Argentina 1986 World Cup Away shirt.100% polyester. Argentina v England, played on 22 June 1986, was a football match
between Argentina and England in the quarter-finals of the 1986 FIFA
World Cup at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The game was held four
years after the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom
and was a key part in developing the intense football rivalry between
the two nations. It was also a match which included two of the most
famous goals in football history, both scored by Diego Maradona. His
first, after fifty-one minutes, was the Hand of God goal, in which
Maradona scored with an illegal, but unpenalised, handball. His second,
after fifty-four minutes, saw him dribble past six England players,
Beardsley, Reid, Butcher, Fenwick, Butcher (again), and finally
goalkeeper Peter Shilton. In 2002 this was voted Goal of the Century by
FIFA.com voters. Argentina won the game 2-1 and went on to win the 1986
World Cup with a victory over West Germany in the final. Maradona won
the golden ball for player of the tournament whilst England's goalscorer
on the day, Gary Lineker, won the golden shoe for being the
tournament's top scorer.
