Is this the greatest world Cup...

Bit of a cliche but a world cup without Italy isn't a proper world cup.

Narey’s goal against brazil in 82 though - thinking that Scotland were actually going to beat Brazil. That thought lasted 15 mins

Alan Rough in goal after that chip

The nets alone make that a superior WC tbh.

2018 was actually pretty decent IMO.

It's not even the best world cup of the last 10 years ffs.

I've hardly watched any of it as quite frankly the whole thing is just preposterous.

A world cup that was fraudulently won by a country where there was absolutely no existing infrastructure to hold such tournament of such size and you couldn't even play it in the summer because it's so ridiculously hot. A country the size of £#%&!ing birmingham where they're having to put people up in tents for £200 a night because there's not enough hotels.

It's a £#%&!ing sham. The whole thing. Aside from when the moroccans turned up every match has been played out in an atmosphere akin to a pre season tournament. Personally i think it would be better if the whole thing was just forgotten about after this and written off as a sad result of FIFA's blatant corruption.

be some ending to this, which ever way.

Unsure why some haven't got into it. Great ko times, cans, armchair warmth whilst outside goes through shades of siberia

Infantino says it is, no more comment needed

It's certainly been one of the best. A lot of people are shitting on it because the rainbows said so.

And they are totally right to do so, but troglodytes like you will never see why that is.

He's bungled this post a bit. Need to zippy it.

Yes. Yes it is. Sorry 82 and 86.

Best final.

Easily the best final ever

Hell of a final, rest of it run of the mill in the main.

Was a brilliant tournament and a brilliant spectacle for me as it’s the first one I’ve ever been to. Was is the best ever? Who’s to say but most probably not but certainly not the wash out everyone thought/hoped it would be.

Fair play to Qatar for what they delivered. Lots of teething problems as expected but the stadiums were out of this world and the atmosphere in Qatar was amazing.

Bit sad it’s over actually, roll on United.

Course you could it was pretty much everywhere until you got close to the stadium. Like I say the stadiums were unreal but the best atmospheres were in the fan zones around Doha, really well set up.
