Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 First WC tournament I can remember. Had the VHS with all the goals, used to play out in the back garden pretending to be Batistuta, Laudrup and Zamorano. My favourite ever tournament, probably a lot down to nostalgia, but also some fantastic footballers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Ortega. Davor Suker. Salas. Baggio. Chilavert. Some genuine, some cult. Heros in my eyes none the less. Especially those bleach blonde haired Romanians. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one I really remember. I do remember some from 90 but was only 7. Stoichkov vs Germany. He knew it was in the second it left his foot and was celebrating before the keeper even saw it!

SIRB_72 4,000 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 France 98 was the first tournament I can vaguely remember. I do remember supporting Brazil against Scotland because I loved Ronaldo! Love watching back all those goals. Some great teams and players. Euro 2000 was a great tournament too. I think it all depends on what era you got into football.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Took me right back to my childhood with this thread. First world cup I can remember and the first football tournament got properly engrossed in. I watched bits of Euro 96 but France 98 was mesmerising as a 10 year old boy.
