I think it was the peak of international football.
1978 is my favourite World Cup, first one I remember and the ticker tape, theme tunes and great players are etched on my brain forever. Even the stadium names. 1982 was brilliant because Northern Ireland were in it and did really well. 86 was meh, and 1990 was superb. Great time to be alive in general. But it’ all went a bit downhill after that. Thankfully, United won a few cups in the decades that followed. Which was nice. |

Lots of nostalgia, some drama, but objectively it was an awful tournament.
Lowest goals per game of any World Cup. The worst final ever. Penalty shoot outs all over the shop. Ireland got to the quarters without winning a game. Schillaci was the top scorer ffs - scored 6 goals. He scored 7 goals in his entire international career. Poor, poor World Cup. |

86 was mad fun, what the £#%&!? Was also the first one I saw much of, 82 I was a bit young and the time difference wasn't conducive. Italy 90 was great culturally but a lot of the actual matches were pretty gruelling fare. Will definitely watch this programme though.
The worst world cup is the one coming up, obviously. |

This... the vibe was £#%&!ing top, and created some cult heroes (milla, schillaci), but the quality of the football was shit on a stick but it really did kick off the best decade of football, literally and figuratively |
