So we can all agree that this was the best world cup?

The 00s was pretty much the leas creative decade when it comes to designing world cup logos

This. 2018 beats every world cup since 98 for me.

Yes. So so much

Are you a croat by any chance?

The mid 2000s is overrated as all fuck talent wise, very few legends and a bunch of above average talents being praised far too much.

You only say it because you team get 4 place. Its literally worst WC I seen France incrideble plays more boring than Italia 06, Croatia probably weakest finalist in history, only reach final because the draw is so weak, also need penalties against the powerhouses of Russia and Denmark and only wins you mediocre team.

The level of football was incredibly defensive and mind-numbing, the only entertaining part of the entire tournament, sports-wise, was the overtime of Italy-Germany.
>inb4 muh learn to appreciate good defense
Thing is, national team football is never "good defense", because these players don't train and play together nearly enough to become properly defensively structured. "Good defense" for a national team is just bus parking. And this entire tournament was 63 games of busparking.

They did beat England and Argentina to get there. Sure, in terms of being "elite", those two are barely better than Denmark and Russia, but I think there are finalists with easier roads. Like Germany 2002, for instance.

Palla tagliata, messa fuori, c’è Pirlo, Pirlo, Pirlo ancora Pirlo di tacco… tiro… GOOOOOOOL! GOOOOOOOL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! GROSSOOOO! GROSSOOOO! GOOOOOOOOOL! GOL DI GROSSO! GOL DI GROSSO!

Yeah, those poor bastards actually had to play the game.

Yeah what a squad. They didn't make it work but on paper it was fantasy samba football perfect for my 12 year old self. This team is what made me start loving soccer as an Aussie kid growing up. Player like Ronaldinho, kaka, and robinho are perfect for kids with all of the skills and tricks they used when playing. I'm white but I had a friend who looked a little like ronaldinho only not as ugly. Same skin tone and he copied his long hairstyle. He was also very good at tricks - could do 100+ juggles at 12 years old, around the world ect and his inspiration was Ronaldinho. Kaka was my personal favourite player. I remember when we each purchased a Brazil jersey at a sports shop. I didn't wear mine much but my friend who looked like Ronaldinho wore it all the time and was known in the neighbourhood as Ronaldinho. He wasn't the best outfield soccer player as he was too frail for one and didn't understand the tactics of the game at all, but he was pretty good at on the spot freestyle. Honestly had it not been for this 2006 Brazil team I would probably have never liked soccer coming from Australia and would prob be watching AFL or cricket right now.

1954 was the best World Cup

THANK YOU, BASED WOJYTEK LEWANDOWSKI

I blame the internet and smartphones

WC was always a big thing, but you might be kinda right, Luigi. Popularity ruins everything.

Daily reminder that we were robbed.

At least you scored most kino WC goal ever 4 years later.

Maybe 18 over 10, I'm sort of biased because it was a mad ride for us in 10.

I've attended all World Cups since 1998 and Germany 2006 takes the cake as the most well organized and best event in footballing history. The matches were shit, but that's not something the Germans can be blamed for. FIFA should hand them the Cup for good.

based ordnung

yeah, if ausfailia shockerpoos can make it out of the group, it's a low quality tournament.

It's called the world cup not Germany cup

That wasnt any ordinary Australian team tho. That's prob the best Aussie team we will ever see. 2006 Australia was a good as Switzerland of today who are ranked in the too ten of the fifa rankings.

2006-2014 were based. 2018 was cringe to the max

For me 2002-2008 where the golden years.

I would say 2014 was better, 2006 had too much diving and was a repeat of the 04 Euro only with Italy as the Mediterranean champion.

For me, it was Dario G.

Best WC song.

based wops winning in penalties

and zidane, i just can't ...

2018 was horrible, you need >us and Italy to make it exciting

Ricky Martin one was awesome too

Group stage was good, playoffs were terrible.

France-Argentina and any knockout match with Belgium are in the running for the greatest WC matches of all time.

zidane's last world cup , then yes.

Yeah I was too young for 98, I was only 4 yo.

>losing to Argentina on penalties
I'm glad I was a dumb baby back then, it would hurt to remember the last time our team had a chance of winning.

98, 2018, and 2014
the 2006 final was great entertainment though
2010 was shit

Based Aussie, I too loved 06 very much. Even the match ball was kino as fuck and has been the last great ball in World Cups.

Great players and great goals. Here's a webm I made a while back that has been reposted by anons thru the years.

Zoomer opinion:
I was only 7 during the 2006 WC but from my memory of the last three WCs, it goes
2014>2018>2010
2010 was so fucking shit, only kino match was Ghana Urgay and watching Germany demolish Maradona's Argentina. Upset I never got to see the USA go on that nice run in 2002 though

2010 had the french implosion, germany btfoing "THE GOLDEN GENERATION" and A GOAL FOR ALL OF AFRICA!, but yeah, it was still nowhere near as kino as the last two

Thanks m8
Legendary gif.

feel like going back and watching the world cup official films desu

Fucking Pirlo.
He really was a goat.

the quality of the teams in 2018 outside of france was pretty fucking bad tho

I still have that as well, it did fly pretty good.

remember "o quadrado magico"
Parreira lied to us all

At least we will not have to deal with Arjen robben the dutch diver anymore.

2018 was easily the worst in the last 20 years.
better than 2010.
The form of literally almost every single team was off.
the US, Italy, Holland, Chile all weren't in it.
and for the first time ever the best team in the world didn't win the cup (spain)

CHI

basically correct yeah

sorry, worse than 2010*

Was the first WC I had a good memory of. 02 I have flashes of tho.

I'm proud our officials bribed these FIFA fucks to bring the world cup to a decent country. I don't understand why they were slaughtered by the media for this heroic act.
