England started badly in group 6 of the FIFA World Cup 1986 (held in Mexico) but managed to qualify for the second stage by beating Poland 3-0 with a hat-trick from Gary Lineker (on 8, 14 and 35 minutes). England lost 2-1 to Argentina in the quarter finals when Maradona scored one handball and one great goal. Gary Lineker did get the golden boot award however, by being top scorer (6 goals).
