The 1982 FIFA World Cup, the 12th staging of the World Cup, was held in Spain from June 13 to July 11. Spain was chosen as hosts by FIFA in July 1966. This World Cup was won by Italy, who beat West Germany 3-1 in the final. With its third World Cup title (after 1934 and 1938), Italy drew level with Brazil as the most successful nations at the World Cup. This World Cup was marked by a series of great matches and is widely regarded as the second-best ever after the legendary 1970 tournament. This was also the first World Cup to feature 24 teams, an expansion from at most 16 in the previous tournaments.

[edit] Qualification

Main article: 1982 FIFA World Cup qualification

The most surprising absences from the finals were those of 1974 and 1978 runners-up Netherlands (eliminated by Belgium and France), North America's power Mexico (eliminated by El Salvador), and to a lesser extent 1974 and 1978 participant Sweden (eliminated by Scotland and Northern Ireland). England, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, and the Soviet Union were back in the Finals after a 12-year absence. Yugoslavia was also back after missing the 1978 tournament. Algeria, Cameroon, Honduras, Kuwait, and New Zealand all participated in the World Cup for the first time.

[edit] Summary

[edit] First round

The format of the competition changed from 1978: for the first time, 24 teams qualified, divided into six groups of four (1 through 6). The top two teams in each group advanced to the second round, where they split into four groups of three (A to D). The winners of each group advanced to the semi-finals. This was the only World Cup to be played under this format. The decision to expand from 16 to 24 teams came from FIFA to give the opportunity to more teams to participate, especially teams from North America, Africa and Asia.

The first round was marked by a series of surprisingly strong showings by these supposedly weaker teams, although the more established football powers generally prevailed in advancing to the next stage. In Group 1, first-time participant Cameroon held both Poland and Italy to draws, and only failing to advance only on the basis of fewer goals scored than Italy. However, there was some controversy in the group. In the Peru-Cameroon game, Cameroonian striker Roger Milla had a goal disallowed for offside, but TV replays showed that Milla was clearly onside when he scored the goal. The decision contributed to Cameroon's early exit, as Italy would have been eliminated at that stage, had Milla's goal stood. As a result, Poland and Italy qualified over Cameroon and Peru.

Group 2 saw one of the great World Cup upsets on the first day with the 2-1 victory of Algeria over reigning European Champion West Germany. This memorable game resulted in the controversial match between West Germany and Austria, their third and final match. As Algeria had already played its third match the day before, West Germany and Austria knew that a West German win by 1 or 2 goals would qualify them both, while a larger German victory would qualify Algeria over Austria, and a draw or an Austrian win would eliminate the Germans. The fourth team in the group, Chile, was eliminated regardless of the outcome. After 10 minutes of furious attack, West Germany succeeded in scoring through a goal by Horst Hrubesch. After the goal was scored, the two German-speaking teams went into an unspoken agreement and just kicked the ball around aimlessly for the rest of the match. Chants of "Fuera, fuera" ("Out, out") were screamed by the appalled Spanish crowd, while angry Algerian supporters waved banknotes at the players. This sham performance was widely deplored, even by the German and Austrian fans who had hoped for a hot rematch of the 1978 FIFA World Cup match in which Austria had beaten West Germany. One German fan was so upset by his team's display that he burnt his German flag in disgust.[1] As a result of the outcome, FIFA introduced a revised qualification system at subsequent World Cups in which the final two games in each group were played simultaneously.

Group 3 saw an upset of lesser magnitude with the 1-0 victory of Belgium over defending World Champion Argentina. Both teams ultimately advanced at the expense of Hungary and El Salvador despite Hungary's 10-1 win over the Central American nation — which, with a total of 11 goals, is the second highest scoreline in a World Cup game (as well as Brazil's 6-5 victory over Poland in the 1938 tournament and Hungary's 8-3 victory over West Germany in the 1954 tournament), second to the 12-goal Austria-Switzerland (7-5) match in the 1954 tournament.

Group 4 opened at record speed with England midfielder Bryan Robson's goal against France after only 27 seconds of play. England won the game 3-1 and qualified along with France over Czechoslovakia and Kuwait, though the tiny Gulf emirate created yet another sensation by holding Czechoslovakia to a 1-1 draw. This group was also the stage of a farcical incident during the game between Kuwait and France. As Les Bleus were leading 3-1, France midfielder Alain Giresse scored a goal vehemently contested by the Kuwait team, who had stopped play after hearing a piercing whistle from the stands, as the French player was in a suspicious, arguably offside position, which they thought had come from Soviet referee Stupar. Play had not yet resumed when Sheikh Fahid Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, brother of the Kuwaiti Emir and president of the Kuwaiti Football Association, rushed onto the pitch to give the referee a vociferous piece of his mind. The visibly shaken Stupar countermanded his initial decision and disallowed the goal to the understandable fury of the French. Maxime Bossis scored another valid goal a few minutes later and France won 4-1. Stupar lost his international refereeing credentials due to this incident, and al-Sabah received a $10,000 fine by FIFA for the same reason.

