I was in the Stade de France when Henry handballed it. I would not be going on about Henry when he dies like some of the the English media who probably weren't even born when that goal happened.
Maradona was responsible for his own actions though. Being born in England doesn't automatically make you responsible for what the British empire did 100s of years ago.
Maradona didn't abolish slavery, spread parliamentary democracy, establish common law rights, break the power of kings and usher in the modern world characterized by free trade and peace. Instead, he cheated in a game of football.
@@Lodatzor Fuck off, Maradona was one of the greatest footballers off all times, brought a world cup to his nation, and lets be honest made the entire world happy by denying the British who always think they are superior to the rest a world cup, and England would not have won the world cup ever if goal-line technology existed earlier.
@@ispyaspy6924 come back with something bit more thought out, end of the day it doesn't matter who it was against, he was a master on the pitch and people are trying to thrust one thing over the rest of his career.
Of course he will, because that gives them an excuse for losing. They definitely would've lost without that happening, because it's England, they're a bunch of bottlers, but with this they can say "we lost because Maradona cheated" and keep lying to themselves that they had a chance.

I'm English but why are people still salty about that after 34 years he even scored the best goal of the century in the same game Edit: Yes I get that he literally murdered our hopes of winning the WC and was a big cheater but then again he was still an amazing player Edit 2: Didn't mean to start a war in the comments Edit 3: And yes I'm not happy about that happening 34 years ago but it's not like I would go out of my way to show disrespect to a man who has just died and was one of the best players of all time
@Zamdd How can people say this shit? Obviously now it's too soon to bring it up, but he literally cheated. Imagine if it was your country that was in that position. The same thing happened to Ghana by Suarez - do you think they are going to cry about his death many years later?
@@koustavchatterjee9974 ffs a man died a man who scored one of the best goals ever a man who transformed napoli a man who won a world cup and all you care about is one moment in where your goalkeeper couldnt out jump him a moment in where the refrees were blind like come on just move on
I don’t understand why the media is still mad England was gonna lose that game any ways Argentina was better in 80% of the match And even if they some how won that game They had a zero chance to win against Germany if the final
We wouldn't of played Germany we would of played Czech republic so we probably would of won if we beat Argentina however you can't change history and I ain't mad over the handball anymore at the end of the day maradona had a winning mentality will always be a cheat and but did it in the best way possible for himself and his country
osipiner what? I’m pretty sure that England would face Belgium in the next game, had they on against Argentina. Also, there was Czech Republic in the 1980s. They were still Czechoslovakia back then, and they were not in the WC, if I’m not mistaken.
A perfect rant Irish guy! Let it go people. Maradona is a icon and should be respected as one. A legend in the game. The last bit about how we should appreciate Messi is right too. Stop bickering about who is better or Messi this Messi that. Lets just appreciate players like Messi and Ronaldo as they dont have much time remaining until they retire. RIP Maradona.

