I thought I would forgo Italy '90 because let's face it, who is going to vote for ITV over BBC's usage of Nessun Dorma?

 

This time around we have

I suppose the BBC one is better, by virtue of the fact the ITV one is a monstrosity. Not that I can remember either, mind, but I do recall the BBC `98 one very fondly

Gloryland is the one I associated with the 94 World Cup in my mind even though I probably haven't heard it since 1994.   I guess the instrumental of America the BBC chose is just such a famous song they couldn't really tie it to the world cup.

The USA WC really passed me by as I couldn't get my head around staging the World's greatest footie tournament in a non-footie country.

 

As you will deduce, I am really looking forward to Russia and Qatar...

That world cup passed a lot of residents of England by, for the simple fact that England were not there. It was actually a great tournament, probably a higher standard of football then 1990, but no one ever raves about it in England for the aforementioned reasons. 

 

Did you watch South Africa 2010?

A bit, but not much.

But then I doubt whether I'll watch much of this one, despite the location.

World Cup tournaments used to have the fascination of the unknown. Now you just end up watching Chelsea/Arsenal/Manure/Liverpool tossers that you despise on a weekly basis anyway.
