>Final game

Good memories. I remember the class spastic getting suspended because he headbutted another student in the same way Zidane headbutted Materazzi.

t'was a great team

Brazil was stacked too

>2018
>No italy
What went wrong?

this is actually my first major fotball memory
I remember being in Greece for the holidays and watching the games on a big cinema screen in the hotel with my father

people watching this game on the streets man, it was insane
Argentina was literally Italy for one day

that was last World Cup that I was watching with my m8's u know with my lads with my dudes

good teims

>imagine being a washed up manager
>haven't done shit 94
>your corrupt friends at CBF doesn't care and still call you up for a second term
>you're given the opportunity to have prime ronaldinho, prime adriano, prime kaka and ronaldo w/ still gas on his tank
>manage to achieve a 40% drawn rate in the qualification
>get exposed in the WC
*fast forward years*
>your corrupt friends at cbf STILL DOESN'T care and call you up to be the assistant manager to an even bigger washed up hack, felipão
>felipão haven't done shit since 2002, managed to almost not qualify to the world cup with that team, and got incredible lucky that ronaldo went god mode
>before felipão was called by CBF he almost got one of our biggest clubs relegated
>but fuck it, this is CBF... THEY DON'T FUCKING CARE

Before calling up Tite to be the manager, they to reinstall Dunga, the former player w/ 0 manager experience besides fucking up with the seleção in 2010 as his first ever job...
and Sup Forums still thinks we are mad about the 7-1, honestly it was a blessing, because w/o the 7-1 CBF would have never called up a competent manager (Tite), as I said they had the guts to call back Dunga after the 7-1, but it was too much, this time they didn't got away with having one of their puppets as manager to the world cup

iktf
now i'm 29 and jaded as fuck
having the WC in your country was really fun ;_;

The funny thing is that is was 12 years ago today that it started.

>2006
>have my first gf and almost lose my virginity to her
>2018
>still a virgin
Where did I go wrong?

solid world cup
owen hargreaves DESTROYING the critics who hated on him because he played in the bundesliga by being england's best player

I remember it was the last time I wasted money getting all the stickers for the panini album.

>2018
>no /wc/ USA shitposting

This makes me sad

I unironically thought England would bring it home

c'mon, just use this and join us

Italy should have won in 1994
Brazil should have won in 1998
England should have won in 2002
France should have won in 2006

...

So in the end Brazil took one WC from England?

>England should have won in 2002
lmao

>there is an alternative reality with England v USA in the final of 2002

Germany should have won in 1966
England should have won in 1986
Argentina should have won in 1990

No ficki ficki, Achmed?
