jihday: I am also expecting a brilliant 2018 World Cup. My eyes are on Pogba, Greizmann, Messi, Kevin De Bruyne, Lukaku, Kroos, Marcelo, Gabriel Jesus (I feel he might come of age in this tournament), Neymar has to make a big statement if he would align among the stars of the game, David Silva needs to go out with a bang and many more. I want Fireworks. |

Ah memories was 1989 I really started following and enjoying football Saudi 89, okwaraji ![]() Italia 90 was my first world cup. Cameroon and Germany to some extent made a very poor world cup bearable to watch. I agree France 98 was the best. Great goals, fantastic football, lovely skills great tournament all round. What made it more enjoyable was that all the hyped world class players came to the party and performed well. Hope Russia turns out to be exciting and not a borefest 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: To add to the Brazil vs Holland game which had the Kluivert brilliant equalizing header. Ronald de Boer played on the right wing and he was up against the second best player in the World, Roberto Carlos. When Ronald went against Carlos, we saw one of the greatest decimation of a wing back. Ronald de Boer skinned and dribbled Roberto Carlos repeatedly and put in repeated crosses to Kluivert that it became embarrassing. Towards the end, the Brazilian coach, Mario Zagallo decided to alter things to kill two birds with a stone. One was to save their one goal lead and another, stop the repeated embarrassment of Roberto Carlos by Ronald. He advised Carlos to forget about marking Ronald de Boer and go to the post to defend Kluivert's deadly headers. Carlos obeyed but it became a big mistake. With Ronald de Boer having room to pick his cross without having to skin Carlos first, he crossed a brilliant, accurate cross to Kluivert who buried the ball in between the legs of the same Roberto Carlos. That goal sent thrills all over the World. |

chrisooblog: Wow. I agree with you here. The stars lived up to their hypes. From Ronaldo, Vieri, Edgar Davids, Seedorf, Zidane, Suker, Okocha, Ikpeba, Oliseh, Oruma, Michael Laudrup, Shearer, Owen etc. Those names that were song, both locally and international had stunning moments. I even remember that Raul's goal against us. Brilliantly taken and was a stamp of his class. I remember the young Thierry Henry and Trezeguet getting their nods and still delivering. Although Roberto Carlos not scoring a screaming free kick and Del Piero failing to score marred some of the expected thrill. Brilliant and interesting point. |

asha80: Just Maybe. But you know Finidi was at his prime then? When T. J finally broke into the team he was not a starter. Finidi was. Some how the coaches later assigned Finidi an SS role. And that was how both wingers were accommodated. I remember how Bonfere finished South Africa by starting T. J on the left while Finidi played from the Right Wing. 1 Like |

the first world cup I ever watched in full was the korea/Japan world cup... in that tournament after the exit of nigeria....Italy became myfavorite team.. I watched how Del Pedro...equalised for Italy against Mexico...he came up from the bench... In that tournament...my excitement was to watch the likes of del Pedro play being the highest paid world player then and figo was the world best.... the Nigeria goal...against Sweden caused jubilation in school then...I was still in primary school then... everyone shouted and was so excited only for my class teacher to report to us we lost the match afterwards.....I was sad all through that day. prior the Nigeria match against England...I severally asked my senior cousins and many other senior football lovers...on the possibility of nigeria still making the round of 16.... my cousin told me even should we beat the English team 100 nil we won't qualify... I was so sad....all through. I had to start root for Italy... the Koreans were the cheats of that tournament.... only God knows how they made it to the semi-finals.... they defeated the Italians with the golden goal rule.... and beat the Spaniards in penalties...with goals from Spain disallowed during the hour mark for off sides.... Senegal almost made the quarter final..by beating turkey if not for selflessness ib the part of the players.... they played Turkey to a stand still that day...even had goals disallowed.... prior to Turkish last minute goal.... that tourney was Turkey first world cup...and only world cup they have qualified for.... I still remember ronaldiho goal against England...which topped the head of English goalkeeper seaman... former arsenal and man city goal keeper.... I remember the spree of goals Uruguay and Senegal game which ended 3 all draw... Senegal was a beast team in that tourney.... I remember the whopping of Saudi Arabia by the German team 8 nil first time I got to know of players like klose and ballack... afterwards cameroon manage win the Saudi's by 1 nil courtesy of Samuel eto goal.... that tourney was one I will never forget... the majestic stadiums and buildings in the cities of Japan and south Korea were second to none.... I rememeber the fastest goal was scored by the Turkish captain 11 seconds against south Korea I have forgotten his name...though i still remember Hassan sas. I still remember that world cup signed my interest in football... 1 Like |

elyte89: I was sixteen during the 98 World Cup. I watched almost all the matches of that tournament and followed analysis in the local and National stations. The fever pitch of France 98 was insane. What I am talking about is not replays. The memories of that tournament is still fresh in my mind like I watched it yesterday. |
