Favourite World Cup?

Great game that.

It was. I remember when Gemmel scored, we were all jumping about and I looked across to our neighbours and so were they, then that Dutch **** went up and scored. Still, we beat them.

No small feat in itself, they were a great side

Mexico 70.
That Brazil team was amazing.

I agree. I grew up in a Rugby League family, and was 9 years old at the time of the '66 World Cup. That was my first real experience of Football. In the Autumn of '66 I started going to Maine Road, so was well into Football by 1970. The romance of the World Cup 'abroad' was amazing to me, didn't care that England didn't win it, just loved the whole comp...

Summed us up to a tee. Lost to Peru, who were totally underestimated, drew with Iran, our goal came from an OG, then when all seemed lost, we did what we do in a tight corner, we stood and fought. Had great players and took them on and defeated them.

The 86 England kit was a beauty as well. Was 8yr old at the time, the 1st I remember and playing football down the park with my wrist bandaged during the tournament.

Our kid owned that shirt, unfortunately I was wearing it when I came off my Raleigh Burner. I broke my arm and the nurse had to take some scissors to it to get it off me. He wasn't fuckin happy!

How selfish of him. Younger brothers, the cunts don’t know half of it. I’ve got two. It’s all me, me me.

Argentina 78. My first proper world Cup. Being allowed to stay up till after midnight watching the night games. Argentina's games were incredible especially when they had to play in Rosario with the tight pitch and tickertape.
Also the BBC theme tune was the best ever even better than nessun dorma

I'm old enough to remember watching England win it in 1966 with my dad and two brothers......oh and my mum (for the final)

I never watched an England game after that with my whole family.
