World Cup: Difference between revisions

During the 1966 World Cup's final match between England and [[Germany]], [[Joseph Galloway]], who possessed the [[Blessing Star]], watched the match, and the jewel started to respond to his fervent wish for England's victory over Germany. As he watched the final, the [[First Doctor]], fresh from his victory over [[WOTAN]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Machines]]'') found him. The [[Time Lord]] had been tracking down the Star so as to tie up loose ends from his last visit to England. To his dismay, he found the Star too late. By then, the Star had started to overload, taking in not just the rag and bones man's wishes, but those of people all over England. The Star allowed England to make a very close shot into the German goal, but no more. It exploded, overwhelmed by the hopes of an entire nation. England went on to win, but without any further help from the Star. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Rag and Bone Man's Story]]'')  

On [[11 July]] [[1982]], [[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 [[alien invasion|invaded]] by the [[Threllip]]s. 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.
