2010  Slovakia - Italy  3-2  obviously :p

 

 

2006  Ecuador - Costa Rica  3-0

 

 

1990  Czechoslovakia - USA  5-1

 

 

2006  Poland - Ecuador  0-2

 

 

1990 Czechoslovakia - Costa Rica  4-1

 

 

 

 

looks like you're a big fan of Ecuador , actually they're always a cool team to watch they just play for scoring goals despite the team they're facing , btw Carlos Tenorio the one who scored 2 goals for them in QC 2006 had a real magnificent career in al Saad team in Qatar , i remember him very well from playing there

speaking about other games than final , i think that Belgium vs. Japan match in 2018 is very underrated much , for me that was definitely one of the best games ever i saw in the WC , Ghana vs. Uruguay in WC 2010 what a match and what a spirit between those 2 teams to reach a historical Semis and ofc that penalty missed in the 120th minute by the Penalties' specialist Asamoah Gyan made it such unforgettable match , i'd say also Brazil vs. Germany in 2014 OFC that was diffidently a match that'd be remembered for years , Brazil vs. England in 2002 WC QF IMO that was the best match of tournament and the true final of this WC and ofc Italy vs. Germany in 2006 WC Semis , maybe i can add to them Ghana vs. Czech Rebublic in 2006 WC Group Stage that was a hell of a big surprise , Ghana a team that's making their debut in the WC defeating one of the best teams in the world at this date and ofc Czech did a very entertaining Euro 2 years before and they deserved much better result than Semis , these're matches that i can really remember out of the 5 WCs i saw live

I’ve only ever watched two, so I’m going to with 2014 and 2018 :p

 

I watched some of South Africa 2010, but that was a few years before I really got into international sports. 2012/2013/2014 is when I really started getting invested in this stuff, so I can remember watching the entire 2014 tournament. I also watched most of the games from this years 2019 Women’s World Cup for the first time too.

 

My favorite game ever would be Brazil getting their ass kicked by Germany in 2014 :d

i chose Italy vs. France out of the 5 finals i saw because always having penalties in the final match of WC is something really interesting and it wasn't anyhow boring match at least better than this 2010 final which i can only remember this Iniesta's Goal and those 2 big chances missed by Robben :raspberry: , maybe 2014 was the best , but i thought that i already have a lot of matches that Germany involved in , so it'd be better to mention others as well :d for 2018 i really really liked this tournament it was the best for me out of those 5 i watched live , but unfortunately France ended things really early that match in the 1st 15 minutes of 2nd half 

2018 was pretty boring for me (not only because Germany got eliminated early), in my opinion 2006 was clearly better. It just doesn't feel right when none out of Germany/Spain/Argentina/Italy/Brazil makes the semifinal.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week
