Summary
First round
The format of the competition changed from 1978: for the first time, 24 teams qualified, divided into six groups of four (1 through 6). The 1978 FIFA World Cup, the 11th staging of the World Cup was held in Argentina between June 1 and June 25. The top two teams in each group advanced to the second round, where they split into four groups of three (A to D). The winners of each group advanced to the semi-finals. This was the only World Cup to be played under this format. The decision to expand from 16 to 24 teams came from FIFA to give the opportunity to more teams to participate, especially teams from North America, Africa and Asia.
The first round was marked by a series of surprisingly strong showings by these supposedly weaker teams, although the more established football powers generally prevailed in advancing to the next stage. In Group 1, first-time participant Cameroon held both Poland and Italy to draws, and only failing to advance only on the basis of fewer goals scored than Italy. The Cameroon national football team, nicknamed Lions Indomptables (Indomitable Lions, is controlled by the Fédération Camerounaise de Football and is Africa's The Poland national football team (Reprezentacja Polski w piłce nożnej is the national football team of Poland, under the auspices of the Polish The Italian national football team is controlled by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC and represents Italy in international football competition However, there was some controversy in the group. In the Peru-Cameroon game, Cameroonian striker Roger Milla had a goal disallowed for offside, but TV replays showed that Milla was clearly onside when he scored the goal. Roger Milla (born Albert Roger Mooh Miller, May 20, 1952) is a Cameroonian former football forward. The decision contributed to Cameroon's early exit, as Italy would have been eliminated at that stage, had Milla's goal stood. As a result, Poland and Italy qualified over Cameroon and Peru. The Peru national football team is controlled by the Federación Peruana de Fútbol (FPF and represents Peru in international football competitions
Group 2 saw one of the great World Cup upsets on the first day with the 2-1 victory of Algeria over reigning European Champion West Germany. The Algeria national football team, nicknamed Les Fennecs (The Desert Foxes, is the national team of Algeria and is controlled by the Fédération Algérienne The German national football team (Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft From 1950 to 1990 the team was also informally called West Germany in English as since This memorable game resulted in the controversial match between West Germany and Austria, their third and final match. The Austria national football team is the association football team that represents the Country of Austria in international competition and is controlled As Algeria had already played its third match the day before, West Germany and Austria knew that a West German win by 1 or 2 goals would qualify them both, while a larger German victory would qualify Algeria over Austria, and a draw or an Austrian win would eliminate the Germans. The fourth team in the group, Chile, was eliminated regardless of the outcome. The Chilean national football team represents Chile in all major international football competitions After 10 minutes of furious attack, West Germany succeeded in scoring through a goal by Horst Hrubesch. Horst Hrubesch (born April 17, 1951 in Hamm) is a retired German Football player and currently employed as a youth trainer at the After the goal was scored, the two German-speaking teams went into an unspoken agreement and just kicked the ball around aimlessly for the rest of the match. Chants of "Fuera, fuera" ("Out, out") were screamed by the appalled Spanish crowd, while angry Algerian supporters waved banknotes at the players. This sham performance was widely deplored, even by the German and Austrian fans who had hoped for a hot rematch of the 1978 FIFA World Cup match in which Austria had beaten West Germany. One German fan was so upset by his team's display that he burnt his German flag in disgust. [1] As a result of the outcome, FIFA introduced a revised qualification system at subsequent World Cups in which the final two games in each group were played simultaneously.
Group 3 saw an upset of lesser magnitude with the 1-0 victory of Belgium over defending World Champion Argentina. The Belgium national football team is the national football team of Belgium and is controlled by the Belgian Football Association. The Argentina national football team is the national football team of Argentina and is controlled by the Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA Both teams ultimately advanced at the expense of Hungary and El Salvador despite Hungary's 10-1 win over the Central American nation — which, with a total of 11 goals, is the second highest scoreline in a World Cup game (as well as Brazil's 6-5 victory over Poland in the 1938 tournament and Hungary's 8-3 victory over West Germany in the 1954 tournament), second to the 12-goal Austria-Switzerland (7-5) match in the 1954 tournament. The Hungary national football team represents Hungary in international football and is controlled by the Hungarian Football Federation. The El Salvador national football team is the national team of El Salvador and is controlled by the Federación Salvadoreña de Fútbol.
