The game allows players to control legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton. The game's title refers to the "hand of God" goal scored by Diego Maradona against England at the 1986 FIFA World Cup. During the course of the game, sixteen teams, taken from what was then the top-flight of English football, are available for the player to play against, while trying to improve
Diego Maradona the Azteca Stadium, also in Mexico City. After scoring two contrasting goals in the 2–1 quarter-final win against England, his legend was cemented. The majesty of his second goal and the notoriety of his first led to the French newspaper "L'Equipe" describing Maradona as "half-angel, half-devil". This match was played with the background of the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Replays showed that the first goal was scored by striking the ball with his hand. Maradona was coyly evasive, describing it as "a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God".
