This is a print commemorating Victor Hugo Morales’ commentary as Maradona dribbled through the entire England squad to score one of the sickest goals in history during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Buy it here.
Beautiful art.
This throbbing Moustache has somehow got Alexi Lalas growing out of it

Issue two of XI Quarterly features an illustration of Lalas by Stanley Chow, but sadly not sporting this remarkable ‘tache.
Maradona’s goal against England. The reverse angle.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this angle before. You can clearly see him shoot it, which you can’t in the side view (which almost makes it look like it may have been an own goal, resulting from the sliding tackle).
I’ve been to this archive before.
While conducting some research for issue two of XI, we came across the cover of this 1904-5 edition of Spalding’s “Soccer Foot Ball Guide,” held in the University of Southern Illinois’ Henry D. “Hap” Meyer’s Collection.
