    If anyone can answer this question, I will be grateful.

    The most important play Maradona ever made was his pass to set up Burruchaga's WC winning goal in the '86 final.

    The question I have is, with which foot did Maradona make the pass (con cual pie hizo Maradona la pasa)?

    Because he clearly was leaning left before he made the pass (luring the German defense into flat-footedness), I'm convinced it had to be his right foot, but the camera angles I've seen are inconclusive.

    Does anyone know for sure? How do you know?

    I didn't say best. I said "Most Important."

    It won Argentina the World Cup, Maradona's pinnacle of success.

    Without that Cup, Maradona's reputation would not have been what it is.

    That triumph marked Argentina's entry into the Elite Four of world soccer - two Cups in three tournaments, the first non-home win by a country other than Brazil, Germany or Italy in 36 years.

    That's what made the play so important. It was admittedly not Maradona's most spectacular or best play, but it was probably his most clutch play.

    The question stands: Which foot did he use?
