1982 was a mockery..5-0 over saudi in the first half in there
country..... when they beat us at home!
I'm interseted,but I can't do anything because I live in
Italy
KSA's difficulty was with China. The "godless
communists". Speaking, years ago, to a friend who was
living in Riyadh at the time of the game she told me it was the
worst kept secret that KSA were NOT going to beat NZ. The
nice new cars that all of the KSA squad got after "losing" to NZ
seemed an odd "bonus".
(a) We're a football team not a political toy...
(b) It was hugely hot and both teams ran out of steam by half time...
(c) We overcooked that first half let's not make it look too obvious....
Lots of speculation on that. Some ideas.

Remember that the Saudi game was played on that horrible plastic pitch. Not only did the heat play a factor but most of the Kiwis had terrible blisters by half time and had to play the second half in pain. Good result considering.
Also, the story is that the Kuwaitis paid the ref off for their game in NZ (remember the 2 penalty decisions) so if the Saudis did throw it then that is karma in my book.

1982 World Cup Matches
Hi,
I have dvd copies of the All Whites matches in Spain 1982 and
the Road To Spain which shows highlights of their qualifying
campaign.
As these are extremely rare I am selling them for $20
each which I think is very reasonable or $70 for all four. If you
are interested please email me at [email protected] . I
may be willing to trade if you have any matches Im interested in. I
also have many other matches apart from the ones I have mentioned
here.

Saudi and kuwait had political issues and NZ winning stop
Kuwait from progressing through to play China.

Get
your facts right mate!
Firstly, Kuwait qualified by winning the group!! Saudi did not
beat us in NZ. You can say what you like but surely the fact they
conceded all the goals in the first half is still leaving things to
go 'wrong' according to their 'plans' in the second half. And
indeed Saudi hit the bar in the 2nd half. One Saudi goal would have
knocked NZ out. If they wanted it to look convincing why concede
all the goals in the first half?
Plus, football is a funny old game... if you do not realise
that by now you are pretty slow!
You live in Italy?... You lucky bugger.
Just send me a message at the above email address and we may
be able to sort something out. Cheers mate.

Makes more sense! But why concede them all in the first half
and not just concede a sixth which would have knocked China
out?

Seems strange though. We will never know I guess. Just have
opinions.

Hello all seeing your'e so interested in 1982 I've decided to start looking for people who were in Spain for the World Cup. Seems as good a time as any. Time for a reunion maybe? Do you know anyone?
Sorry all, I meant from a spectator point of view. We travelled by
bus from London, took two days.
Hi, Even though you live overseas Im sure we can work
something out. Email me if you are interested.
