There was a World Cup in 1982 as well. In fact, Argentina, champions at the time, knocked England out of the Cup. It was, as far as I know, the only time countries have played each other at football while their troops were in action against each other.

I used to go to Argentina quite a bit in the late 80s and early 90s (for work) and they were still celebrating that World Cup win from the 80s. :-)

I also remember that if someone said "Falklands" in Argentina, they would be swiftly corrected and told that those islands are "Las Malvinas."
