It’s very often, quite sarcastically, that the majority of us on here are old farts with outdated views and should be put out to grass. This thread disputes that……….nobody has mentioned ‘58!!!!

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.

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?
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
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.
