jazza Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I have watched all the World Cups since 1974 and for me this has been the best ever excitement wise. I haven't missed many games and am gutted that the tournament is nearly finished. I know England were disappointing but not as bad as Scotland.. we didn't make it. Did you still enjoy the tournament? 2 games I particularly enjoyed were Mexico v Argentina and Germany v Italy.. edge of the seat stuff. The ko times helped and with South Africa being ony 2 hours different to us 2010 should be just as good. Here's hoping [-o< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledwhite2 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 86 and 90 will always be the golden era to me. This has been good but has lacked something - probably a decent England performance - to make it special. Germany - Italy was an amazing if goal-less 90 minutes, they really went for it, it was a great clash of styles. I thought Podolski was just not quite good enough on the night to unlock the Italian defence. But I think overall we've lacked a defining game, hopefully it will come tomorrow night. Good to see the German rehabilitation too I think, on and off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolwhite Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Italia 90 ,probably the best team we have had since 66 and we did come 4th.worst usa 94 cheating was at it's worst and barely a memorable game,the only bright spark being Mcateer playing for ireland. I thought the group games of this years tournament have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I thought it started well.but when we got down to the last 16 it kinda went tits up - too many cheating cnuts. I can only think of 2 or 3 great games out of 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 far from it. 1982 by far. had everything. upsets, controversy, great Brazilian goals. nothing comes close to Espana 82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 This world cup may not have been the best football wise,but the organisation,stadiums,and attendances are probably the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andybwfc Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 For me its this tournament. The build up, the packed crowds, some great matches, some cock ups, edge of the seat stuff although some of the latter games have not been up to expetations........I have never enjoyed a tournament as much as this one..... I particularly enjoyed the Italy v USA game for all it's controversy and drama! The downside was the Rooney v Ronaldo incident and I just can't get the fukkker 'winking' at the bench out of my mind as though to say 'job done'....

Guest Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 apart from a few matches i think its been a average world cup, apart from the fans who have been brilliant, brazil, czech republic,spain,holland and even england where big let downs for me, for england i blame sven the man for not picking the right players, this was probably there best and only chance of getting to the final. the best team i thought was germany. oh well never mind premiership will be starting soon.

Zozzy Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 You usually end up judging world cups by how England perform, but if you look at it altogether this has been a brilliant world cup, I have really enjoyed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
