World Cup 1986 | Maradona

Perhaps the greatest World Cup of all times. And a World Cup which will be remembered for a number of different spectacular highlights. Mexico 1986. These two words pretty much say it all and the memories and the references appear immediately.
The great talking point relating to the World Cup 1986 is the Maradona magic. His hand of God goal as well as other spectacular performances. Great performances in the quarters, semi-final, and final.

Argentina did not wear their usual skyblue/white home kit for the match versus England. Instead the team wore their blue away jersey which is also a fairly set affair and does not change much from tournament to tournament.

The name and number kits were limited to back number and shorts number but no front number and no name at the back of the jersey.
Brazil on the other hand had to go back home yet again after early exit. The Brazilians had once again assembled a fine team full of excellent footballers but they could not overcome France. Another huge disappointment to the football crazy country and in particular since arch-rivals Argentina would end up winning the whole thing getting very close to Brazil when counting number of World Cups won.
