1982 FIFA World Cup Group B

☆ Save On Wikipedia ↗

Group B was one of four groups of national teams competing in the second stage of the 1982 FIFA World Cup. The group's three matches were staged at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid. The group consisted of three teams advancing from the first group stage: Group 2 winners West Germany, Group 5 runners-up, the host nation Spain, and Group 4 winners England.[1] England finished the group without scoring or conceding a single goal, the only time that has ever happened in any kind of group in FIFA World Cup history. Like Scotland in '74 and Brazil in '78, Three Lions of '82 stayed unbeaten but were eliminated before the semi-finals.

West Germany topped the group and advanced to the semi-finals.
