087 Hand of God, Ying-ah's sworn enemy relationship

Just after England's game against the Netherlands.

The final match of the quarter-finals, between Argentina and Belgium, will take place eight hours later at the National Stadium in Brasilia.

Argentina has been in the top 8 in the previous two sessions. Excluding penalty kicks, the last time the quarter-finals were won was in 1986 with a 2-1 victory over England.

In the end, with the goal of Higuain, Argentina beat Belgium 1-0 and advanced to the semi-finals.

In the end, the World Cup semi-finals have all been born.

The game time and match arrangement for the semi-finals have already been determined.

Brazil vs Germany on Wednesday, July 9th.

England vs Argentina on Thursday 10 July.

The two teams in the World Cup final will be selected from the winners of the semi-finals.

...

After the quarter-finals are all over.

What people talk about is still the battle between England and the Netherlands.

Compared to other games, the two teams scored a total of seven goals.

More than the other three games combined!

At this stage of the competition, it is quite rare to be able to score so many goals.

After all, the knockout rounds, like the finals, are decided in a single game.

Any team will be a little bit cautious when they play this kind of game.

Therefore, there will also be an unnamed game in the final.

Therefore, in the World Cup, it is still the knockout stage of the quarter-finals. Within 90 minutes of a single game, the two teams combined to score seven goals. It is really rare.

Therefore, it is normal for this game to become the focus.

The England team has also become more hot.

....

On the England side.

Fans still have high hopes for this game against Argentina.

speak up.

England and Argentina are mortal enemies.

First of all, the political relationship between the two countries is quite hostile.

The two sides fought a battle for the Falklands that year.

Argentina was defeated.

Although England as the winner does not have much feeling for Argentina.

But in football, they feel much deeper.

Because, back then, Maradona's "Hand of God" suffered from England.

Diego Maradona, then captain of the Argentina national team, scores England with the ball during the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico at the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City on June 22, 1986. The team's goal, this is the famous "hand of God" (handgod) incident.

At that time, in the 6th minute of the second half, the two sides were still tied 0-0. Maradona first gave the ball to team-mate Valdano on the wing, whose shot was blocked by England defender Hodge, and then returned to goalkeeper Hilton. At this time, although Maradona grabbed the first point, in the face of the tall Hilton, he thought it was extremely difficult to head the ball. In the end, he chose to hit the ball into the goal with his hands. He was short and his movements were very concealed. Tunisian referee Nasser did not notice it and ruled that the ball was valid. Although Hilton and his teammates argued vigorously, the outcome could not be changed.

After taking the lead with this goal, Maradona then scored one of the most exciting goals in the history of the World Cup - "Goal of the Century". In this game, Argentina finally won 2:1 and finally won the World Cup championship.

It can be said that without this misjudged goal.

Whether Argentina can beat England to advance in that year is still unknown.

And England was also blocked from the semi-finals because of a misjudgment.

This of course made England fans quite brooding.

Compared to being regarded as a hero by the whole country of Argentina.

Maradona's image in the eyes of England fans has always been bad.

Especially with England protesting the goal.

The Argentine was celebrating the goal (video shows Maradona watching the referee out of the corner of his eye).

This made the English very angry with the Argentine players.

Moreover, in the post-match press conference, Maradona declared that the goal was "half the hand of God, half the head of Maradona" (a littlethe handgod, and a littlethe headmaradona), extending God It is the ultimate dictator of goals or not, thereby further humiliating the English.

For the Argentines who had just been defeated by the British in the "Falklands War", winning may be the best way of revenge. Maradona believes that this goal is God's punishment for England, which further intensified the feud between Argentina and England in football. At this time, the relationship between the two countries was very tense.

And even years after this World Cup ended, Maradona still didn't think there was anything wrong with his handball goals.

He believed that this was God's punishment for the English.

When a Daily Mirror reporter asked Maradona what "the hand of God means", Maradona said: "This goal is not my heartfelt deception. I'm not disrespecting the English, but in the There are so many goals on the pitch in Argentina. I was jumping on the pitch that afternoon, but I wasn't tall enough so I had the hand of God."

Maradona said that among South American football players, the "hand of God" method is very common, and most referees do not call fouls.

Of course, such a statement angered the English even more.

They denounced Maradona as a thief and Argentina stole a victory.

The relationship between the two teams is naturally more hostile.

Therefore, in this game, many England fans mentioned the hand of God when they were interviewed.

They hope that the team will defeat Argentina in the semi-finals to avenge the revenge of the year!

....

And here in Argentina.

If it is said that the English people have more hatred for Argentina than football.

So for the Argentines who lost the war on their doorstep.

For the United Kingdom, that is complete national hatred.

However, Argentina has now degenerated from a developed country in South America to a non-industrial country, and its national strength is weaker than that of the Falklands War decades ago.

Of course, the British Empire has also been weakened outrageously.

But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.

No matter how weak Britain is, it cannot be compared to Argentina.

Therefore, Argentina, which cannot compete in this regard, pinned its emotions on football.

"We have to teach the British a good lesson!"

"It's a game you can't lose!"

"Long Live Argentina!!"

When football meets politics!

The fans became even more frenzied.

....

It can be said that these two teams met in the World Cup semi-finals.

Even neutral fans were a little excited.

Perhaps, this one carries too many games...there will be some unexpected results.
