World Cup 1982 - Arcane Astral Aeons - 09-06-2018
Held in Spain between 13th June/11th July
This World Cup Had Drama The Quickest (Then) Goal Scored
An Outrageous Assault A Team Being Taken Off The Field Due To A "Phantom Whistle"
And The First Ever World Cup Penalty Shoot-Out
Honduras,New Zealand,Cameroon And Kuwait all made their World Cup debuts
And Kuwait Certainly Made Their Mark(more of that later)
The usual suspects were there...Argentina(get to them shortly)Brazil Italy and of course West Germany
This world cup also welcomed back England for the first time since 1970
also present for the third world cup in a row were Scotland
also representing the home nations were Northern Ireland
Groups
1-Poland-Italy-Cameroon-Peru
2-West Germany-Austria-Algeria-Chile
3-Belgium-Argentina-Hungary-El Salvador
4-England-France-Czechoslovakia-Kuwait
5-Northern Ireland-Spain-Yugoslavia-Honduras
6-Brazil-Soviet Union-Scotland-New Zealand
we all like to sit down in front of the telly to watch the opening game,however the opening game was not shown live on t.v(remember folks we only had 3 channels then)due to the Falklands conflict that was happening at the time
only story printed about the game was a 1-0 win for Belgium
only other notable result in this group was a rather close game between Hungary/El Salvador so close it finished 10-1 to Hungary
England`s first game was against the much fancied French
kick off....ball down the line..England throw in...into the box and hooked in by Bryan Robson 27 seconds apparently
France equalised midway through the first half ... but another Bryan Robson Effort and a goal by(wait for it) Paul Mariner(bet you all forgot about him)
a comfortable 2-0 over the Czechs and a hard fought thumping of Kuwait(i jest)1-0 saw England Progress
then came France/Kuwait a game that decended into a farce...France leading 3-1 made it 4-1 at this point Prince Fahid the Head honcho of the Kuwaiti F.A signalled to the side to leave the pitch due to the fact of a "Phantom Whistle" from the crowd that caused his players to stop playing
after many minutes the referee disallowed the goal.....didnt really matter France eventually won 4-1
i will leave Scotland to last
now onto Northern Ireland who were not expected to get out of the group
after a dire 0-0 with Yugoslavia and a 1-1 with Honduras.....they knew a win against the hosts Spain would not only mean an extended stay but also finish as group winners
24/6/1982---t.v on excited(as you know im irish)then the unthinkable happens........Gerry Armstrong boom 1-0
and despite finishing the game with 10 men we actually won the group(thats were it ended)
What do we say about the Scots?
after a thumping 5-2 win against New Zealand,they then got their kilts well and truly lifted and had their arse spanked by Brazil,this despite having the audacity to actually take the lead
but all was not lost a win against The Soviet Union and they would be in the second phase....could they do it?.....err no
despite Joe Jordan putting the kilt men in front Chivadze levelled Shengelia made it 2-1 and despite a late Souness goal the Scots were yet again heading home
Other Notable Moments
The swindle of Gijon
Algeria had beaten Germany 2-1-lost to Austria 2-0 then beat Chile 3-2(4 points only 2 for a win then)
Austria going into their final group had also had 4 points but had conceded fewer goals
West Germany into their final group game had 3 points
what followed was one of the worst games ever....West Germany Score,Austria knew a draw or defeat would mean they qualified for the second phase Hrubesch scores after 10 minutes and the following 80 is played without a tackle from either side......shocking
Second Phase
the second phase was a set of 4 groups comprising 3 teams
Group A-Poland-Soviet Union-Belgium
Group B-West Germany-England-Spain
Group C-Italy-Brazil-Argentina
Group D-France-Austria-Northern Ireland
Poland edged out the Soviet Union in group A
West Germany edged out England and Spain(England v Spain....Keegan almost on the line and directs his header wide told you that perm was terrible) in fact England didnt score a single goal in the second phase
Now to group C
Italy had beaten Argentina 2-1
Brazil also beat Argentina 3-1 a game that saw Madonna(sorry Maradona sent of)
this set up a game between Brazil/Italy and this turned into one of the best game in World Cup History
Paulo Rossi puts Italy ahead after only 5 minutes
back come Brazil 7 minutes later Socrates Levels
only for Rossi to put Italy back in from 13 minutes later
back the Brazilians 68 minutes Falcao 2-2
only for Rossi to complete a hat-trick on 74 mins
Group D
this belonged to the French
Beating Austria 1-0 and handing out a hiding to the Irish 4-1
Semi Finals
France - West Germany
Poland - Italy
not going to say much about Poland/Italy suffice to say Italy won 2-0
France/West Germany......were do you begin to describe this?
