Hand of God Video Game Re-Creation

Should have put the original call from Uruguayan announcer Victor Huho Morales, who started crying and reciting improv poetry while yelling “Goooool Argentino!!!” after Maradona scored the second. Precious moment.

I remember following the ‘86 Cup on the Spanish language media. At the time I lived in LA, and as with the final, was at the beach in Santa Monica listening on the radio. It was really cool sitting around with a bunch of Mexican Americans that gathered to listen, since they were kind enough to translate some of the play-by-play for me. I got alot of good-natured grief that day for backing England.

I remember that Spanish commentator. As Maradona came near the end his mazy run, all Morales did was scream ‘Genius, Genius, Genius’.. followed by one of the longest ‘GOOOAL’ shouts in history.
