Favourite World Cup?

90 springs to mind as it was the only world cup i ever remember England doing well. However if i was to name my favourite world cup it would 100% be Spain 82.

Brazil, that kit and Zico will always be one of my most memorable teams in history in my mind. I was probably only 8 at the time and it was the first world cup i remember. Had a little book my mum and dad bought me that showed all the stadiums, teams, groups etc and you filled it in as the tournament progressed. I remember running home from primary school to watch Brazil v Italy and that game will always stick in my head. That Brazil side really made me fall in love with football.
 
1982
Couple of the best teams to never win the world cup - the great but tragic French team, the wonderful Brazilians
In particular, their wonderful midfields, I could rewatch their games forever just to see their instinctive, mesmeric passing patterns

Several other strong teams - Poland, Belgium, USSR, etc
Some rather classic matches
Controversy
And the bad guys lost!
That France v West Germany semi final was one of the best games in any WC.
 
When I think back I loved Mexico 86, Italia 90, liked Japan and South Korea and despite our abysmal showing I actually quite liked South Africa too.
The vuvuzela just made the stadiums sound unique.
