Football World Cup 1986 → 1986 FIFA World Cup – following the consensus of naming the World Cup articles as FIFA World Cup in Wikipedia, and consistency of naming the major international football tournaments.

An anon user keeps placing Alessandro Altobelli as having 4 goals in the competition, while I count only 3: Against Bulgaria, Argentina and Korea Republic. Perhaps there's a mistake with the goals in the competition, but until that is fixed Altobelli should appear having 3 goals. Mariano( t/ c) 09:49, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Altobelli scored 4 goals. 1 vs Bulgaria, 1 vs Argentina, 2 vs South Korea.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.205.128.247 ( talk • contribs).
Frankly, there was no USSR team in 1986, it was the exact ukranian team (Dinamo Kiev to be precise) under the sickle-hammer disguise. Anyhow, the hungarian defeat 6-0 against them is often considered a "second Mohacs" (first Mohacs was the loss of a big battle against ottoman turks in 1526, ending independence). It is said the 1986 fiasco marked end of decline of the entire hungarian soccer team, which started in 1966 with frequent goalkeeper errors. We haven't yet recovered, no world cup slots for us since 1986. 195.70.48.242 10:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Something is wrong in the penalty shots. In Zico's page it says he missed the penalty but on this page it says he scored. He missed, but then, if you make the change, then the last French player would not have needed to shoot. -- Lduperval 20:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Hopefully someone can tell us who broadcasted the games for the 1986 world cup match against Argentina and england.
There should be more pictures of Diego Maradona's hand ball or his goal of the century. MegasAllexandros 02:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
As a New Zealander, I shouldn't be saying this, but I think it's a good thing we didn't make it into the final 24 like we did four years earlier. With the Rainbow Warrior incident fresh in the All Whites' minds, if they were to go up against France, there would have been quite a few fights on the pitch and the referee would really have to practise his card-showing because he was going to have to do it quite a bit. Scott Gall 21:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC) PS: Starting to go off the topic, but seeing as I wasn't born yet, did anyone watch the RWC 1987 final? And as it was between NZ and France, was there any fighting on the field?
AFAIR, the teams third in each group did not qualify as simply as the top 4 of 6: there was a rather contrived system to avoid teams who had played each other in the group stages meeting in the second round which meant that it was possible even to have been the third best of the third placed teams and yet still not reach the third round. The current table, although it describes what happened, does not reflect the rality of why those 4 teams continued in the competition. Kevin McE 19:01, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The name pique derives from "picante" (spicy or hot) as is mentiones on the main article, but it is also a play on words as "pique" also means heated rivalry (usually a sporting one but may mean other types) at least in Mexico. For example: Hay pique entre Mexico y EUA. = There is a rivalry between Mexico and The USA. Amendezg 23:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Why was there only one european team drawn in Group B, and yet in Groups C, E, and F, there were three european teams drawn? How come the teams weren't separated on continental zones, as is the normal procedure? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.23.112 ( talk) 15:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Image:Wc1986.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm proposing to merge Hero (1987 film), the "official film of the 1986 FIFA World Cup," into this article. I nominated the film article for deletion based on an inability to find sources confirming its notability, but it survived thanks to some new (although slightly dubious) references provided by someone else. Still, as it is, I don't believe the topic is currently justified as needing its own article (as it is, it's apparently not even notable enough to currently be mentioned in this article), and the admin who closed the AFD suggested that it could be merged here. Any objections? Propaniac ( talk) 16:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Iran did not take part to this World Cup. It was Iraq which competed. Then, Iraq didn't reach the Round of 16, since they lost all three matches (Mexico, Paraguay, Belgium). So the standings of Group B is completely wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.205.215.11 ( talk) 18:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
FIFA Game Report states that Maradona scored his 2nd goal against England in the quarterfinals at the 54th minute mark. I just watched the game (it was reprised by ESPN) and the clock was marking about 10:30 minutes on the 2nd half when he scored. This means the goal was scored at the 56th minute mark, instead of 54th, as FIFA rounds up the scoring time. I won't change the information on this page because we all know that Wikipedia demands us to give reliable sources to write things down. So I can't just change the info stating that "I've watched the game, this timing is wrong". I also can't find any reliable source to change that info. Anyone that could help on finding this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.78.48.103 ( talk) 01:32, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I am noticing that the section of the Second Round and Quarter finals is a complete chronological mess.
