#WFEye – Images from around the world of football

Days before their first group game, some players had been caught eating hamburgers in a shopping centre and were reprimanded by the team doctor. England goalkeeper Shilton never forgave the number 10, not for committing the handball, he said, but for not apologising for it. He later refused to invite Maradona to his testimonial.

Years later, Chris Waddle put the 'Hand of God' furore into perspective: "A lot of England fans will never forgive Maradona for what he did. But if Gary Lineker had done it at the other end, he'd still be hailed as a hero." But amid all that, the boots he wore that summer have become iconic. They are inseparable from the man and that summer when he led his country to victory over West Germany in the final. On the eve of the quarter-final against England, Passarella became ill again and was admitted to hospital with a colonic ulcer. Maradona declined to visit him. A search around Mexico City to find a quarter-final kit The next match was against Italy. The rebels ate hamburgers again, Aerolineas pilots brought meat for a barbecue, players took the same seats on the bus, Brown answered the phone to no-one, Tapia shaved (even though he didn't need to), Maradona recreated his invisible man, Olarticoechea turned reporter, the team drank mate at the same time, Bilardo phoned his wife at precisely 17:00, and Giusti went to the centre of the pitch where he dropped a sweet.On the surface, such blatant pigeonholing might seem unfair. But the PUMA King’s contemporary synonymity with a no-thrills approach to the beautiful game signifies a slow shift in the culture of football. The COPA MUNDIAL is now a really simple construction, but the pattern of curved double stitching across the toe was very rare at the time, and probably a very elaborate technique in its own way. It was his fifth assist of a tournament where he had also scored five goals, meaning he had been actively involved in 10 of his team's 14 goals and hit half of the total shots on target. Around 1975, the Adidas moulded studs flagship model, the “ WORLD CUP WINNER ,” was released, but around 1979, it had the same shoe’s tongue mark as the “ World Cup 78” . More than 500 items will be for sale at Julien’s Auctions Sports: Legends event this weekend, with football, baseball, basketball, tennis and golf all represented.

Firstly, we shouldn't forget that the Puma King Finale soccer shoes have already been worn competitively, and have even scored a World Cup goal! Exclusively reported by the SoccerBible earlier in the year, and noticed by the eagle-eyed boot spotters out there, it was Diego Maradona's compatriot Martin Palermo who debuted the Puma King Finale football boots.The current model of adidas COPA MUNDIAL was improved around 1994 and has been produced with little change up to the present. The spontaneity of it all is a big part of its popularity. It feels organic and, in fact, it is, right down to the fact that the music wasn't played by some DJ, but by a cover band that churned out a a range of early 1980s hits, including Opus. With its dark leather, workman-like aesthetic, wrap-around laces, and large white tongue flapping rather unceremoniously mid-sprint, the PUMA King is a boot that, in the modern era at least, has come to represent a certain type of player. But in Naples, with Maradona’s status as a living legend, comparable only to the city’s patron saint, San Gennaro, anti-Covid restrictions will likely not be observed. “This 2020 is really the worst year ever”, one woman told Naples-based newspaper il Mattino. A draw against Italy, a two-goal victory over Bulgaria and a 1-0 win against Uruguay meant the scene was set for a quarter-final against England.

When you agreed to go to 'the shed' you were actually saying that you are willing to do everything, to live in bad conditions, to do things on and off the pitch that you didn't like," said Jorge Valdano, who scored four goals during the tournament. One of the main reasons why people who do not know the time may mistakenly believe that the COPA MUNDIAL debuted in 1979 is because of the blue fabric on the shoe’s tongue markings. Seemingly everyone saw the handball - everyone apart from Tunisian referee Ali bin Nasser and Bulgarian linesman Bogdan Dochev.Maradona's now-iconic warm-up 31 years ago last Sunday was one of those defining moments in soccer for what it revealed about the player and about us. dpa/picture alliance via Getty Images Team captain Daniel Passarella - the first Argentine to lift the trophy in 1978, and a man who enjoyed a cigarette and a glass of Scotch - had a 1986 World Cup to forget. It was unusual to begin with for Napoli to warm up on the pitch. In those days, it took place before the teams came out," he says. "We didn't really pay attention until the music started. Within seconds, everybody was watching. Nobody wanted to miss a thing."
