THREE KISSES AT LEAST

June 15th 1982, the World Cup Finals were held in Spain and Hungary beat El Salvador 10-1 in a group game, the first double figure win-defeat in a World Cup Finals. Laszlo Kiss became the first substitute to score a hat trick in the finals. El Salvador only conceded three more goals in their group against Argentina 2-0 and Belgium 1-0.

England had beaten France 3-1, Czechoslovakia 2-0 and Kuwait 1-0 in their group matches.
Team: Shilton, Mills, Sansom, Thompson, Butcher, Wilkins, Robson, Francis, Mariner, Woodcock, Rix with Keegan and Brooking as used subs.
Squad players included Hoddle, Coppell, Foster, Neal.

It all looked good with Trevor Francis, Peter Mariner and Bryan Robson scoring our goals.
In the second set of matches of four groups of 3, (not straight to last 16) we drew with West Germany 0-0 and Spain 0-0 which left us out of the competition, only the group winner went on to the semi-final.

Northern Ireland had a field day drawing with Honduras (1-1) and Yugoslavia (0-0) and then winning their group by beating Spain 1-0 in a memorable match. Having drawn with Austria 2-2, they couldn't beat France in the group of 3, who went on to the semi.

In the semis Poland lost to Italy, West Germany beat France after 3-3 on pens and Poland came third in the play-off.

More fortunate were Italy who went on to beat West Germany in the final 3-1, their third victory. Dino Zoff in the Italian goal at 40 years old became the oldest player to win a WC medal.

Scotland had beaten New Zealand in their group match 5-2 but couldn't go on, losing to Brazil 4-1 and drawing with the Soviet Union 2-2.