Kinda reminds me about when Kobe died and people were trying to bring up a lot of bad things he did in his life when the man had one of the most tragic accidents I've heard about in a long time and his family also had to deal with the loss of their daughter and some friends too. I'm no basketball fan but I respected Kobe for what he achieved in his sport but even if people didn't like him for the man he supposedly was or the player he was the very least thing you can do is show some damn respect. Same goes for Maradona and a lot of famous deaths really. So I just wanted to comment to say good on you for that you don't have to like him for any reason but at least you have respect
@KSK Fan That’s not even close the hand of god, you could definitely make an argument for “Aguerooo”, Messi dropping Boateng and chipping Neuer etc. But the point still stands, the news are mostly using the hand of god because it’s arguably the most famous moment ever.
Whenever I see the English media make headlines like this, it makes me hate the English media. If I was writing a report for a newspaper, I'd make it so that it praises one of the world's best footballers of all time. I never saw Maradona play football, but from what I've heard he was a wizard on the pitch, and that solo goal against England when he ran half the pitch with the ball was one of the greatest goals I have ever seen. Also, I would mention the fact that he won the player of the century award along side Pele. He was one of the best on the pitch but was troubled off the pitch. One of the greatest of all time. RIP Diego Armando Maradona.
As a kid still fuming about that handball I became so tormented trying to figure out how he could be so demonic one moment then do something so beautiful the next. And that was Maradona. RIP you legend you
I love how with maradona no one mentioned stats or goal scored it was just what he could do with a ball and how good he was at football, the way it really should be with messi. Forget about stats just watch football and enjoy it.
People who are telling him to get over Henry should know this that he has many times appreciated Henry as a player and also he would not mention such an incident when legend of the game passes away.
Everyone appreciates Maradona as a player. They just also remember than he handled the ball in a World Cup quarter final and lied about it, before gloating about it for the next 30 years. So, you don't really have a point.
@@Lodatzor But the media and you are bringing the hand of god at a not so appropriate time, and I respect him for what he did, every player in the world would have done the same thing in his place, and he never backed down to pressure.
@@Imperador-Vi *"But the media and you are bringing the hand of god at a not so appropriate time"* Who says it is inappropriate? You are free to celebrate him as much as you like. You will find a million deserved testimonials to his talent and importance as a footballer, from all across the world. There is no need to be upset just because England remember that once upon a time he cheated them, and even gloated about it afterward and said he would do it again. You have no reason to be upset about this.
@Paul Cooper *"no im pretty sure he was gloating about the fact that he dribbled through the entire england squad"* Then you're wrong, because he specifically gloated about having handled the ball and conned the referee. You know, cheating. Maybe where you come from cheating is okay, but in England, we like to win fair and square, You're just a pathetic bigot.
@Paul Cooper *"when someone dies"* Everyone is encouraged to look back upon their lives and reflect upon the effect they had. For example, in England, the country he cheated and gloated about cheating, Maradona is remembered for his cheating as much as his talent. That's because he cheated. You just don't care that he cheated because you don't care about fair play. *"I don’t even get why england fans were so upset"* Because you don't understand that cheating is wrong. Maybe you were raised to think that cheating is okay so long as you hate the people who are being cheated, *"Just acknowledge greatness when you see it."* Just acknowledge cheating when you see it. No-one was argued that Maradona wasn't one of the greatest players of all time. It's just that in England, the country he cheated and gloated about cheating, we remember him for cheating. You just don't care about playing fair.
@@siccfucc6615 Pepe was one of the greatest defenders on the face of the earth at some point, just overshadowed by his unjust ridicule, class player just not everyone’s cup of tea
@Turnips I think him being a phenomenal player should eclipse his antics on the pitch, but what he did to Francisco casquero was just a lapse in Pepes great career and it was in a rivalry match anyway so I think it’s no worse than what Scott brown does every old firm, Pepe is a great defender and no one can take that away from him
ppl who are criticizing maradona for his hand of god wouldve done the same thing for their country if they needed a vital goal and thats why i dont get suarez being a bad guy for saving the ball off the goal hw did it for his country they have true passion for football
@@manavarunaravind4290 Personally I hate suarez for what he did also, these are people that directly cheated there is no excuse there is no sportsmanship

You can't get over it, it's one of the most historical moments in football and it was the World Cup Semi Final Henry did admit it and he said he was ashamed and sorry, if that happened to us in the World Cup Semi Final we would be the same
Your best video ever imo, I enjoy the messing and quips but in this one we could really see your passion and love for the game and it was powerful. Come out from behind the eashing machine more often!
After hearing that last bit about comparing Maradona to Messi and appreciating him cuz of it, I’ve realized that it’s important to appreciate what time left we have of Messi. He’s been playing badly compared to past years of himself, and I’ll admit as a Barca fan I’ve been getting very frustrated. But thank you Irish Guy for making me realize that I should stop criticizing him so much, and just appreciate for all he’s done for the club, his country, and the beautiful game. He’s only got so much time left and he could be leaving Barca any day now, so why not enjoy his last days
I didnt knew english press only had a photo of Maradona's Handball😂 And if the English press really wanted to give respect they would put a picture of Maradona lifting the world cup which he is most famous for,or scoring arguably the greatest ever goal in WC history which happened in the same match or show Diego's photo lifting the scudetto or uefa cup with napoli.
Well, if that's what you want to believe then fine... For me he's one of the all-time greats and someone to be celebrated. Yeah, he fucked us over, but this was almost 40 years ago.. when disco was in the charts and the Soviet Union was still a thing. It doesn't matter anymore, and doesn't detract from what a player he was But, whatever suits your narrative. Dont forget, these are tabloid newspapers... creating divisive and eye-catching headlines is what they do.
This one got me a bit emotional - real class video. And as an English football fan I completely agree - we never have to be 'over' potentially losing a world cup game to that handball but it's tasteless and cretinous to be bringing it up now. This is a personal tragedy AND also the passing of someone who, despite that one incident, was a net blessing to the sport.
I just wanna say that I loved the Irish guys comments on Messi. I hate the never ending arguments on Messi and Ronaldo. Those people arguing never truly appreciate these two legends, who are basically the modern-day reincarnations of icons like Maradona and Pele. As unlikely as it is, please stop the arguments and appreciate and admire these two, don’t try to make one worse or better than the other. Because just like with Maradona, you really don’t know how much time we have left with these two.
Maradona is dead and england fans instead of respecting him are still slating him for cheating. Henry is alive and the irish guy acknowledges its not just his fault and also acknowledges that if henry died he wouldnt bring up the hand ball instead he will mourn him
While i love the homage to the legend that is Maradona wouldnt Aguero be more of an heir as at one point he was the son in law to Diego and while Messi is the modern version of him Aguero was a literal heir to him