Group 4 opened at record speed with England midfielder Bryan Robson's goal against France after only 27 seconds of play. The English national football team represents England in international football and is controlled by The Football Association, the governing body for football Bryan Robson OBE (born 11 January 1957 is an English former football manager and a former player The French national football team represents the nation of France in international football. England won the game 3-1 and qualified along with France over Czechoslovakia and Kuwait, though the tiny Gulf emirate created yet another sensation by holding Czechoslovakia to a 1-1 draw. The Czechoslovakia national football team was the national football team of Czechoslovakia, before the country was split into the Czech Republic The Kuwait National Football Team is the national team of Kuwait and is controlled by the Kuwait Football Association. This group was also the stage of a farcical incident during the game between Kuwait and France. As Les Bleus were leading 3-1, France midfielder Alain Giresse scored a goal vehemently contested by the Kuwait team, who had stopped play after hearing a piercing whistle from the stands, as the French player was in a suspicious, arguably offside position, which they thought had come from Soviet referee Stupar. Alain Giresse (born 2 August 1952 in Langoiran, Gironde) was a French professional Football (soccer Midfielder Play had not yet resumed when Sheikh Fahid Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, brother of the Kuwaiti Emir and president of the Kuwaiti Football Association, rushed onto the pitch to give the referee a vociferous piece of his mind. The visibly shaken Stupar countermanded his initial decision and disallowed the goal to the understandable fury of the French. Maxime Bossis scored another valid goal a few minutes later and France won 4-1. Maxime Bossis (born June 26, 1955 in Saint-André, Vendée) is a retired football defender from France, Stupar lost his international refereeing credentials due to this incident, and al-Sabah received a $10,000 fine by FIFA for the same reason.
In Group 5, the uprising of the minnows continued with Honduras holding hosts Spain to a 1-1 draw, then became a full-fledged revolution as unfancied Northern Ireland won the group outright, eliminating Yugoslavia and beating Spain 1-0 on its home ground in the process, the result was even more impressive as Northern Ireland had to play the majority of the second half with ten men after Mal Donaghy was dismissed.

The tri-campeão lived up to all expectations, beating an unexpectedly strong Soviet side 2-1 in a very entertaining first match thanks to a 20 metre Éder goal two minutes from time, then Scotland and New Zealand with four goals each. The USSR national football team was the national football team of the Soviet Union. The Scotland national football team represents Scotland in international football and is controlled by the Scottish Football Association. The New Zealand national football team, nicknamed the All Whites, is the national team of New Zealand and is controlled by New Zealand Football The promising Soviets took the group's other qualifying berth at the expense of the Scots, Rinat Dasayev emerging as a worthy successor to all-time legend Lev Yashin in the Soviet goal with a rarely talked about save from Joe Jordan's header. Rinat Fayzrakhmanovich Dasayev (Ринат Файзрахманович Дасаев (born June 13, 1957 in Astrakhan, Soviet Union Lev Ivanovich Yashin (Лев Ива́нович Я́шин (22 October 1929 – 20 March 1990 was a Russian Soviet football goalkeeper, considered by many to be Joseph "Joe" Jordan (born 15 December, 1951 in Carluke, Scotland) was a centre-forward in the Leeds United The ball was virtually on the line when Dasayev flicked it around the post with his finger at the last possible moment, much to the disbelief of the Scots and watching spectators. New Zealand earned international respect in its World Cup opener against Scotland, cutting the Scots' 3-0 lead to 3-2 before conceding two more goals late in the game.
