in the 1990 World Cup  for the entire World Cup , at Italy ,  playing against Brazil, perhaps Maradona would NOT have been able to beat Brazil in his entire career. The third Brazilian he was very DEAR and FOND of was Careca with whom he played  at Napoli at Italy and the combination  of the attacking mid-fielder and that striker upfront, was responsible to help Napoli and it’s KING to proclaim that NAPOLI were the KING of club football at Italy.

Well that is the story for you and that is why he used that HAND to save Argentina.

THAT HAND OF THE GOD SAVED ARGENTINA AND IT’S FOOTBALL FOR EVER.

Well , that is it

Regards and Thanks
