I notice that WC's since the turn of the century don't get much of a mention. My favourite WC would also go back to the 20th Century.

Mine as well. Devastated when they closed the Toilets in The Hayes.Originally Posted by NinianKnight
Funniest world cup moment for me is when Germany battered Brazil in the semi final 2014 (Brazil) if anyone is bored, then take alook at Germany's goals, all 7 of them could have easily been avoided, the defending was worse than shocking. It was funny because of all the Brazil fans crying, after the Brazilian side banged out their national anthem twice. And the reaction of David Luiz who went rogue and decided to play up front. Big Phil Scolari's face was a picture, after the fith went in it was like he didn't give a ****
The 2nd funniest thing was that weird bloke who used to dress up in a union jack suit for England games and was allowed to stand by the players tunnel. It's a good job he;s not about in this day and age as interpol would probably like a quiet word.
I saw Wales v England at Ninian Park, just before the 82 World Cup and that fella was on the pitch then. I remember he came over to the Bob Bank during the game waving a Wales flag and he got dogs abuse. I felt quite sorry for him at the time, but a few years later some allegations came out about him. Can’t remember if the allegations were proven though?Funniest world cup moment for me is when Germany battered Brazil in the semi final 2014 (Brazil) if anyone is bored, then take alook at Germany's goals, all 7 of them could have easily been avoided, the defending was worse than shocking.

John Lennon was seen wandering around looking for his independence there, it just seemed to vanish in The Hayes.

Did you build them?
1970 for me too.
But the Dutch side of the 74 and 78 cups Johaan Cruyff and Rudy Krol,- probably the best side never to win the WC
Couldn’t get any ‘Help’!
Yeah I Googled it after my post and realised it was considerably later on.
It then took me to some YouTube Clips.
Jeez, what a player!
It was very odd, that l'm sure of. Remember the three wheeled Robin reliant disability cars parked behind the goal at Stamford Bridge. The old man used to say to me that the cars only had three wheels because the drivers only had one leg. I tried not to laugh.
I think Mexico was a good one. The games were 7pm and 11pm as I recall. One down the pub and then one when I got home. I remember watching Spain 5-1 Denmark after the pub one night. What a game!

I've watched from 1970 and the best world cup for me was the Argentinian 1978 tournament.
Mario Kempes was outstanding in the tournament and that team were too
Was also a qualified Doctor and smoked 60 a day. Like you say, what a player though.
Socrates also spoke out against the military leadership who governed Brazil at the time. He was an interesting character off the pitch. He was the leader of that Brazilian side in 82, even though they had Zico amongst a load of other fantastic players.
Rossi did them mind.
That’s right. I remember at Mexico 86 he wore a headband with a political slogan on it criticising the government. Think he also refused to sing the anthem at that tournament?
The side in 82 was pure brilliance, by 86 the likes of Zico, Socrates and Junior were a bit over the hill. Shame they didn’t win in 82
1958 Brazil v Wales 1-0 defeat in Q/F, John Charles kicked out of the tournament by the Magyars Pele.
Brazil went further in the 86 tournament than 82. They lost on pens in a great game to France. That French side were good mind with Platini and Tigana running teams ragged. They probably should've won a World Cup in 82 if it wasn't for Schumacher decapitating Batiston.
How I remember this shiit amazes me when I won't be able to tell you a the result from last night in a couple of hours.
Off at a tangent, the kits on show were much better too.
Netherlands v Portugal 2006
Not much football but definitely interesting to watch . 4 reds and 16 yellows

1982 was class.Brazil v Italy quarter final awesome.
Yeah that was a great game.
Alan Rough trying to impersonate a goal keeper was a highlight of 82 as well.
2022 because Wales were there?
Bit of a damp squib in the end but the build up of playing in the World Cup was pretty good!