Second Group Round
Poland opened Group A with a 3-0 thrashing of Belgium on a Zbigniew Boniek hat-trick. Zbigniew Boniek ('zbigɲɛf 'bɔɲɛk (born 3 March 1956 in Bydgoszcz) is a former Polish footballer and coach A hat-trick in Sports is associated with succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts The Soviet Union prevailed 1-0 in the next match over a Belgian side which clearly had peaked too early in the tournament. The Poles edged out the USSR for the semifinal spot on the final day on goal difference thanks to a 0-0 draw in a politically charged match, as Poland's then-Communist government had imposed a martial law a few months earlier to quash internal dissent and forestall a Soviet invasion. Martial law in Poland (Stan wojenny w Polsce refers to the period of time from December 13, 1981 to July 22, 1983
In Group B, a tense yet fair-minded opening match between England and West Germany ended in a goalless draw. West Germany took an option on the semifinal spot in their second match by beating Spain 2-1. The home side salvaged some national pride on the last day by drawing 0-0 against England, denying Ron Greenwood's team a semi-final place. Ronald 'Ron' Greenwood CBE ( 11 November 1921 — 9 February 2006) was an English football player and manager
It was in Group C, a true Group of Death with Brazil, Argentina and Italy, that World Cup history was made. Group of death is an informal Sobriquet used in football and other team sports to describe a situation that often occurs during the group stage of a In the opener, the Azzurri prevailed 2-1 over Diego Maradona's side after an ill-tempered, obscure battle in which Italy defenders Gaetano Scirea and Claudio Gentile proved to be able to stop the Argentinian attack. Gaetano Scirea (25 May 1953 &ndash 3 September 1989 was an Italian football player who is considered one of the greatest defenders of all-time Claudio Gentile (born 27 September 1953 is an Italian football coach and former player of the 1970s and 1980s Argentina now needed a win over Brazil on the second day, but they were no match as the Seleção attacking game eclipsed the reigning World Champions. The final score of 3-1 — Argentina only scoring in the last minute — could have been much higher had Brazil center-forward Serginho not wasted a series of near-certain scoring opportunities. Sérgio Bernardino, also known as Serginho or Serginho Chulapa (born in São Paulo December 23, 1953) was a Brazilian Perhaps in frustration at his side's powerlessness, Maradona allowed himself a kick in the groin of Brazil defender Batista and was sent off a few minutes from time. João Batista da Silva, best known as Batista (born in Porto Alegre, March 8, 1955) is a former Brazilian Football The third-day match between Brazil and Italy would be a game to remember. Twice Italy went in the lead on Paolo Rossi goals, and twice Brazil came back. Paolo Rossi (born September 23, 1956) is an Italian former Football (soccer player At 2-2, Brazil would have been through on goal difference, but on 74 minutes, a poor clearance on an Italy corner kick went back to the Brazil six-yard line where Rossi and Francesco Graziani were waiting. Francesco "Ciccio" Graziani (born December 16, 1952) is an Italy football manager and former player Both world-class strikers reflexively aimed at the same shot, Rossi connecting and sending Italy to the semifinals in one of the all-time great games of World Cup history. To this day, Brazilian football aficionados consider this game a great upset, given the fact that Brazil had been making a spectacular campaign while Italy was playing just to progress, with average-to-good performances, as well as the fact that Rossi, who would go on to win the Golden Boot, had not scored a single goal in the tournament before this match.
The last group, Group D, paled in comparison, the unexpected second-place finish of Spain in the first round having sent them to another group and cleared a path for the French. Les Bleus dispatched Austria 1-0 in their opener, then strolled 4-1 past Northern Ireland for their first semifinal appearance since 1958. The 1958 FIFA World Cup, the sixth staging of the World Cup was hosted by Sweden from June 8 to June 29.
