Report

Ukraine and Korea Republic lit up the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland, reaching the Final, where Ukraine prevailed 3-1. To have won their first Major Tournament so close to home in neighbours Poland must have been extra special to them.

Korea Republic were also outstanding throughout, defeating Argentina in the Group Phase, a shock result which sent them through to Round 2. There they knocked out neighbours Japan 1-0 before progressing to the Semi-Finals with a penalties victory over Group A winners Senegal. There they defeated Ecuador 1-0, who finished third with a 1-0 win of their own over Italy in the Playoff.

Ukraine won Group D ahead of USA, Nigeria and Qatar and then defeated Panama 4-1, before knocking out both Colombia and Group B winners Italy by a scoreline of 1-0. Ukraine’s defence was their highlight, keeping three clean sheets in their seven matches (all 1-0 victories), and conceding only four altoghether, with two 3-1 wins and one 4-1 win.

Qualifiers

Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Paraguay Qualify for Finals in Mexico 1986.

Report

Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil – the three traditional powers in South American Futbol (Soccer) qualified for the Mexico ’86 Finals from the three groups as expected, although it was not without hiccups towards the end, with Argentina losing in Peru and just about managing to qualify from Group 1 with a 2-2 draw at home to the Peruvians in the Final fixture. Uruguay needed to beat Chile in their Final match to qualify, and did so, 2-1. Brazil meanwhile only drew their last two games at home to Paraguay and Bolivia 1-1. Paraguay won through from the four-team runners-up playoff for the fourth South American place at Mexico ’86.

Jorge Luis Burruchaga of Argentina, played with Nantes Atlantique in Brittany, France at the time. Atlantic civilisation is sometimes used as a wider way of identifying the Celtic peoples, including the Irish, along with other Atlantic civilisations to which the Celtic races were a part of in pre-history [Reference: 6-7]
