World Cup 1986 - Day Twenty Three

Sunday 22 June 1986

Quarter Final
Argentina 2 England 1
Maradona 51, 55; Lineker 81


Quarter Final
Belgium 1 Spain 1
Ceulemans 35, Senor 85
Belgium win 5-4 on penalties

England expects! A nation crowded in front of their respective televisions at 7pm as ITV displayed one of the most famous (or infamous) England games of all time. Maradona showed us his worst and his best and sent England home. Gary Lineker got his sixth to go top of the Golden Boot charts.

Many people might have gone to bed disappointed and not stayed up for the 11pm kick off on the BBC - Belgium becoming the third semi-finalist to go through on penalties, and Butragueno's golden boot dream was gone.
