What makes a World Cup great? Beautiful football, iconic stars, unforgettable matches and moments of drama. The 1982 World Cup had all that, but almost all of it was tied to a single team. Brazil. Featuring players of tremendous ability, Brazil played spectacular football, scored goals of incredible beauty and produced moments of intense emotion.
Zico, Socrates, Falcao, Junior, Eder – they were the heart and soul of the 1982 World Cup.
But there were more stories running in the background. Cameroon’s debut on the world stage. A controversial clash between Germany and France. And above all, the first World Cup appearance of a young player whose rising reputation had the world stirring in anticipation: Diego Armando Maradona.
