    Not the first World Cup I can remember (that was Mexico 86), but the first one I actively watched and when I basically fell in love with the game. So many great players, Matthäus, Klinsmann, Gullit, Lineker, Barnes, Gascoigne, Maradona, Schillaci, and lots of classic moments like that incredible semi between Germany and England. Maybe not objectively the best WC in terms of overall quality of play, but still my favourite World Cup to date.

      Editing … I don't remember that much about it really, only the big moments, Gascoigne crying, Platts Belgium goal, Millas dancing celebration etc.

      Editing … I remember it quite well, especially the semi and the final. I'd missed the first half of England v Germany because I was on the train but the driver kept the passengers updated through the tannoy - when I got home I immediately rushed to the telly to watch the rest. During the final Hamburg was like a ghost town, presumably because everyone was at home watching the game, but after Germany won there were spontaneous street parties all over the place. It was mental.
