    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

España 82 tells the full story of the tournament, from controversy to brilliance, from heartbreak to Marco Tardelli - football has never looked more magnificent than in the 1982 World Cup.

    Long description:

    España 82 tells the captivating story of the 1982 World Cup. Following the controversial military-led 1978 World Cup in Argentina, Spain opened its doors to the world and an expanded tournament. Twenty-four teams played 52 games in what would prove to be a fiesta of football. The rain clouds of Buenos Aires were replaced by warm, sultry evenings, and underneath the floodlights the Spanish summer produced a hazy heat that radiated through the TV screen. The greatest players in the world - Zico, Maradona, Platini and Boniek - were all there alongside a host of newcomer nations, including Cameroon and New Zealand. Incident upon incident filled the TV screens accompanied by crackly commentary. Schumacher's assault on Battiston, Hungry 10-1 El Salvador, West Germany's conspiratorial 1-0 win over Austria, Kuwait walking off the pitch against France, that Italian victory over Brazil and Marco Tardelli's iconic schoolboy-inspiring goal celebration. This impressionable ten-year-old boy returns to relive his own greatest World Cup tournament.
