Making Things Right: Maradona’s Greatest World Cup Game
Update: 2025-07-23
Description
Have you ever made a mistake? And tried—desperately—to make it right?
In this episode of The CC Tapes, we revisit Diego Maradona’s World Cup semifinal against Belgium in 1986. Four years after a painful red card and World Cup exit in 1982, Maradona returned older, wiser, and determined to fix what had gone wrong.
What followed in Mexico was a performance of total dominance. A dribble clinic. Two unforgettable goals. And the full flowering of Bilardo’s ruthless Argentina.
This isn’t just a story about football. It’s about second chances.
About the shift from Menotti’s poetic idealism to Bilardo’s pragmatic grind.
And about Maradona—the most human of footballing gods—trying to make things right.
