As the sinister grey clouds of Buenos Aires dispersed, the Spanish sun broke through to light up a fiesta of football at the twelfth FIFA World Cup. España 82 tells the full story of the tournament, from controversy to brilliance, from heartbreak to Marco Tardelli - football has never looked more magnificent than in the 1982 World Cup.
España 82 tells the captivating story of the 1982 World Cup. Following the controversial military-led 1978 World Cup in Argentina, Spain opened its doors to the world and an expanded tournament. Twenty-four teams played 52 games in what would prove to be a fiesta of football. The rain clouds of Buenos Aires were replaced by warm, sultry evenings, and underneath the floodlights the Spanish summer produced a hazy heat that radiated through the TV screen. The greatest players in the world - Zico, Maradona, Platini and Boniek - were all there alongside a host of newcomer nations, including Cameroon and New Zealand. Incident upon incident filled the TV screens accompanied by crackly commentary. Schumacher's assault on Battiston, Hungry 10-1 El Salvador, West Germany's conspiratorial 1-0 win over Austria, Kuwait walking off the pitch against France, that Italian victory over Brazil and Marco Tardelli's iconic schoolboy-inspiring goal celebration. This impressionable ten-year-old boy returns to relive his own greatest World Cup tournament.