Who says it is inappropriate? You are free to celebrate him as much as you like. You will find a million deserved testimonials to his talent and importance as a footballer, from all across the world. There is no need to be upset just because England remember that once upon a time he cheated them, and even gloated about it afterward and said he would do it again. You have no reason to be upset about this.
@Paul Cooper
*"no im pretty sure he was gloating about the fact that he dribbled through the entire england squad"*
Then you're wrong, because he specifically gloated about having handled the ball and conned the referee. You know, cheating. Maybe where you come from cheating is okay, but in England, we like to win fair and square, You're just a pathetic bigot.
@Paul Cooper
*"when someone dies"*
Everyone is encouraged to look back upon their lives and reflect upon the effect they had. For example, in England, the country he cheated and gloated about cheating, Maradona is remembered for his cheating as much as his talent. That's because he cheated. You just don't care that he cheated because you don't care about fair play.
*"I don’t even get why england fans were so upset"*
Because you don't understand that cheating is wrong. Maybe you were raised to think that cheating is okay so long as you hate the people who are being cheated,
*"Just acknowledge greatness when you see it."*
Just acknowledge cheating when you see it. No-one was argued that Maradona wasn't one of the greatest players of all time. It's just that in England, the country he cheated and gloated about cheating, we remember him for cheating.
You just don't care about playing fair.
When Ramos eventually passes away everyone will not remember anything good about his trophies, but all his red cards
Well ramos has a lot ofpretty good performance,pepe on the other hand......
And specially the 2018 ucl final
@@siccfucc6615 Pepe was one of the greatest defenders on the face of the earth at some point, just overshadowed by his unjust ridicule, class player just not everyone’s cup of tea
Ramos is a really good player and should be remembered for his
@Turnips I think him being a phenomenal player should eclipse his antics on the pitch, but what he did to Francisco casquero was just a lapse in Pepes great career and it was in a rivalry match anyway so I think it’s no worse than what Scott brown does every old firm, Pepe is a great defender and no one can take that away from him
Love it when the Irish tell the English to get over something! 😂😂

Who cares about the handball, that was 34 years ago and a thing of beauty.
ppl who are criticizing maradona for his hand of god wouldve done the same thing for their country if they needed a vital goal and thats why i dont get suarez being a bad guy for saving the ball off the goal hw did it for his country they have true passion for football

Never

Honestly if I got the chance to win a world Cup quarter final with my hand I would do it
You can't get over it, it's one of the most historical moments in football and it was the World Cup Semi Final
Henry did admit it and he said he was ashamed and sorry, if that happened to us in the World Cup Semi Final we would be the same
That end, gave me chills, what a talented speaker you are Irish guy
Haven't had enough analysis of Paul McShane lately, happy to see it.
8:49 ah yes. What beautiful “exclamation marks”
Love the message at the end, appreciate the greats while they're here and especially while they're still playing

