Don’t really remember 90 but started my reasoning to support spurs with gascoigne and lineker being the star players.

94, we obviously didn’t qualify and with the late kick off times plus football not being as wall to wall coverage as it is now, passed me by.

1998 was the first one I really remember aged 15. Going mental when Campbell scored only to find it’s disallowed once everyone settled down.

Loved 2002, early starts in the bars and all day sessions. That’s the one we should have won. The last 4 was Brazil, Germany, Korea and turkey. The winner of our quarter final was always going to win it and losing to 10 men after taking the lead was a shocker.
 
On the day that Iraqs star striker is interrogated by ICE for 7 hours on arrival in the US and Iran's squad have to stay in Mexico and commute to their 3 group games in the US, this seemed appropriate....

So ...seems the US customs has overruled a previously agreed Diplomatic Visa for the FIFA nominated Somali referee (allegedly one of their highest ranked officials anywhere in the world) and refused him entry and sent him back to Istanbul.
Left hand... right hand.... This whole WC has been made to be a complete ****ing shambles. If it's not the corruption, the overpricing or the ridiculous conditions (heat/altitude etc) then it's Trumps ****ing Administration... <doh>

The 1936 Olympics didn't have people getting deported left and right

I don't understand why a bigger fuss is not being made by the barring of the Somali ref. They promised not to do this, but went ahead anyway. Should be at least a FIFA protest.
