Starts at 6 on ESPN both of these are only a half hour long. I think a full 30 for 30 on Maradona would be epic though.

The playoff game between Chile and the Soviet Union. The Soviets boycotted and Chile scored one goal against nobody to advance.

Verdict so far:

1. Some of those tackles…good lord

Also..

2. "Maradona is a genius."

Pretty sad that our country supported this murderous a-hole in Chile.

That was so moving. Imagine playing for your country after your mother had been brutalized and abused. He probably got that red card on purpose.

I really hope UnluckyTiger weighs in as he is of Chilean descent.

Wow. So not only did he use his hand to score against England, he was also offside as frick

Although the second goal was sick as shite.

When did the rule change? He would have been onside using today's rules.

Both of those documentaries were mediocre at best. Each deserved at least an hour. "The Opposition" probably deserved two hours.

Yeah I think The Opposition should have been a full length 30 for 30. It didn't really go much into detail about the team and political situation.

That second Maradona goal against England was insane, so was the announcer. I won't erase that from DVR just for that call.

This. Great subject matter, but those were 2 of the worst ones IMO. The Brit who did the Maradona one, looked like he mailed it in.
