Soccer player admits cheating - Pak24tv

Diego Maradona, who led Argentina to victory in this year's World Cup soccer tournament in Mexico, has confessed that he used his hands to score a vital goal against England, according to a British press report yesterday. In what London's Sunday Express described as an exclusive interview with Maradona at Naples, Italy, the star player was quoted as admitting he punched the ball past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton as they went for a high centering pass during a quarterfinal match in Mexico City's Aztec Stadium. At the time, press reports quoted Maradona as saying it was "the hand of God" that put the ball into the net to help Argentina score a 2-1 triumph over England. According to the Sunday Express, however, Maradona said through an interpreter. "Of course, it was not the hand of God. It was me. A lot goes on in a game, and I am cunning. I know what I have to do, and at that time I was very lucky." Pak24tv