In Group 5, the uprising of the minnows continued with Honduras holding hosts Spain to a 1-1 draw, then became a full-fledged revolution as unfancied Northern Ireland won the group outright, eliminating Yugoslavia and beating Spain 1-0 on its home ground in the process, the result was even more impressive as Northern Ireland had to play the majority of the second half with ten men after Mal Donaghy was dismissed. The home team showed that they were not serious contenders this year, barely scraping by thanks to yet another controversial penalty in its 2-1 victory over Yugoslavia.

All eyes were on Brazil in Group 6. Around Zico, Sócrates, Falcão, Éder and fellows, the rejuvenated auriverde boasted an offensive firepower that promised a return to the glory days of 1970. The tri-campeão lived up to all expectations, beating an unexpectedly strong Soviet side 2-1 in a very entertaining first match thanks to a 20 metre Éder goal two minutes from time, then Scotland and New Zealand with four goals each. The promising Soviets took the group's other qualifying berth at the expense of the Scots, Rinat Dasayev emerging as a worthy successor to all-time legend Lev Yashin in the Soviet goal with a rarely talked about save from Joe Jordan's header. The ball was virtually on the line when Dasayev flicked it around the post with his finger at the last possible moment, much to the disbelief of the Scots and watching spectators. New Zealand earned international respect in its World Cup opener against Scotland, cutting the Scots' 3-0 lead to 3-2 before conceding two more goals late in the game.

[edit] Second Group Round

Poland opened Group A with a 3-0 thrashing of Belgium on a Zbigniew Boniek hat-trick. The Soviet Union prevailed 1-0 in the next match over a Belgian side which clearly had peaked too early in the tournament. The Poles edged out the USSR for the semifinal spot on the final day on goal difference thanks to a 0-0 draw in a politically charged match, as Poland's then-Communist government had imposed a martial law a few months earlier to quash internal dissent and forestall a Soviet invasion.

In Group B, a tense yet fair-minded opening match between England and West Germany ended in a goalless draw. West Germany took an option on the semifinal spot in their second match by beating Spain 2-1. The home side salvaged some national pride on the last day by drawing 0-0 against England, denying Ron Greenwood's team a semi-final place.

It was in Group C, a true Group of Death with Brazil, Argentina and Italy, that World Cup history was made. In the opener, the Azzurri prevailed 2-1 over Diego Maradona's side after an ill-tempered, obscure battle in which Italy defenders Gaetano Scirea and Claudio Gentile proved to be able to stop the Argentinian attack. Argentina now needed a win over Brazil on the second day, but they were no match as the Seleção attacking game eclipsed the reigning World Champions. The final score of 3-1 — Argentina only scoring in the last minute — could have been much higher had Brazil center-forward Serginho not wasted a series of near-certain scoring opportunities. Perhaps in frustration at his side's powerlessness, Maradona allowed himself a kick in the groin of Brazil defender Batista and was sent off a few minutes from time. The third-day match between Brazil and Italy would be a game to remember. Twice Italy went in the lead on Paolo Rossi goals, and twice Brazil came back. At 2-2, Brazil would have been through on goal difference, but on 74 minutes, a poor clearance on an Italy corner kick went back to the Brazil six-yard line where Rossi and Francesco Graziani were waiting. Both world-class strikers reflexively aimed at the same shot, Rossi connecting and sending Italy to the semifinals in one of the all-time great games of World Cup history. To this day, Brazilian football aficionados consider this game a great upset, given the fact that Brazil had been making a spectacular campaign while Italy was playing just to progress, with average-to-good performances, as well as the fact that Rossi, who would go on to win the Golden Boot, had not scored a single goal in the tournament before this match.

The last group, Group D, paled in comparison, the unexpected second-place finish of Spain in the first round having sent them to another group and cleared a path for the French. Les Bleus dispatched Austria 1-0 in their opener, then strolled 4-1 past Northern Ireland for their first semifinal appearance since 1958.

