The '''1982 [[Football World Cup]]''' was held in [[Spain]] by decision of [[FIFA]] in July 1966, in the same session where FIFA gave the right to host the [[FIFA World Cup 1974|1974]] and [[FIFA World Cup 1978|1978]] tournaments to, respectively, [[West Germany]] and [[Argentina]]. It was won by [[Italy national football team|Italy]], who beat [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] 3-1 in the final. With its third World Cup title (after [[FIFA World Cup 1934|1934]] and [[FIFA World Cup 1938|1938]]), Italy drew level with record champions [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]].  This World Cup was marked by a series of great matches (most famously the epic semifinal between [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] and [[France national football team|France]]) and is widely regarded as the second-best ever after the legendary [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970]] tournament.

==Qualification== 
See [[1982 FIFA World Cup (qualification)]].

The most surprising absences from the finals were those of [[FIFA World Cup 1974|1974]] and [[FIFA World Cup 1978|1978]] runners-up [[Netherlands national football team|Holland]] (eliminated by [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] and [[France national football team|France]]), perennial power [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] (eliminated by [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]] and [[El Salvador national football team|El Salvador]]), and to a lesser extent [[FIFA World Cup 1974|1974]] and [[FIFA World Cup 1978|1978]] participant [[Sweden national football team|Sweden]] (eliminated by [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] and [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]]).

[[England national football team|England]], [[Czechoslovakia national football team|Czechoslovakia]], [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]], and the [[Soviet Union national football team|Soviet Union]] were back in the Finals after a 12-year absence.  [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]] was also back after missing the [[1978 FIFA World Cup|1978]] tournament.

[[Algeria national football team|Algeria]], [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]], [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]], [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]], and [[New Zealand national football team|New Zealand]] all participated in the World Cup for the first time.

==Summary==
[[Image:1982_Football_World_Cup_poster.jpg|thumb|250px|right|1982 World Cup poster, designed by [[Joan Miró]]]] 
===First round===
The format of the competition changed from [[FIFA World Cup 1978|1978]]: for the first time, 24 teams qualified, divided into six groups of four (A through F). The top two teams in each group advanced to the second round, where they split into four groups of three (1 to 4). 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 participate to more teams such as [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]], [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] and [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]].

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 A, first-time participant [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] held both [[Poland national football team|Poland]] and [[Italy national football team|Italy]] to draws, failing to advance only on the basis of fewer goals scored.  Poland and Italy qualified over Cameroon and [[Peru national football team|Peru]] (whose "golden generation" of the 1970s was clearly over the hill) after a series of generally uninspiring matches.

Group B saw one of the great World Cup upsets on the first day with the 2-1 victory of [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] over reigning European Champion [[Germany national football team|West Germany]]. This memorable game resulted in the controversial match between [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] and [[Austria national football team|Austria]] on the third and final day.  As [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] had already played its third match the day before, West Germany and Austria knew that a West Germany win by 1 or 2 goals would qualify them both, while a larger German victory would qualify Algeria over Austria, and an Austrian win would eliminate the Germans. (The fourth team in the group, [[Chile national football team|Chile]], was eliminated regardless of the outcome.)  After West Germany scored after 11 minutes of furious attack, the two German-speaking teams went into an unspoken agreement and just kicked the ball around aimlessly for the rest of the game to the chants of "''Fuera, fuera''" ("Out, out") from the disgusted 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 {{Wc|1978}} match in [[Cordoba, Argentina]] in which Austria had beaten West Germany, and led to the introduction of a revised system at the {{Wc|1986}} and future World Cups, in which the final two games in each group were played simultaneously.

Group C saw an upset of lesser magnitude with the 1-0 victory of 1980 European Championship runner-up [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] over defending World Champion [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]].  Both teams ultimately advanced at the expense of [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]] and [[El Salvador national football team|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, second to the 12-goal Austria-Switzerland (7-5) match in the 1954 tournament.

