Who knows eh , what if?I don't think he did it deliberately - it was pure instinct. Should he have told the referee he used his hand? Sure. But how many players these days are honest about penalties, free-kicks or corners? Not many. Everyone tries to con the ref. At least he admitted he cheated. I'm not excusing his behaviour, but perhaps it's not as bad in retrospect as we felt at the time. Yes, it still hurts as Mexico 86 is my favourite World Cup, but it's one incident in Maradona's sensational career and realistically we probably wouldn't have won the match at 1-1, let alone the World Cup.
But that unsavoury incident will always rankle with me , and I’ll forever dislike the git because of it.
