Lol, yeah. That game in 1986 must have hurt. One of the most beautiful goals of all time (which Messi has replicated twice), then that awful hand-of-g-d goal (which Messi, sadly, has also replicated twice).

I care, what can I say. I want clean fútbol.
Soccer is played by gloriously messy human beings. A bit of schmutz now and then is not so terrible a thing.

That adds to Messi's greatness, since he's not "gloriously messy".
I would say that Messi is gloriously messy.
At the very least we can say he is gloriously Messi.
It was opposite order. Hand goal, then dribble.
The second goal should also never have stood. Clear foul on Glenn Hoddle.
36 years on and still seething x)
The Hand of God is a clear foul, but the Goal of the Century is clean as a whistle. Funnily, these two goals alone — both so different — are pretty much the summary of Diego Maradona
