Argentinian player Diego Maradona once scored an improbable goal using his hands against England. Refs failed to see his “Hand of God” play and allowed the goal. The score gave Argentina the lead and they never gave it up.

Later in the game, Maradona scored “the goal of the century,” dribbling around five English players before dispensing the ball in the back of the net. The goal assured Argentina a victory, but the handball is what England has been fuming about since 1986. Maybe 2018 will change things!
