    I didn't know that and yes, it does seem a bit silly.

    However I bet if you asked Diego Maradona he would have claimed it to be the hand of god ;)

    That's the way it was! It's not like that anymore

    because of the way National Teams felt about

    winning a game so hard fought. That is why

    the inception of overtime periods, PK shootouts

    and stats are so important to games.

    I didn't know that. Surely it would have gone to a penalty shootout??
