In our thirteenth file, we travel to Mexico, 1986 — where one player turned the World Cup into his stage.
Sixteen years after Mexico last hosted the tournament, the World Cup returned with blazing sunshine, packed stadiums, and football drama from every direction. France, Brazil, Belgium, England, and West Germany all played their part in a tournament full of brilliant goals, fierce battles, and unforgettable moments. But above everyone stood Diego Maradona — dazzling, controversial, unstoppable, and ready to create some of the most famous scenes in football history.
In Episode 13: Mexico 1986, we uncover how Mexico stepped in to host the World Cup once again, how Maradona’s genius and controversy shaped the tournament, and how Argentina fought its way to a second world title.
Strap in. History never played it safe.
