Never heard of this, so I looked it up.

"The Hand of God" (Spanish: La mano de Dios) is the name given to the opening goal awarded to Argentine footballer Diego Maradona during Argentina's victory over England in a quarter-final match at the 1986 FIFA World Cup. The goal was allowed to stand because none of the match referees could see Maradona using his left hand to score.

A man ahead of his times. The Canadian winter Olympics team clearly were not that original.

Did he also yell he didn't touch it?

Huh, I always thought he just gave it a little nudge as it was flying by or something, but nope, he really went for that...
