Top Five World Cups That Delighted Football Fans

Mexico 1986

What makes a great World Cup? In 1986, it was one man; Diego Maradona, and that’s why Mexico 86 is the best tournament ever. He was magical, scoring wonder goals, but also highly controversial with his ‘Hand of God’ goal in the quarterfinals. His Argentina side won a thrilling final 3-2 in the best World Cup of the modern era. Elsewhere, Denmark impressed in the group stages before being hammered by an emerging Spain, whilst England only conceded two goals all tournament, both scored by Maradona. It was the little genius who stole the headlines, and rightly so.
