11 on 11, every football game starts, but it does not necessarily end the same way. We take a look at some of the most iconic, err... most infamous and controversial red cards in the history of football World Cup.

#10 Diego Maradona vs Brazil (1982)

Match: Second Round | World Cup Host: Spain

After finishing second in their group at the 1982 FIFA World Cup, Argentina were drawn against Brazil and Italy in the second round. Italy defeated Argentina 2-1, thus leaving the Argentines a do or die game against Brazil.

Trailing 3-0, Brazilian player Joao Batista da Silva fouled Maradona’s teammate which to everyone’s shock went unnoticed. Maradona decided to take things in his own hands and quickly reacted with a dangerous kick.  This was the end of Maradona's stay on the pitch and Argentina crashed out of the World Cup.
