Those were the fun years of football. Cameroon shocked the world. Beat Argentina and also beat England in the quarters but were denied by the referee.
Do you remember Valderrama of Colombia? Great underrated player. Legends have it that he never misplaced a pass on the pitch. Too bad Escobar had to be killed in Colombia for an own goal. That was the story that made the Colombian cartel become infamous across the globe.
Italia 90, USA 94 and France 98 would've to be the top 3 World Cups to me. But if I'm asked to do a Mt Rushmore, I would include Japan/Korea 2002 due to how Senegal shocked the world.
Schillaci, Roger Milla, Gascoigne and Maradona were the stars of Italia 90. Germany won it all as a team with Moller, Klinsman and Matthaus as the standout stars.
Hagi, Bebeto, Romario, Dahlin, Stoichkov and Baggio were the stars of USA 94.
France 98 had Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Denilson, Maldini, Zidane, Thuram, Valdez, Raul Gonzalez, Owen, Suker, and the Dutch boys (Bergkamp, Overmars, De Boer bros, Seedorf and Edgar Davids).
The Sengalese boys were the stars of Japan/Korea 2002.
Since then the football world cup hasn't been the same. The fun and excitement isn't what it used to be.
