Think of Mexico ’86 and you think of Diego Maradona. Every Goal of World Cup ’86 shows again the ‘Hand of God’ plus 131 other memorable World Cup goals including Gary Lineker’s hat trick against Poland which set him on the road as top scorer of the tournament. Mexico ’86 provided some high scoring first round matches with Brazil taking four against Poland, Spain’s 5-1 defeat of Denmark and Belgium’s 4-3 result over Russia.

The quarter finals created two class contests with Brazil v France, won by France 4-3 on penalties and Argentina v England. The semi-finals saw Argentina beat Belgium 2-0 with both goals scored by Maradona and West Germany beat France 2-0. Victory in the final fell to Argentina with dramatic 3-2 win over West Germany!
