The World Cup is full of many shots that are engraved in the memory of football fans, whether it is scoring goals, making impressive tactical mistakes, and sometimes it may reach violent responses or unacceptable behavior.

As usual, the World Cup is held every 4 years, and it is the turn of the State of Qatar to win this high honor and host the 22nd edition.

In the following lines, we highlight 5 snapshots immortalized in the history of the championship matches, which were launched for the first time in 1930.

Maradona's "Hand of God" goal (1986)

At the "Azteca" stadium in Mexico City, Argentine soccer legend Diego Armando Maradona messed with the world's minds and the England national team's defenses.

This stadium hosted the quarter-final match of the World Cup in Mexico between "Tango" and "The Three Lions" on June 22, 1986.

In view of what happened in that match, Maradona alone was enough to expel the "Three Lions" from the World Cup after he scored two goals for the Argentine national team, compared to a single goal for the English scored by Gary Lineker.

Maradona jumped higher than everyone else, and from England goalkeeper Peter Shilton, then pushed the ball with his hand towards the net, in a light and quick movement that struck the Tunisian referee, Ali Ben Nasser, who awarded the goal despite the overwhelming protests of the English.

Years after this immortal shot, Diego Maradona, who died on November 25, 2020, admitted that he had scored the goal "a little with Maradona's head and a little with God's hand."

Maradona refused but to immortalize that match in football memory when he scored a goal after manipulating six players and the goalkeeper, before putting the ball into the net, which was the goal that was chosen for the most beautiful title in the history of the World Cup tournaments.

An unforgettable goal 🧐

Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal against England will forever go down in #FIFAWorldCup history 🇦🇷

Rickard Spit On Fuller (1990)

The Netherlands and Germany national teams set a fiery date in the final price of the World Cup in Italy, and they met on the grounds of the "San Siro" stadium on June 24, 1990.

In that match, Rudi Voller, the Germany striker, dribbled two players from the Netherlands before Frank Rijkaard, the “mills” player, interfered to block him, and the Dutchman received the yellow card.

Rijkaard's intervention did not please Fuller, and the two entered into a heated dialogue, during which the Dutchman spat on the German, who rebelled but received a yellow card in the 21st minute.

One minute later, Netherlands goalkeeper Hans van Breukelen blocked a ball before colliding with Fuller, which prompted Rijkaard to clash with him, so Argentine referee Juan Carlos Lastao decided to expel them together.

As they went out to the locker rooms, Rijkaard repeated his act, and directed another spit at Fuller.

It's Frank Rijkaard's birthday today.

You know, great footballer, Milan hero, rest on Rudi Voller.

3 yellow cards for one player (2006)

English referee Graham Poll made a catastrophic mistake during the match between Croatia and Australia on June 22, 2006, which was held for the third round of the group stage.

In that famous match, Paul raised the yellow card in the face of Croatian Josep Simuntic a quarter of an hour after the start of the second half.

ON THIS DAY: In 2006, Graham Poll showed Josip Šimunić three yellow cards in Croatia's 2-2 draw with Australia at the 2006 World Cup before sending him off.

Then the same player committed a violation that deserves a second card, which actually happened in the 90th minute, so Paul raised the second yellow card, but the shock was that he did not take out the red card, amid everyone's confusion.

Simontich did not escape the expulsion because he made a third mistake in the third minute after the 90th, to win the "third" yellow card, which turned red, in a historic precedent in the World Cup matches.

Zidane's headbutt (2006)

French star Zinedine Zidane fell into the trap of his counterpart Marco Materazzi, the Italian national team defender, who in turn succeeded in provoking "Zizou" and extracting the worst in him.

The final match of the World Cup in Germany on the ninth of July 2006 stopped suddenly at the 110th minute, and Argentine referee Horacio Elizondo was seen heading towards his assistant, at a time when Materazzi was on the ground.

After a short dialogue between the two referees, Elizondez returned and raised the direct red card in the face of Zidane, who turned out to have directed a strong headbutt to Materazzi's chest.

TV replays indicated that after Zidane passed Materazzi, the Frenchman returned to do his "shocking" act, after which many European reports revealed that the Italian defender insulted Zidane, which prompted him to respond in this way.

⚽️ Was this the most iconic moment in World Cup history?

Who remembers when Zinedine Zidane got sent off for head butting Marco Materezzi in the 2006 @FIFAWorldCup?

What surprises can we expect this year?

Suarez Bite (2014)

The "Arena das Dunas" stadium in the Brazilian city of Natal was the scene of one of the most important matches of the 2014 World Cup, which brought together Uruguay and Italy in the third and final round of the group stage.

Each team set its sights on the three points in order to pass through the first round and send its opponent home, on June 24, 2014.

In one of the attacks of the Uruguay national team, while the ball was entering the Italian penalty area, Luis Suarez, the "Celeste" striker, bit Giorgio Chiellini, the "Azuri" defender.

🗣 “I lost my balance and hit my face against Chiellini, leaving a small bruise on my cheek and a strong pain in my teeth”

Five years ago today, Luis Suarez came up with the worst excuse ever after sinking his teeth into Giorgio Chiellini 🙈pic.twitter.com/RoP9F6KuRz

Chiellini fell to the ground in pain, and Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez did not care about his cries, as Suarez escaped punishment temporarily, because the arena referee did not monitor his behavior, which was widely condemned in the media.

After the end of that match, which ended with a 2-0 victory for Uruguay, Suarez paid the price for his act. FIFA issued his punishment by depriving the “postolero” from playing internationally and with clubs for a period of 4 months, in addition to paying a fine of $ 92,000.
