1986년 FIFA 월드컵

1970년 멕시코 월드컵 이후로 16년 만에 다시 멕시코에서 1986년 5월 31일부터 6월 29일까지 열렸다. 아르헨티나가 우승, 서독이 준우승을 했다. 본래 이 대회는 콜롬비아에서 열릴 예정이었으나, 콜롬비아가 1982년에 재정 문제를 이유로 개최권을 반납하자, 멕시코가 대타로 개최했다.

1986 FIFA World Cup

It was won by Argentina (their second title, after winning in 1978). Argentina was captained by the 25-year old Diego Maradona, who played a large part in his team's success. Maradona scored the "Hand of God" goal, as well as another voted "Goal of the Century", in the same quarter-final against England. These were two of the five goals that Maradona scored during the tournament, and he also created another five for his teammates.
