#2 Luis Suarez
The Uruguayan striker became an instant hero back home for what he pulled off during the 2010 World Cup against Ghana. He was no stranger to attracting controversy through multiple player-biting incidences. In June 2010, the South Americans battled Ghana in the quarter-final stage. As the tournament was held in South Africa, the Black Stars enjoyed the lion's share of the support.
Suarez instinctively handled the ball to keep out Dominic Adiyiah's point-blank header deep into extra time. The two sides drew 1-1 after 90 minutes with this incident being one the last pieces of normal action.
For his part, Suarez was shown a straight red card as he took a gamble that paid off. Asamoah Gyan missed the resultant penalty as Uruguay won the shootout 4-3 to advance to the semi-final.
#1 Diego Maradona
Argentina played England in the quarter-final of the 1986 World Cup. It was a battle between the maestro that was Maradona and clinical English striker Gary Lineker. However, it was Maradona who carried the day with one moment of brilliance and another of uttermost controversy.
He scored a contentious opening goal in the 50th minute when he won an aerial duel against goalkeeper Peter Shilton by simply punching the ball into the net. Despite wild protests by the English players, the goal stood as the referee did not spot the handball.
He went on to score a sumptuous second goal five minutes later when he danced his way past five English players including Shilton. The goal went on to be dubbed as 'hand of god' which is one of the most popular in world football.
