1978 argentina 6 peru 0, was a fix offical

link?

hope not cos i laid argies for stupid prices right from the start

Nothing suprises me with that Junta

Wasn't the Peruvian keeper Argentine born?

link, sun today

Any country that harbours and protects dozens of nazi war criminals isnt gonna worry about fixing a football match to suit its own needs.

peru hid timber twice in that game when it was 0-0 i remember cos i stayed up late to watch it was going to school was 12 at the time,it was one of my great childhood memories that world cup and i was hoping the argies would win,i adored there players kempes ossie passarella houseman fillol ortiz luque etc

* peru hit timber

nowt to do with hostilities in the falklands/malvinas


the sun trying to get the racists back on board

argentina squad was numbered alphabetically

no 1 was an outfield player, norberto alonso

never seen that before or since

The Sun printed it today?
was the whole paper devoted to news 20 years old?
Linda Lusardi on page three?

Donny, I might be dreaming this, but I'm sure I once saw Charlton have strange numbers, including No 1 as an outfield player.

Any Addicks confirm this?

could well be kev, must have happened at some point, i just never saw it outside this world cup

thats right fillol was 5 and ossie was 2 think luis galvan was 7 and kempes 10

Explain that comment please....

what part of it do you fail to understand ?

are you a sun reader ?

I am not a Sun reader but are you trying to tell me that anyone who thinks that the Falklands should remain as they are is a racist ?

no

g hall, luque was my fav

I will try again you thick North-Eastern Dole Scrounging Mormon....Do you think that the Falkland Islands should be handed over to the Argentines ?

lol, harrys dog must have really got to you

Woof!

Answer my question you Dic khead....

one of my fav world cups, used to love staying up to watch argies at 11pm, great walloping long range goals  from dutch in that comp.

Not a Charlton fan (Everton), but I seem to recall Stuart Balmer was the outfield player who wore number one.

Donny Osmond...Puppy Love..

Wouldnt have fancied the job of clearing up the pitch after games.

best team on paper won ....

i remember the 70s world cup, home from school 3.30, tea and off to bed at 5.00, up then at around 11.00 to watch italy v germany west, brazil v peru, , i was 9 years old , and the following day in school yard i was jairzinho

the 70's world cups were brilliant as there wasnt as much  football on tv
in them days

funny qualifying for this world cup


scotland were in a group of 3 with those euro giants WALES-no wonder they qualified ffs

cup final live, european cup final live, eng v scot home int live that was it,

england v poland qualifier was on live too, lol, i'll never forget that "clown" the poles had in goal

Loved the '74 World Cup. Holland the best side ive ever seen. Great players in every position except the keeper Jan Jongbloed who must have been Scottish.

Good memory ccjefc.

I thought I might have made that up.


Another vague memory, this one from the late 70's or early 80's, and I'm not sure if I made this up too.


Did England once play Liverpool in an unofficial game? I think  it was a time when Liverpool provided England with probably 6-7 players.

tomaszewski.called a clown by cloughie broke our hearts that evening.
The 70`s were magical and memorable.I also remember running home to catch the 3.30 kick offs in germany.I was a tad annoyed that Holland didnt win it,they deserved to.Cruyff was some player.
Even the world cup pundits were great.Cloughie,Alison etc.

I don't really remember the 1974 World Cup, so '78 was my first WC memory.

As a kid it was magical, foreign players, different colours, ticker tape, the final being held up because one of the Van Der Kerkof (sp?) brothers had the wrong cast on.

It wasn't until much later that I found out the horror the Argentine government imposed on it's people.

Though I don't remember WC 74, for some reason I remember the FA Cup Final's of '73 & '74.

Growing up in Liverpool you couldn't avoid the 1974 Final, but '73 I fell in love with Jim Montgomery and Sunderland.
So much so that my parents took me to Stoke for a FA Cup tie against Sunderland around 1975 or 1976 so I could see my hero.

donny, yes the eng v pol qualifier was on live in 73.great game with fantastic comm by brian moore, even the league cup final wasnt live until late 70s

ahh yes, must have been 1978 and a new subbeuteo set for my birthday - throwing confetti over the subbeuteo pitch is a memory that holds very dear with me 

I also remember the 82 world cup and the biggest fix of all was West Germany and Austria fixing a 1-0 win for West Germany which would see both teams qualify.
The play after germany scored was of non contact, dont come near any penalty areas and take as long as possible taking a throw.
Even the commentator was ashamed of what he was witnessing.
Algeria were the victims of austro-german pact.

1978 World Cup was pure theatre - I loved it.

I know we are taught to hate Argies, but the passion the fans showed was breath taking. I hated the generals in charge of the country, but I admire the fans and the common people.

Most people at the time thought the Peru game was a fix, but as said Argentina had the best and most entertaining side.

for some reason, think it may have been something to do with flight preojectory of the ball, there were a whole lot of those long-range goals, havent seen so many in any comp since 78.

Peru were magic at that tournament, push and run football and the ball never left the deck.
Deserved to qualify in my opinion, the players wore an all white kit V Argentina in protest so the clues were there all along.
Remember as kids we were all thrashing shots from anywhere to try and recreate the long distance goals.
arie Haan from 40 yards against Dino Zoff then regarded as the best keeper in the world....
great memories.

think haan might have lashed a couple of long rangers in

remember shoot magazine ran an interview with him during following season, essentially asking how come he had a foot like a traction engine

The Sunday Times did the original exposure of this story in 1986 (I believe it was on the actual day of the '86 World Cup Final).

That was the filthiest renewal of a World Cup since the days of Fascism in the 30s, when Italy were the recipients of very imaginable favour.

The deal worked out between the 2 countries wasn't just prisoners. As I recall it involved agricultural supplies as well, but at my great age I don't rmmbr all the fin details.

And as for the 'but Peru hit the post so it couldn't possibly be a f i x' nonsense, dear Lord, words fail me. It is possible to win a f i x e d match from 0-1 or 0-2 you know. 

A Brazilian team coming nicely to the boil were thus kept out of the final, having easily nullified the Argentinian attack in the 0-0 second stage group match between the two.
