World Cup 1986 - Day Eleven

Tuesday 10 June 1986

This time it was Emmerdale Farm which ITV could not move and so again with both matches kicking off at 7pm, British viewers only got a live second half. The consolation was that it was a cracker with South Korea giving Italy a fright. Altobelli's double equalling the lead for the Golden Boot.

Italy and Argentina confidently booking their places in the second round. Bulgaria having to wait to see if they got one of the four best third places - but they were ahead of Canada from last night.

Italy 3 South Korea 2

GAME OF THE DAY - ITALY V SOUTH KOREA

 

World Cup 1986 - Day Ten

Monday 9 June 1986

The final games of each group were to be played at the same time (as they still are to this day), which was a legacy of the 1982 West Germany v Austria match where both sides engineered a result to see them through.

But, with both games kicking off at 7pm, only the second half of one game - France v Hungary - was on offer. ITV in those days were very reluctant to move Coronation Street.

France and the Soviet Union secured their last 16 place with convincing wins. Hungary probably had not done enough. At least Canada did not have too far to fly home.

Group C:
France 3 Hungary 0
Stopyra 29, Tigana 62, Rocheteau 84

Group C:
Soviet Union 2 Canada 0
Blokhin 58, Zavarov 74

Group C:
Soviet Union P3 W2 D1 L0 F9 A1 Pts 5 - +8
France P3 W2 D1 L0 F5 A1 Pts 5 - +4
Hungary P3 W1 D0 L2 F2 A9 Pts 2 - -7
Canada P3 W0 D0 L3 F0 A5 Pts 0 - -5

GAME OF THE DAY - FRANCE V HUNGARY

World Cup 1986 - Day Nine

Sunday 8 June 1986

A Sunday feast as the two TV games matched the occasion. On BBC at 7pm, the live game saw Scotland cross swords with West Germany and go down in a tight game. Qualification chances were now very slim. Highlights were shown of Belgium defeating Iraq.

ITV had the late night game kicking off at 11pm where Denmark absolutely demolished Uruguay and seal their place in the next round. The tournament's first hat trick saw Elkjaer leap into the lead for the Golden Boot.

 GAME OF THE DAY - DENMARK V URUGUAY

 

World Cup 1986 - Day Eight

Saturday 7 June 1986

ITV had the Northern Ireland game live at 7pm with the Mexico-Paraguay game highlighted. Spain gained revenge for the home defeat in 1982 and Northern Ireland now had to get something out of Brazil. Meanwhile the host nation limbered on to a disappointing draw.