Group D opened at record speed with [[England national football team|England]] midfielder [[Bryan Robson]]'s goal against [[France national football team|France]] after only 27 seconds of play. England won the game 3-1 and qualified along with France over [[Czechoslovakia national football team|Czechoslovakia]] and [[Kuwait national football team|Kuwait]], though the tiny Gulf emirate created yet another sensation by holding Euro 1980 third-place finisher Czechoslovakia to a 1-1 draw.  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 which they thought had come from Soviet referee Stupar. 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 Mr Stupar countermanded his initial decision and disallowed the goal to the understandable furor of the French. Bossis scored another valid goal a few minutes later and France won 4-1. Mr Stupar lost his international refereeing credentials on this incident, while Sheikh Al-Sabah would eventually meet an untimely death during [[Iraq]]'s 1990 invasion of [[Kuwait]].

In Group E, the uprising of the minnows continued with [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]] holding host [[Spain national football team|Spain]] to a 1-1 draw (this only thanks to a questionable penalty call in Spain's favor), then became a full-fledged revolution as unfancied [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]] won the group outright, eliminating mighty [[Yugoslavia national football team|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 harshly dismissed but even this could not stop one of the greatest upsets in football history from occuring.  The home team showed that it clearly was not World Cup Winner material that year, barely scraping by thanks to yet another controversial penalty in its 2-1 victory over [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]].

All eyes were on [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] in Group F.  Around [[Zico]], [[Sócrates]], [[Paulo Roberto Falcão|Falcão]], [[Eder (footballer)|Eder]] and consorts, the rejuvenated ''auriverde'' boasted an offensive firepower that promised a return to the glory days of [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970]].  The ''tri-campeão'' lived up to all expectations, beating an unexpectedly strong [[Soviet Union national football team|Soviet]] side 2-1 in a very entertaining first match thanks to a 20 m [[Eder (footballer)|Eder]] screamer two minutes from time, then overpowering [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] and [[New Zealand national football team|New Zealand]] with four goals each.  The promising Soviets took the group's other qualifying berth at the expense of the Scots, [[Rinat Dasaev]] emerging as a worthy successor to all-time legend [[Lev Yashin]] in the Soviet goal. [[New Zealand national football team|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 round===

[[Poland national football team|Poland]] opened Group 1 with a 3-0 thrashing of [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] on a [[Zbigniew Boniek]] [[hat trick]].  The [[Soviet Union national football team|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_in_Poland|martial law]] a few months earlier to quash internal dissent and forestall a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] invasion.

In Group 2, a tense yet fair-minded opening match between [[England national football team|England]] and [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] ended in a goalless draw.  West Germany took an option on the semifinal spot in their second match by beating [[Spain national football team|Spain]] 2-1.  The home side salvaged some national pride on the last day by drawing 0-0 against England and denying qualification to [[Kevin Keegan]] and his team.

It was in Group 3, a true 'Group of Death' with [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] and [[Italy national football team|Italy]], that World Cup history was made.  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]] reminded the world of their mastery in the rougher side of the game.  Argentina now needed a win over Brazil on the second day, but there was no match as the ''Seleção'' produced a stupendous display of attacking virtuosity that completely 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 [[Sérgio Bernardino (Serginho)|Serginho]] not wasted a series of near-certain scoring opportunities.  Perhaps in frustration at his side's powerlessness, [[Diego Maradona|Maradona]] allowed himself a kick in the groin of Brazil defender [[Batista]] and was sent off a few minutes from time. The third-day match between [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] and [[Italy national football team|Italy]] would be a game to remember, an epic clash between the ''auriverde'''s attacking brilliance and the masters of ''catenaccio''.  Twice Italy went in the lead on [[Paolo Rossi]] goals, and twice Brazil came back.  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.  Both world-class strikers reflexively armed the same shot, [[Rossi]] connecting and sending Italy to the semifinals in one of the all-time great games of World Cup history.

