Chapter 970 The Hand of God, the Enemy Between Ying and Ah
987 God's Hand, Ying-A's Enemy Relationship
Just after England's game against the Netherlands.

The last game of the quarter-finals, between Argentina and Belgium, is played at the National Stadium in Brasilia in eight hours.

阿根廷此前2届都止步于8强。如不包括点球战，上次赢得1/4决赛还是1986年2比1胜英格兰。

In the end, with Higuain's goal, Argentina beat Belgium [-]-[-] and advanced to the semi-finals.

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

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

Wednesday, July 7, Brazil vs Germany.

Thursday, July 7th, England vs Argentina.

The two teams in the World Cup finals will be born among the winners of the semi-finals.

After the quarterfinals are all over.

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

Compared with the other games, the two teams scored a total of seven goals in this game.

More than the other three games combined!
At this stage of the game, it is quite rare to be able to score so many goals.

After all, the knockout matches, like the finals, are determined in a single match.

Any team will be a little more cautious when playing this kind of game.

Therefore, there will also be a saying that there will be no name in the final.

Therefore, in the World Cup, which is still the knockout round of the quarter-finals, it is really rare to see a game where both teams combined to score seven goals within nine or 10 minutes of a single game.

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

And the England team has become even hotter because of this.

On the England side.

Fans still have high hopes for this game against Argentina.

speak up.

England and Argentina are mortal enemies.

Let me talk about the political relationship between the two countries first, which is quite hostile.

Back then, the two sides fought a war for the Falklands.

Argentina was defeated.

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

But in football, their feeling is much deeper.

Because, Maradona's "Hand of God" back then, it was England that suffered.

1986年6月22日，在墨西哥城阿兹台克体育场进行的1986年墨西哥世界杯足球赛1/4决赛中，时任阿根廷国家队队长的迭戈·马拉多纳用手把球攻入了英格兰队的球门，这就是著名的“上帝之手“(Hand of God)事件。

At that time, the game progressed to the 6th minute of the second half, and the two sides still fought to a 0:0 tie.Maradona first gave the ball to his teammate Valdano on the wing, whose shot was blocked by England defender Hodge, and then passed back to goalkeeper Hilton.At this time, although Maradona grabbed the first point, facing the tall and burly Hilton, it was extremely difficult for him to head the ball. In the end, he chose to hit the ball into the goal with his hands. Because of his short stature and his movements were very subtle, the Tunisian referee Nasser did not find it and ruled that the ball was valid. Although Hilton and his teammates argued hard, the outcome could not be changed.

After taking the lead with this goal, Maradona then scored the most exciting goal 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.

It can be said that without this misjudged goal.

It is still unknown whether Argentina can beat England to advance.

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

Of course, this made England fans quite worried.

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 when England protested the goal.

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

This made the English very annoyed at the Argentine players.

Moreover, in the post-match press conference, Maradona declared that the goal was "half of the hand of God, and half of Maradona's head" (A little of the hand of God, and a little of the head of Maradona), implying that God is the ultimate master of scoring or not, thereby further humiliating the British.

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

Even after many years after the end of this World Cup, Maradona still does not think there is any problem with his handball goal.

He believes that this is God's punishment for the English.

When the "Daily Mirror" reporter asked Maradona "what does the hand of God mean?" Maradona said: "This goal is not my sincere deceit. I don't disrespect the British, but on the pitch in Argentina, there are many such goals. In the game that afternoon, I jumped on the field, but I was not tall enough, so I had the hand of God."

Maradona said that among South American football players, "God's hand" scoring is very common, and most referees don't 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 in the interviews.

They hope that the team will defeat Argentina in the semi-finals to avenge that year!
And here in Argentina.

If it is said that the English hate Argentina more than football.

So for the Argentines who lost the war at home.

For Britain, it is a complete national hatred and family hatred.

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

Of course, the British Empire was also unbelievably weak.

But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.

No matter how weak the United Kingdom is, it is not comparable to Argentina.

Therefore, Argentina, which cannot compete in this respect, puts its emotions on football.

"We have to teach the British a lesson!"

"This is a game that must not be lost!"

"Long live Argentina!!"

When football meets politics!

The fans became even more fanatical.

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

Even the neutral fans got a little excited.

Perhaps, this game carries too many games. There will be some unexpected results.
