What Diego Maradona Overcame When He Was A Professional
When Diego became a professional he lead his team big, but besides that he lead his team to success including teams in Argentina,Italy, and Spain. He played midfield so he can assist and score i picked him because I play midfield too and that he's from Argentina and my dad's from Argentina so which means that half Argentina so to share that Diego had a effect to everyone in Argentina was one of the best of all time.I would describe Diego by fearless,hard-working,tough,determined, and powerful.
Hand Of God
When Maradona made his goal vs England the refeeres didn't see it but maradona made it with his hand but they didn't call it. At the end of the game when they were at the interview he said it was the hand of god.

Did He Have A Negative or Positive effect
Diego I think had a positive thought on soccer because he did good for his country and clubs. He's one of the best of all time to me. The effect that he did was scored more goals then anyone during the time he got records for Barcelona which I think he played the best at. I learned that he did drugs when he got older which is bad for your health so he has trouble in his older life.
1986 Fifa World Cup
Diego was the best at the the Fifa World Cup he had five assist and five goals including his famous hand of god. In the game vs England he had the two goals, the first goal he overcame this obstacle by scoring with his hand which was a rick, but they didn't see it but at the after game he said that it was the hand of god. His second goal was all most the same he past all the defenders and past the goalie. But after he won the Fifa World Cup in 1986 it change his life for ever because now he as one of three that Argentina has.
1990 and 1994 Fifa World Cup
In 1990 after winning in 1986 he played anther world cup they barely made it to the second round, because during there first round they didn't play good but they made the second seed for the round of sixteen. They were going to go against there reval Brazil they won that game one to zero because of diego assist to Claudio Caniggia. In the quarter finals vs France they tied at the end of the game, so they went to penalty kicks they won , but Diego missed his penalty kick but Argentina still won. So now they get to go to the finals vs West Germany they lost because of of a penalty kick on the eighty fifth minute.
In 1994 it's going to be Diego last Fifa World Cup in the USA he got to play in two games by Boston but only scored he only in one game vs Greece, but after that he failed his drug so he can't play anymore games in the Fifa World Cup in 1994 and that ended his career for International with Argentina