The last group paled in comparison, the unexpected second-place finish of [[Spain national football team|Spain]] in the first round having sent them to another group and cleared a path for [[France national football team|France]].  ''Les Bleus'' dispatched [[Austria national football team|Austria]] 1-0 in their opener, then strolled 4-1 past [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]] (after the referee appeared to unfairly rule the first goal - by [[Martin O'Neil]] - out) for their first semifinal appearance since [[1958 FIFA World Cup|1958]].

===Semi-finals, third-place match, and final===

In the wake of its brilliant second-round performance, [[Italy national football team|Italy]] easily dispatched [[Poland national football team|Poland]] in the first semi-final through two goals from the inevitable [[Paolo Rossi]].  However, this good-quality match was to pale in comparison to the unforgettable confrontation between [[France national football team|France]] and [[Germany national football team|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.  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.  Moments after Battiston had headed the ball towards goal from inside the German penalty area, Germany goalkeeper [[Harald Schumacher]] hurled himself at the French player, foot forward, knocking his opponent unconscious and breaking two of his teeth.  The ball went just wide of the post and Dutch referee [[Charles Corver]] awarded a [[goal kick]], to the vociferous astonishment of the French.  Play was interrupted for several minutes while Battiston, still unconscious, was carried off the field on a stretcher.  Schumacher did not even receive a [[yellow card]] and the match went on--without retaliatory violent actions, to the credit of both teams.  After France defender [[Manuel Amoros]] had sent a thundering 25-metre drive crashing onto the Germany crossbar in the final minute, the match went into extra time.  On 92 minutes, France sweeper [[Marius Trésor]], in a rare attack, sent a splendid volley under [[Harald Schumacher|Schumacher]]'s crossbar from ten metres out to make it 2-1.  Six minutes later, an unmarked [[Alain Giresse]] drove in a beautiful 18-metre shot for 3-1.  But Germany would not give up and [[Karl-Heinz Rummenigge]], having come in minutes earlier, made it 3-2 on 102 minutes.  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 kick]]s.  One of the greatest games of all time would be decided on penalty kicks and France defender [[Maxime Bossis]], a pillar of strength on the left flank throughout the tournament, emerged as the unlucky hero as his kick was parried by [[Harald Schumacher|Schumacher]] for West Germany's 5-4 victory. Later in the year, a French newspaper held a poll to name the most hated man in France. Schumacher won, beating [[Adolf Hitler]] into second place. To this day, some of the French players on the field that night still refuse to set foot again in [[Seville]]'s [[Estadio Sánchez Pizjuán|Sánchez Pizjuán]] stadium. 

Coming after such a monumental game, the final was an anticlimactic, one-sided affair between an inspired [[Italy national football team|Italy]] and an exhausted [[Germany national football team|West Germany]] side.  The outcome was never in doubt, the ''Azzurri'' building a 3-0 lead before [[Paul Breitner]] scored [[Germany national football team|West Germany]]'s consolation goal seven minutes from time.  Coming after the [[FIFA World Cup 1934|1934]] and [[FIFA World Cup 1938|1938]] victories, Italy had now drawn level with record champions [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]].  Italy's [[Paolo Rossi]] won the [[World Cup Golden Boot|Golden Boot]] with 6 goals, and 40-year-old captain-goalkeeper [[Dino Zoff]] became the oldest-ever player to win the World Cup.

In the third-place match, [[Poland national football team|Poland]] edged [[France national football team|France]] 3-2 to repeat its performance of [[1974 FIFA World Cup|1974]].

*{{ALGf}}, {{CMRf}}, {{HONf}}, {{KUWf}}, {{NZLf}} all participated in the World Cup for the first time.
*This was the first World Cup in which teams from all 6 continental confederations participated. While teams from all confederations qualified for the [[Football World Cup 2006|2006 World Cup]], as of [[January 1]], [[2006]], {{AUSf}} became a member of the [[Asian Football Confederation]], moving from the [[Oceania Football Confederation]].
*Italy became the first team to advance from the first round without winning a game.  However, the second round was also a group stage.  In 1986, Bulgaria would qualify for the knockout stages despite not winning a game in the group stage.
*Algeria became the second African team to win a game at the World Cup.  Tunisia was first in 1978.
