1986..
Remember my elder brother excitedly discussing the matches and Maradona..
Never really paid attention till the final..
I remember the finals like yesterday, probably more than any other finals..

We have many kids here on nairaland, yet they’re so insulting to their older ones. See kids everywhere.... Hmmm

Started with Spain '82. Remembered the likes of Paolo Rossi, Rumeniger, Nkono, Roger Miller and the others. It was eventually won by Italy. My dad really loved football and I remembered him celebrating when Algeria won Germany. That was the first African win in any world cup

How can you mention all these names without mentioning Dino Zoff?

I briefly watched Korea Japan 2002 but have faint memories about it. Only thing I remember is the final between Germany and Brazil where delima Ronaldo scored two wonderful goals against Oliver Khan.

That's the first world cup I think I remember.

Since 1998

Uruguay 1930. I watched my first world cup match on the 13th of July 1930 between France vs Mexico which the French(Les blues) won the Mexicans 4-1.

Go and verify.

2010

In 1998 the way I hated football ehn!


My dad would just Occupy TV time with his colleagues watching the world cup everyday and even after the match, they will just be there gisting and laughing hard

Omo! The 1 month it was played seemed like 2 years for me.

Italia 90, i didn't even know it was a world cup because i was very young, i still remember cameroonian makanaki's funny dance at the corner flag after scoring a goal.

USA94 i knew it was a world cup because the whole village gather in our house to watch Nigeria vs Greece and Nigeria vs Italy which Nigeria lost. The only two matches i watch in that world cup.

France 98, was when i begin to pay serious attention to world cup because i don dey get small bear bear and don dey look woman with great interest but cannot toast.

Lukuluku69:


Started Argentina 1978 but my first proper World Cup was Espana 1982. I still remember the amatches like it was yesterday and the star players too.

Paolo Rossi comes to mind.

US 94, though l did not watch many games because of the time of the matches.

Kenneth Anderson and Swedish team, Stoichkov and leskov (his offside made them disqualified Stoichkov's free kick goal against Nigeria), our then dazzling super eagles (Italy sweat plus ojoro before dey could defeat us) and Fine boy George Campus of Mexico got my keen interest in the tornament.

I can still remember the solo goal from defense by a Saudi Arabian player against Belgium (l think was the goal of the tormanent).

Mexico '86

JentuPrinz:
Korea/Japan
I no fit forget d final

First time I knew Ronaldinho was in the 2002 finals.

Omo! That guy was just doing his normal ronaldinhoing to German players like tomorrow no dey, then he would carelessly loose the ball and will start laughing.

That guy has been my G.O.A.T since 2002 till today.

That guy is just in a league of his own. To me he is unparalleled.

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira aka Ronaldinho Gaúcho (The Living Legend)

Respect to Messi too, one of the World Greats

Korea/Japan 2002

I remember Nigerians missing church on that fateful Sunday we lost to Gabriel Bastitutas header and Argentina.

I also remember how Germany mauled Saudi Arabia 8-0.
