Tbf I didn't have high expectations for this world cup. But its delivered as one of the best I've ever seen. Forget the stuff off the pitch, if we're grading a world cup purely for the football itself it ranks up there with one of the best. First I've witnessed us being there aswell which unfortunately turned out to be a let down but some of the games I was on the edge of my seat for, especially in the latter stages. Some exciting upsets aswell. As a football fan I couldn't fault it at all. The last two WC tournaments have been excellent despite the host nation. Not sure if it's because I had little expectations for this but it's hit different. Tbf there hasn't really been any tournament I've not enjoyed, just seem to have enjoyed this one a bit more.

I am very much in the minority probably but the sight of Ronaldinho in full flow is something that I am yet to see. The guy was wow and if not for life style party choices would have been on top for more than 3 years. Maybe it was the hair or the tricks that were darn effective or maybe it'd the fact Kenyon screwed it all up for us, whichever the guy was dynamite.
You really have to take your hats off to the greats of the game, players that have made you dream.

Grew up watching him and he was just different gravy, the way the ball was just glued to his foot was insane. One of my all time favourite players.

Kenyon can never be forgiven for that treachery. Imagine the joy we would have had with him, sweet sweet football and i just think the way the crowd would have loved him he would have stayed put and enjoyed himself.

Difficult to compare greats across eras and and rank them. Zidnae for me definitely is in the discussion for top 5. When he is on the ground he runs the show. The way he came back from retirement and took an ageing France to the final was stuff of legends.
Zidane , original Ronaldo , Ronaldinho , Kaka .. all of them players of such sublime quality , not sure how i would rank them.

I see Aguero did his best John Terry impression on the pitch last night lifting the trophy in an Argentina kit.

Every last minute of Messi and Ronaldo’s careers have been captured on film. You can't say that about Pele, Eusebio, Puskas, Matthews, Best, Cryuff or even Maradona. The snippets you see of those guys is a miniscule piece of their part in the history of this sport. I can't say Messi is the greatest ever because I haven't seen all the greats.

It's often forgotten I feel how much of their careers were missed. A mate was talking about Best after he died and asked if he really was all that, as they always show the same handful of goals in any clips. I pointed out back then only a handful of games were caught on camera, now every single moment is. Might be wrong as years since I read his autobiography, but I think Best himself said his greatest ever goal was in a game without tv cameras so only the people there that day got to see it.

I see Aguero did his best John Terry impression on the pitch last night lifting the trophy in an Argentina kit. No longer funny the second he’s in on it. Aguero got too much shit for that. Blokes had a tough time health wise. Basically there as a fan, just buzzing his tits off to see his mates with a trophy. Nowt like Terry. If United won something and Cantona was dancing about in a current player’s shirt, I’d be loving it.

Speaking of dickheads that got in on the act. Here's another one. Famous for arguably the most pointless gimmick ever created. Can't stand this fucking moron. Just wish Licha would have butchered the fuck out of him.

I sat and watched this game again last night.
That missed chance at 120+3 is fucking criminal.
