|
A look back at the Greatest sporting event in the world.
First World Cup was 1930, Uruguay won it.
England entered the World Cup finals in 1950.
Germany has hosted 3 times
Italy and France 2 times
Will be interesting to see who gets the 2030 tournament (100 year anniversary)
Best team to feature: Brazil’s 1970 team
Best one match performance: Geoff Hursts hat trick in the 1966 final. (Only hat trick in the final)
Best final other than 1966: Argentina V Holland 1978
Best team not to win it: Holland’s 1974 team
Game to remember: Brazil V Italy (even though Rossi’s hat trick gave the Italians the win, it was a great game.)
Best World Cup: Mexico 1970
Best save: Gordon Banks
Best goal: Arie Haan Holland V Italy
Most controversial moment: Hand of god.
Best goalkeeper: Banks or Zhoff
Best player: Maradonna
Brazil has won it 5 times, Italy and Germany 4.
Brazil last won in 2002.
Italy won it twice in the 1930’s (34 and 38.)
Some great memories over the years, what stands out to you?

A great sporting event for sure but South Africa 2010 has to be the worst!
England were shit and crashed out, Rooney slagging the fans, Frank wanting more respect from them! those vuvuzela horn things and the racket they made at every fucking game, even watching on TV it was non stop, think FIFA have banned them now?
The final was a bore fest, Spain won in Extra Time 1-0

Obviously I'm going to argue the Brazil side of 82 with Zico, Eder, Socrates etc was one of the best to not win it, certainly as an attacking sense. I'm actually surprised that Cameroon never really kicked on after 1990, they had some power and probably needed a top manager.

Violator I agree, the Dutch side with Gullet and Van Basten were pretty good too.
One thing that stands out over recent years is some of the African teams, there’s been some good teams and some great games involving the African teams. One of these years an African Nation is gonna surprise us.

Can't really argue with the best team not to win it, but the French side in 1986 wasn't far off

I want lose any sleep over it, I assure you.

Nutcracker. The facts are vaguely interesting, your opinion is worthless

Best dummy: Jack Warner promised England his vote the WC and swerved towards Russia for a bundle of roubles, leaving England on their arse, crying foul.

It is crazy - and no little bent - that there will be people who will live out the usual life expectancy in this county and yet not have witness a world cup staged here.
Cheers Fifa.

Even though he didn't score, Pele's dummy against Uruguay was an outrageous piece of skill