Semi-finals, third-place match, and final
In the wake of its brilliant second-round performance, Italy easily dispatched Poland in the first semi-final through two goals from Paolo Rossi. However, this impressive performance by the Italians was to pale in comparison to the unforgettable confrontation between France and West Germany. After the Germans opened the scoring through an inspired Pierre Littbarski strike on 17 minutes, the French held on, equalizing nine minutes later with a Michel Platini penalty. Pierre Littbarski (born April 16, 1960) is a German football manager and former player and was a FIFA World Cup winner with Michel François Platini (born June 21, 1955) is a French former football player manager and current president of the UEFA. The closely fought match continued until the middle of the second half when a long through ball sent French defender Patrick Battiston racing clear towards the German goal. Patrick Battiston (born March 12, 1957 in Amnéville, Moselle) is a former French football player who played for the Seconds after Battiston had flicked the ball towards goal from the edge of the German penalty area, West Germany goalkeeper Harald Schumacher hurled himself at the French player, foot forward, knocking his opponent unconscious and breaking two of his teeth. Harald Anton Schumacher (born March 6, 1954 in Düren, West Germany) commonly known as Toni Schumacher, was a football The ball went just wide of the post and, to the vociferous astonishment of the French, Dutch referee Charles Corver deemed Schumacher's assault on Battiston to be not a foul and awarded a goal kick. Charles George Reinier Corver (born January 16, 1936, Leiden) is a former Dutch football Referee. A goal kick is a method of restarting play in a game of association football (soccer. Play was interrupted for several minutes while Battiston, still unconscious, was carried off the field on a stretcher. The match went on without retaliatory violent actions, to the credit of both teams. After French defender Manuel Amoros had sent a thundering 25-metre drive crashing onto the West German crossbar in the final minute, the match went into extra time. Manuel Amoros (born February 1, 1962 in Nîmes) is a retired football defender from France. On 92 minutes, France's sweeper Marius Trésor, in a rare attack, fired a splendid swivelling volley under Schumacher's crossbar from ten metres out to make it 2-1. Marius Trésor (born January 15, 1950 in Sainte-Anne, Guadeloupe) is a retired football defender from France Six minutes later, an unmarked Alain Giresse drove in a beautiful 18-metre shot off the inside of the right post to finish off a counterattack and put France up 3-1. Alain Giresse (born 2 August 1952 in Langoiran, Gironde) was a French professional Football (soccer Midfielder But West Germany would not give up and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, having come in minutes earlier, made it 3-2 on 102 minutes. Karl-Heinz "Kalle" Rummenigge (born September 25, 1955 in Lippstadt) is a German former football player Finally, in the 108th minute, an error by the French defence left Klaus Fischer unmarked on the six-yard line to equalize with one of his trademark bicycle kicks.

In the third-place match, Poland edged France 3-2 to match its performance of 1974.
Coming after such a monumental game, the final was an anticlimactic, one-sided affair between an inspired Italy and a tired West German side. After a scoreless first half during which Antonio Cabrini fired a penalty wide of goal, Paolo Rossi again scored first by heading home a bouncing Claudio Gentile cross from close range. Antonio Cabrini (born October 8, 1957) is a Football (soccer coach and former successful player from Italy. The term Gentile (from Latin, gentilis, meaning of or belonging to a clan or tribe refers to non- Israelite tribes or nations in the Bible. Once behind, the Germans threw more men forward at the expense of defence, which left large gaps at the back for Italy to counterattack. This led to the Azzurri scoring twice more, through Marco Tardelli's splendid shot from the edge of the area (and his legendary shouting and arm-pumping celebration), and Alessandro Altobelli at the end of a trademark counterattack led by nimble winger Bruno Conti. Marco Tardelli (born September 24, 1954) is a former football player from Italy, and is the current Alessandro Altobelli (born November 28, 1955 in Sonnino, Latina) is an Italian former football player Bruno Conti (born March 13, 1955 in Nettuno, Province of Rome) is an Italian ex- football player and former coach of the Italy's 3-0 lead appeared secure, encouraging Italian president Sandro Pertini to wag his finger at the cameras in a playful 'not going to catch us now' gesture.

The 1934 FIFA World Cup was the second World Cup staged and was hosted in Italy from 27 May to 10 June The 1938 FIFA World Cup was the third staging of the World Cup and was held in France from June 4 to June 19. Italy's Paolo Rossi won both the Golden Boot as the tournament's top goalscorer, and the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player (handed out for the very first time), and 40-year-old captain-goalkeeper Dino Zoff became the oldest-ever player to win the World Cup.
