World Cup 1986 - Day Four

Tuesday 3 June 1986

Three more games and we at last got to see two of the Home Nations in action.

At 7pm Northern Ireland were live on ITV but were unable to beat Algeria, with a 1-1 draw. Highlights were shown of the other game where Mexico beat Belgium 2-1.

And then it was a late night on the BBC with an 11pm kick off as England faced Portugal - a quite dull game, with England poor, and losing!!
