I don't know any German, but the word looks to be pronounced "man shaft." There's really only one obvious answer. It wasn't the right answer, but I stand by it.
Mann is indeed the German word for man but it's pronounced more like the mon in money. And Schaft is indeed the German word for shaft but again it's pronounced differently: More like the shuff in shuffle and then add the t. If that makes any sense whatsoever.
I'm French, we say way more often "les Bleus" or "Allez les Bleus!" (Let's go Blues!) than "les tricolores". In fact we nickname all our national sport teams "les Bleus"...
It counted because the referee did not see it. It became infamously called "the hand of God" afterwards. Fortunately for him Maradona also scored the "goal of the century" during the same game !
Maradona's goal is more often called the Hand of God. That was the most blatant cheating I've ever seen in an organized sporting event. Everyone saw it except the refs. I'd hardly justify that awful sportsmanship by calling it the Goal of the Century.
You are confusing goals. In this match, Maradona scored two goals. One of them was the "Hand of God" (an awful cheat), and the other was the "Goal of the Century" (probably the best goal in any World Cup so far)
It clearly states that the Hand of God goal was the other goal aside from the Goal of the Century. The GotC was Maradona's solo run from beyond the center line, passing four opponent players including the keeper. It was his second goal only minutes after the shambolic one.
I don't think you're really French. "Equipe tricolore" is commonly used, whereas we *never* say "les tricolores". Regardless, the most commonly used nickname is "les Bleus".
I missed three about nicknames (only guessed the australian's one because I learnt it like one day ago). I tried Gaellic for the french one, but I'm not surprised it didn't count.
If you go to French Wikipedia, you will see that their team is also called Les Tricolores, which is what I tried, but wasn't accepted.
It must have been : Who scored two unforgetable goals against Brazil in 1998 ?
But a headbutt... and in the Final! (and his final game!)... That an image for eternity!
(Let's be honest, it's the first thing anyone remember about Zidane. Next thing is the goal against Leverkusen)
