I remember watching the build up for the fourth when Pele appears to lay it off to no-one and thinking "who's that to Pele you knacker ?"
What??1990 was the best WC
That's a metaphor for life
Without doubt the best. We were the reigning Champions and had a decent team, Banks making that save, Bobby Moore shoplifting, Pele and that brilliant Brazilian side. It really had me falling in love with the game.

1990 was so bad and so negative it's what made FIFA change the back-pass rule, to speed the game up.
Which is pretty much the last thing that FIFA got right.
Lucky little bobble helped it sit up nicely for him.Up come's Carlos Alberto on the right..........Smash, sitting in the corner of the net!
Totally the best ever to watch.just missed out on the 66 WC wish I'd been older to have watchedObviously the greatest world cup ever. No one will argue about that. Was wondering what memories lads and lasses on here who watched this tournament as a youngun had of it?
Was living in Edinburgh at the time. Colour telly had just come out and my mate Alan smith (wonder where he is now?) sat and watched it way after midnight IIRC for some of the group games. england, arguably, had a better team than in 1966 and what a final Brazil v Us would have made.
given that the tournament had just 16 teams it made for a very high quality tournament. Remember some of the players on display: Belgium - Van himst (class act), Russia - shesternev (great footballer), brazil (all class - pick one), england - world champions - moore, brilliant, banks worlds best goalie, Peru - cubillas and chumpitaz, Uruguay - Ladislao Mazurkiewicz (arguably on a par with Banks), I could go on. Not even mentioned the Italians with Riva, Facchetti, Rivera, Mazzola, Germany with muller, Seeler and co.
Unsurpassable as regards quality of footballer. Wont be repeated.
It produced of course the best world cup final ever. Sat watching it as a youngun mesmerised at the players on display and the quality of the football. no disgrace for Italy to be beaten by the greatest football team ever.
Magic.
No diving, no gamesmanship, no talk of inflated contracts. no sky telly videos of average footballers being portrayed as the greatest ever. no FIFA 2015 shite or owt like that. clearly the likes of Messi looks average when compared to some of these lads. Messi and roney (spelling) might have made the subs bench for Israel or some one like that.
Remember watching the highlights show every morning before running to school. It finished at summit like three mins to nine and me and half the school would tear out of their houses and sprint to school and still be there for nine! Kids charging along every street,twas like summit from a scifi fillum. I cant even get up off the sofa quickly now ffs.
I loved Tostao and Facchetti. The Uruquayans were the only squad I managed to complete in my Mexico70 sticker book.....had a soft spot for the cheating dirty dodgy bastards ever since. The official fillums a bit weird but they were simpler times......or so we thought.
Best WC ever.
Naaah. No one who saw both would agree.
Don't forget BonettiRemember Ramsey taking Bobby Charlton off when we were leading. Allowed Beckinbauer to push forward and you know the rest
IIRC Banksie went down with a stomach bug or summat before the game.Don't forget Bonetti
Remember Zico at the 1982 one if that helpsObviously the greatest world cup ever. No one will argue about that. Was wondering what memories lads and lasses on here who watched this tournament as a youngun had of it?

Remember watching the 66 semi final against Portugal (and Eusabio) at my auntie's house cos she was the only one with a color tele. night game and a great pair of Bobby Charlton goals to see us through 2-1
IIRC Banksie went down with a stomach bug or summat before the game.
Your Auntie mustve been as posh as owt marra. We didnt get a colour telly until late April 1973...............then me da got a ticket and he wanted to send it back!!!
Brazil rode their luck at times in group games also v Uruguay cos they were so attack minded. Great world cup.The one negative about the 70 World Cup was that everyone knew Brazil would win. The question was who would they slaughter in the final?
