Well, I can only tell you
my reaction: I didn't like it. And I find it sad that that goal was scored in the same game as the incredible, unbeleivable, unforgettable second goal, the best of all times.
In Argentina, "cheating" (simulating fouls, using the hands and wrongdoing while the referee is looking elsewhere), has become common practice, even part of the game for some people. I don't like it now and I didn't like it back in 1986.
