1982 World Cup

The 1982 World Cup ended on 11 July 1982, when Italy beat West Germany in the World Cup Final with a score of three to one. Much to Charley Pollard's disdain, the Eighth Doctor enthused over the victory, and briefly joined in the public celebrations in the Italian village of Ferrara. Unbeknownst to the revellers, however, Ferrara (and the world beyond) was being invaded by the Threllips. As part of the subterfuge to end the invasion, the Doctor convinced the Threllip that the jubilation in Ferrara was actually a sign of an illness called "World Cup Fever", to which the Threllips were also susceptible.
