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.

1982 was a mockery..5-0 over saudi in the first half in there country..... when they beat us at home!
 
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!

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".

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

Lots of speculation on that. Some ideas.
(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....

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

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.

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.