after a dodgy start losing 3-1 to England the French suddenly started to look like they may win the whole thing
then came this game
this has gone down in world cup folklore
went like this:
17" Littbarski gives the Germans the lead
26" Platini slots in a penalty 1-1
Battiston was then fouled.....actually assaulted by the german keep Schumacher
Battiston suffered 2 missing teeth,3 cracked ribs damaged vertebrae left the field wearing an oxygen mask
despite all this no free kick was given
The French the went 2-1 in extra time
the 3-1 game over?
not a chance
back came the germans to level it a 3-3 and force the world cups first ever penalty shoot out
Kaltz-Breitner-Littbarski-Rummenigge-Hrubesch scored for the german Stielike was the only one to miss
Giresse-Amoros-Rochetaeu-Platini Scored for the French-Six-Bossis missed for France
so the Germans won it 5-4 to set up a final with Italy
The Final
the game itself wasnt one that will live in the memory
niggly and spoilt by blatent gamesmanship by the germans
its only famous for that goal celebration my Marco Tardelli after putting Italy 2-0 up
thanks for reading(if you did)
Quiz Time anyone know what the 1982 mascot was called?
i may have missed things out but its only a bit of fun
cheers everyone

Memories from 82..
Bryan Robson well on his way to becoming the best in the land, not long after leaving Albion for Man U.
Nice England kit, awful world cup song (“This time ….we’ll get it right… um pa pa …”)
Cameroon (like England) went out without losing a game… the great Thomas N’Kono in goal making the first of his World Cup appearances.
That wonderful French side, Platini, Tigana, little Alain Giresse, Didier Six who ended up at Villa!
The best Brazilian side not to win the World Cup …Zico, Socretes, Falcao, Eder... eliminated by Paulo Rossi’s hat-trick.
Norman Whiteside, 17 going on 35, beating Pele’s record as the youngest player in World Cup history. And Gerry Armstrong scoring against the hosts, little did he know he’d end up playing for Albion in that dismal 85-86 season…
Dino Zoff keeping goal at 40
Karl Heinz Rummenigge
Harald Schumacher’s forehand smash.
Claudio Gentile, Italian hardman.

you forgot that unforgettable Scottish World Cup Song-We Have A Dream
performed by(i think)John Gordon Sinclair(not sure of the name) the guy from the film Gregory`s Girl
RE: World Cup 1982 - Bierzo Baggie - 10-06-2018
Oh yes, I'd forgotten all about that... just had to find the lyrics and yes, it's a World Cup classic!
I awoke in the night, with a fever
and the sky was the darkest blue (blue sky)
and a still, small voice was calling to me
(your country is needing you)
aye - and just like that!
and away, away in the distance
I can just make out this ball, coming in from the left
and I'm starting to run, to run like hell
and the voice is getting louder, and louder, and louder
crying "hey big yin - gaun yersel"
chorus
I have a dream (we have a dream)
If dreams come true (if dreams come true)
Then bonnie Scotland (then bonnie Scotland)
I'll play for you (we'll play for you)
now I hope, and I pray (we hope and pray)
That if, if I do (that if we do)
then Bonnie Scotland - we'll score the winning goal for you
Now the next thing I know, someones gone and tripped me
and I've fallen just inside the box (its a penalty!)
The ref - he looks to his linesman
and he's pointing straight at the spot (that's brilliant)
now, John Robertson, who normally takes them
Is handing the ball to me (you don't say)
Then i hear my old lady screaming blue murder
she saying "its no the ba' yer kicking ya eejit - its me!"
repeat chorus
bagpipe/instumemtal/chorus
Don't write 'em like that any more...
