What was your favorite World cup?

[Chicken Runner61]

Argentina 78 for me.

I was old enough to appreciate it and the atmospheres at most games seemed incredible.

The scottish farce made it really enjoyable too. The drug thing and All those fans singing "we want our money back"

 

[Smithy]

I was born in 1981 so Italia '90 for me.

I cried my eyes out when we lost on pens in the semis.

[defrocked priest]

66 the last time we won it. I was 2 years old then remember it well.

 

[grummitts gloves]

1990 for me. Socially and where I was living. It was the best!

 

[WhingForPresident]

2002

 

[sams dad]

1966

 

[Billy the Fish]

Italia 90'

 

[Gwylan]

1966 - is there really any other answer?

I loved every minute of it, as all these countries I knew as stamps in my stamp album played each other. And as England progressed to the final, I couldn't understand why people didn't think it was obvious that we were going to win it - how little I knew.

 

[pasty]

I have a sneaky suspicion it's going to be this one.....

 

[The Modfather]

1982.

The first one I saw envolving England.

Bryan Robson scores the fastest world cup goal after 30 seconds, and England do not lose a game.

 

[Farehamseagull]

1990 without any doubt. Great tournament, lineker gazza, schillacci, baggio, world in motion, cameroon etc. It well and truly cemented my love for football

 

[Scotty Mac]

2006 i spent must of it in a drunkern haze as it was my first as a legal drinker - all day sessions in the pub, kick abouts in the garden and then out on the town already utterly bladered

i quite enjoyed 98 - croatia going miles, the hope and promise that owen gave and the best player in the world dominating the final after the second best had a mental breakdown

 

[Lord Bracknell]

1970 was good. I watched most of the games in the company of the legendary "Mr Nice", Howard Marks. I can't remember much of what happened, though.

 

[vulture]

spain 1982

 

[Juan Albion]

1958. Before I was born, though.

 

[perth seagull]

1994 was my favourite, followed by 1990.

 

[cuthbert]

1970, Brazil were the best team I have ever seen. 1966 was good but I found it difficult to enjoy as my mother was ill and died shortly after the final.

 

[OzMike]

1966 my dad bought me a 'saucy tanner' from the ice cream man to celebrate.

 

[Wozza]

1990.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

1990 without hesitation.