[edit] Semi-finals, third-place match, and final

In the wake of its brilliant second-round performance, Italy easily dispatched Poland in the first semi-final through two goals from Paolo Rossi. However, this impressive performance by the Italians was to pale in comparison to the unforgettable confrontation between France and West Germany. After the Germans opened the scoring through an inspired Pierre Littbarski strike on 17 minutes, the French held on, equalizing nine minutes later with a Michel Platini penalty. The closely fought match continued until the middle of the second half when a long through ball sent French defender Patrick Battiston racing clear towards the German goal. Seconds after Battiston had flicked the ball towards goal from the edge of the German penalty area, West Germany goalkeeper Harald Schumacher hurled himself at the French player, foot forward, knocking his opponent unconscious and breaking two of his teeth. The ball went just wide of the post and, to the vociferous astonishment of the French, Dutch referee Charles Corver deemed Schumacher's assault on Battiston to be not a foul and awarded a goal kick. Play was interrupted for several minutes while Battiston, still unconscious, was carried off the field on a stretcher. The match went on without retaliatory violent actions, to the credit of both teams. After French defender Manuel Amoros had sent a thundering 25-metre drive crashing onto the West German crossbar in the final minute, the match went into extra time. On 92 minutes, France's sweeper Marius Trésor, in a rare attack, fired a splendid swivelling volley under Schumacher's crossbar from ten metres out to make it 2-1. Six minutes later, an unmarked Alain Giresse drove in a beautiful 18-metre shot off the inside of the right post to finish off a counterattack and put France up 3-1. But West Germany would not give up and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, having come in minutes earlier, made it 3-2 on 102 minutes. Finally, in the 108th minute, an error by the French defence left Klaus Fischer unmarked on the six-yard line to equalize with one of his trademark bicycle kicks. One of the greatest semi-finals of all time would be decided on penalty kicks, the first ever in World Cup history. With the shootout in sudden death, France defender Maxime Bossis, a pillar of strength on the left flank throughout the tournament, had his kick parried by Schumacher and West Germany won the shootout 5-4. In the third-place match, Poland edged France 3-2 to match its performance of 1974.

Coming after such a monumental game, the final was an anticlimactic, one-sided affair between an inspired Italy and a tired West German side. After a scoreless first half during which Antonio Cabrini fired a penalty wide of goal, Paolo Rossi again scored first by heading home a bouncing Claudio Gentile cross from close range. Once behind, the Germans threw more men forward at the expense of defence, which left large gaps at the back for Italy to counterattack. This led to the Azzurri scoring twice more, through Marco Tardelli's splendid shot from the edge of the area (and his legendary shouting and arm-pumping celebration), and Alessandro Altobelli at the end of a trademark counterattack led by nimble winger Bruno Conti. Italy's 3-0 lead appeared secure, encouraging Italian president Sandro Pertini to wag his finger at the cameras in a playful 'not going to catch us now' gesture. Paul Breitner scored West Germany's consolation goal seven minutes from time to wrap up the scoring.

Coming after the 1934 and 1938 victories, Italy had now drawn level with record champions Brazil. Italy's Paolo Rossi won both the Golden Boot as the tournament's top goalscorer, and the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player (handed out for the very first time), and 40-year-old captain-goalkeeper Dino Zoff became the oldest-ever player to win the World Cup.

[edit] Mascot

The official mascot of this World Cup was Naranjito, an orange, a typical fruit in Spain, wearing the kit of the host's national team. Its name comes from naranja, Spanish for orange, and the diminutive suffix "-ito".

[edit] Trivia

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.

• Italy beat the three previous winners: Argentina, West Germany and Brazil, on their way to winning the world cup.
• England were eliminated without being defeated (in 5 games).
• At just 17 years and 41 days, Northern Ireland forward Norman Whiteside was the youngest player to appear in a World Cup match.
• This tournament saw the most appearances by third-choice goalkeepers in World Cup history. Czechoslovakia and Belgium used all three goalkeepers from their squads due to injury, suspension, or poor performance. Also, Jean-Luc Ettori of France and Frank van Hattum of New Zealand had originally been selected as second alternates but were designated starters thanks to strong performance in training.

[edit] Firsts

• This was the first World Cup in which teams from all 6 continental confederations participated. While teams from all confederations qualified for the 2006 World Cup, as of January 1, 2006, Australia became a member of the Asian Football Confederation, moving from the Oceania Football Confederation.
• Italy became the first team to advance from the first round without winning a game, drawing all three (even though Cameroon was eliminated in the very same way). However, the second round was also a group stage, and they subsequently went on to win the tournament. In 1986, Bulgaria and Uruguay would qualify for the knockout stages as one of the four best third-place teams, after two draws and a loss in the first round (as the second round allowed 16 teams instead of 12 in 1982). In 1990, both the Republic of Ireland and Netherlands advanced after drawing all three games. Ireland subsequently defeated Romania by penalty kicks to reach the quarter-finals, the first to do so without winning a single game in regulation. Chile would also advance to the second round in 1998 after drawing all three games in the first round, when the tournament featured 32 teams, (although, in another group, Belgium were eliminated with three draws).
• Algeria became the first African team to defeat a European team at the World Cup (2-1 against West Germany in the first round).
• László Kiss of Hungary was the first substitute ever to score a hat-trick in a World Cup match.
• Antonio Cabrini of Italy was the first player to miss a penalty in a World Cup final match.
• The semifinal match between West Germany and France was the first ever in a World Cup to be decided in a penalty shootout. After a 3-3 draw in 120 minutes, The Germans beat the French 5-4 and advanced to the final match against Italy.

[edit] Lasts

• For the last time the games of the 3rd leg in the group stage were played in different times. The way in which the match between Austria and West Germany was played is thought to have influenced the decision.
