We’ve got part 2* of the look back at Argentina’s victorious campaign at Mexico 86. Here we’ve got the early stages ofArgentina’s journey. Maradona shows his class by assisting all three goals against the rough-housing South Koreans, then scoring a deft equaliser against Italy. It’s the result against Italy that slowly starts to win over the sceptics who felt that Argentina were heading for disaster. Further wins follow over Bulgaria and Uruguay. Bilardo settles on a core of players who will carry Argentina through the competition – a contrast with the hectic chopping and changing of the previous three years.
*The original plan was to cover Argentina’s Mexico 86 campaign in a single episode but there was so much material – especially for the England game – that I’ve split the campaign into two episodes.
