I liked USA 94. The Dianna Ross blooper, Jack Charlton going mental, Maradonna scoring an incredible goal whilst coked up to the eyeballs, Americans not really knowing how big a deal the whole thing was, Roberto Baggio missing the penalty in the final after being arguably the best player in the tournament, it was never dull.

Anyway, "we're off to Dallas".

Fucking awesome world cup! Too bad I'll have to wait till maybe 2026 for the US to have another shot at hosting the world cup....I'll be 33 by then :( lol that Qatar WC doesn't make sense at all but oh well FIFA and it's crooks must have lots of money invested in that middle eastern oil ;) haha

Best World Cup ever... so beautifully layed out

@R3B0RNPR0PH3T Did he light it up? He and Italy played much more exciting football at Italia 90.

@markgbullen No shining stars? Roberto Baggio single handedly lit up the finals in the US, and it was somehow ironic he would miss a decisive penalty in the final. Cracking World Cup, far better than 2010's absolute farce, and will also be better than the debacle that will be Qatar.

I thought it was an excellent world cup. Worst world cup for me was south Africa 2010

@DJgaZman Big =/= good. USA'94 was a well-organised and executed tournament; but it just seemed too...detached from the source material, i.e. what was happening on the field. Not the worst World Cup, but not the best either.

Worst world cup I have seen. 1986 was the best, loved 1990 as well, just cos of England's performance and Gazza

Timely too, seeing as the Dallas season finale had aired a little over a year earlier. Of course, disapproval over the Qatar selection was more over it not making any sense-how is a country that hot and that small going to host a successful World Cup? Brace yourself, soccer fans; 2022 is going to be the biggest debacle in the history of FIFA sanctioned matches. The organization is going to lose all credibility they have, assuming they have any.

@markgbullen Crap stadiums huh? Rose Bowl - 103,000, Pontiac Silverdome, 73,000, RFK Stadium, Cotton Bowl, Giants Stadium, the largest average attendance of all time in immense NFL / NCAA stadia. Research these before posting another comment like that as you make yourself look a proper twat!

[markgbullen]

Shit world cup, no atmosphere around the matches, crap stadiums, real lack of quality all round, with no real shining stars like the previous world cup. started with a shit penalty, ended with a shit penalty.
