If you were in South Africa...you'd understand why it's up there

The actual football itself was pretty bad though

Ill start again on the right thread...

Argentina 78 was a good World Cup. Even though England werent in it. Argentina were brilliant with Kempes and Luque. The Tickertape World Cup.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem is that it was a bent World Cup, without a doubt the most corrupt there has ever been and Argentina really should be stripped of that title.

There you go.

1974 was my first I really remember

I said the other day despite putting a post up about the human rights issues in Qatar they have rolled out an excellent tournament so far with no trouble no issues in brand new stadium's - nothing

Which to be fair you can't fault them for

Some of the draconian laws and way of life in Qatar have probably helped, as much as it feels contradictory to say.

With stadia so close together, if you threw alcohol and light policing into the mix, all hell may have broken loose.

Not that that is a suggestion that everywhere should adopt their way of life, of course.

Even the heat has been a complete non issue...which surprised me

I’ve also seen every World Cup since (and including) 86. I remember 86 quite well, but not well enough to say how great it was. My personal favourites are USA 94 (weird, I know) and Russia 18.

USA 94 was awesome. Baggio, Romario, Stoichkov, Hagi, Diana Ross, Bulgaria beating Germany, Ireland beating Italy, Romania beating Argentina in a classic, USA beating Colombia and getting through the group… Let down by a poor final though.

This one has been very good as well so far.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
USA 94 is the best for me. Great games like Holland vs Brazil, Romania vs Argentina, USA vs Brazil (on USA independent day), Romania vs Sweden, Bulgaria vs Germany... were all memorable games. Great goals too, like the Saudi solo goal vs Belgium, Romario, Stoichkov, Dahlin, Hagi, Amokachi, Branco, Klinsmann..

1970 for me, and also 1966 because I was at three of the games, including the QF and Final.

Italia 90 jack charlton

The greatest thing to ever happen here. I was 16. Was fooking amazing. No problem getting a few pints and the whole country was behind the team
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My favourite too as an Englishman and Tottenham fan

Lineker and gazza

I was only 12 so it was my first proper one to appreciate

Great memories
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeh I quite enjoyed the 1990 one from an England point of view. Platt`s last minute goal against Belgium, being a few minutes away from losing to Cameroon, and then the dreaded semi final penalty shoot out against Germany.

Another one I liked was the 1978 in Argentina, definitely the best for atmosphere. The Argies certainly know how to support their team.

Italia 90!

The first one i can remember, Roger Miller dancing in the corners, The Argies getting beat first game, the theme song, the tv graphics, Gazza crying after getting booked.

England 66 Jack Charlton ☺️