Interesting video. My guess is that half that Southend XI is stacking shelves at Asda
@@nickgrch and my guess is half the United side are having shit careers. Oh shit I was right
I can understand why Peter Shilton was always resentful of Maradona, but I always think that time heals all wounds!
Not every one in England hates Maradona he's a legend
The difference between Maradona's handball and Henry's is the fact England actually were amongst the favourites to win it.
The difference is how both players reacted and the time between events
So does it mean that the Irish guy will forgive grealish and rice and Paul Mcshane and just forget it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
He gets another ten years before he can shut up, if we’re going by Hand of God rules...
just like you cant get over henry"s handball against ireland....
Your best video ever imo, I enjoy the messing and quips but in this one we could really see your passion and love for the game and it was powerful. Come out from behind the eashing machine more often!
5:05 this is no lie my grand father still talks about this 😂
If Alfie made this video I’d understand but...
After hearing that last bit about comparing Maradona to Messi and appreciating him cuz of it, I’ve realized that it’s important to appreciate what time left we have of Messi. He’s been playing badly compared to past years of himself, and I’ll admit as a Barca fan I’ve been getting very frustrated. But thank you Irish Guy for making me realize that I should stop criticizing him so much, and just appreciate for all he’s done for the club, his country, and the beautiful game. He’s only got so much time left and he could be leaving Barca any day now, so why not enjoy his last days
Not the 1st time he jumped over him 😂😂😂 CLASSIC 👏🇮🇪🇮🇪
From an English man RIP Diego mardona where is are respect .edit : it’s like saying rip Jose mourhino and Kane saying god had no respect.
Thats rich. Get over Henry
@ASComps Lol y u salty its a valid point he goes on about the Henry Handball in most of his videos its a little hypocritical in my opinion.
@@minian6569 he’s not dead tho is he
Yeah but he acknowledged Henry's handball. Twice.
@@minian6569 that was 10 years ago not 40 or so years ago

Wait til Henry passes and the Irish press finds out..
You just made my day , with this video. I Love you work.
I'm just gonna wait and see how the Irish media will cover Henry's death. I'll return to this comment section when he dies

what the hell man everyone wishes they had a player that would do anything to win for his country
Great work Michael. I can’t be the only one who really enjoys these off the cuff rant videos. Keep it up
To be fair, if Thierry Henry dies, the Irish media would show his handball against Ireland on the headline
If we should get over the maradona handball surely you should get over Henry’s?
Tbf, that is by far the most famous photograph of him, doing the thing he is most known for in this country? What did you expect?
I didnt knew english press only had a photo of Maradona's Handball😂
And if the English press really wanted to give respect they would put a picture of Maradona lifting the world cup which he is most famous for,or scoring arguably the greatest ever goal in WC history which happened in the same match or show Diego's photo lifting the scudetto or uefa cup with napoli.
That's the most famous picture of him in England, because the English refuse to get over it.
@@bri1085 nah, we're over it... the media and the Irish Guy like to pretend we aren't
@@billnyethebdsmguy7335 The Media is by the English for the English. and a lot of Englishmen don't seem to be over it not one bit.
Well, if that's what you want to believe then fine...
For me he's one of the all-time greats and someone to be celebrated. Yeah, he fucked us over, but this was almost 40 years ago.. when disco was in the charts and the Soviet Union was still a thing. It doesn't matter anymore, and doesn't detract from what a player he was
But, whatever suits your narrative. Dont forget, these are tabloid newspapers... creating divisive and eye-catching headlines is what they do.
This one got me a bit emotional - real class video. And as an English football fan I completely agree - we never have to be 'over' potentially losing a world cup game to that handball but it's tasteless and cretinous to be bringing it up now.
This is a personal tragedy AND also the passing of someone who, despite that one incident, was a net blessing to the sport.
From an argentine, thank you Irish Guy. Maradona always will be synonym of football.
8:48 three exclamation marks lol
9:58 What have I just witnessed
Something
That ending part was beautiful
I just wanna say that I loved the Irish guys comments on Messi. I hate the never ending arguments on Messi and Ronaldo. Those people arguing never truly appreciate these two legends, who are basically the modern-day reincarnations of icons like Maradona and Pele. As unlikely as it is, please stop the arguments and appreciate and admire these two, don’t try to make one worse or better than the other. Because just like with Maradona, you really don’t know how much time we have left with these two.
Exactly stop talking about the hand of God focus on his second goal against England
*shilton ask yourself*
How are you being outjumped

you're not even over the henry handball wdym XD
Yep
That was like 25 years later dumbarse.
He explained that Henry never acknowledged it.
Maradona is dead and england fans instead of respecting him are still slating him for cheating. Henry is alive and the irish guy acknowledges its not just his fault and also acknowledges that if henry died he wouldnt bring up the hand ball instead he will mourn him
when i was younger i saw the hand of god goal about 20 times before i saw his solo goal in the same game for the first time. sums it up really
Yr words Irish guy are like angels playing flutes 😂😂😂
RIP Maradona :(
While i love the homage to the legend that is Maradona wouldnt Aguero be more of an heir as at one point he was the son in law to Diego and while Messi is the modern version of him Aguero was a literal heir to him
Excellent Vid Irish Guy as always
Also its amazing that messi recreated both of maradonas most famous goals in games which make the comparison ever more amazing
