Expansion set 3: Covers the 1950, 1986 & 1990 World Cup tournaments and the bonus Euro 2008 game.
3 double-sided score sheets, one for 1950 and Euro2008; one for 1986 and one for 1990.
In 1950 it was fortunate, perhaps that the final match to be played was between the two contenders, the highly fancied home nation, Brazil and their local rivals Uruguay. Uruguay upset the home fans by beating Brazil 2-1 to take their 2nd title.
1986 held in Mexico and 1990 in Italy were two of three tournaments whereby 4 of the third place teams progressed to the 2nd round. It was a complex mechanism to decide which teams played against each other in the Round of 16 in order to keep teams apart for the rest of the tournament who had played in the same group. Both Finals were contested by West Germany and Argentina - one win each!
The Euro 2008 bonus game will allow players to choose their own rankings. There will be guidelines with a ranking system in place. It will be interesting to see how accurate the guideline rankings are by the time we get to the final on 29 June 2008!
