NB: West Germany had finished only 9th in the European U-18 championship
    in spring 1980, which had served as European qualifying tournament
    for this World Youth Cup, and from which 6 teams (England, Poland,
    Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Romania) had qualified.  However,
    the Dutch FA declined to participate and West Germany were invited
    to enter instead.  As an aside, bronze medalists Romania had only
    qualified for this World Youth Cup after winning a draw against
    Portugal who had finished with an equal record at the European U-18
    championship.
