Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Italia 90 was fucking atrocious. It was so bad, they changed rules to ensure football was never that shit again. France 98 I have the fondest memories of, but that's more down to nostalgia and I think the last two World Cups are easily the best I've watched.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 27, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2020 France 98 was a great tournament from my point of view. France tend to host really good tournaments, like Euro 2016 for example - which is generally agreed upon as the finest football tournament in history.

But did he score a goal against Liverpool that simultaneously gave one of their players liquid testicles? If so he can still be considered a legend, as per the Casiraghi Ruling of 1999.

Keith Houchen Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 1982 World Cup was the best for me, Clive. Young Keith has seen nothing like it and didn’t realise football could be played this way. It was other worldly! Obviously I grew out of that and proper football won, but I can only imagine the same eye opener would be a youngster being lucky enough to have the Euro 2016 as their introduction to football.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 27, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 27, 2020 1994 is a ridiculously under-rated World Cup. Either because England didn't qualify or the games being on late at night is my guess but it's rarely mentioned and it was a belter. Particularly the knock out stage. 1990 is probably still my favourite. Objectively, I know it's atrocious, but its complete nostalgic heaven. The first tournament where I was utterly engrossed from weeks before, watched every possible minute and loved the wave of optimism that built as England progressed. 1998 is the complete World Cup. The kick off times were ideal, though England v Tunisia at 3pm on a working day was probably a nightmare for many, there were tons of great games, the best players in the world were out in force and there were notable stories galore. Brilliant stuff. In retrospect, 82 and 86 were very good too but I'm too young for 82 and I pretty much only remember collecting the Kinder toys and Panini stickers for 86!

SuperBacon Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Agreed 1994 is underrated and it absolutely has to do with where it was held and the snobbishness behind that. Best set of kits as well, including the best ever, US away. Fucking phwoar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
