Worst World Cup of All Time…

[Thurston]

Help settle an argument.

What in your view was the worst World Cup ever?

Personally I’m going 2010, 1994, and I was surprisingly unenthusiastic about 2006 too. Seemed a come down after 2002, which was a banger.

2010 South Africa was a shocker

 

[The Continuing Story]

South Africa with them fuckin vuvuzelas. And the new balls that were shite. It was unbearable

 

[forzamilansafc]

They've all been shit since 2006.

2002 was the best, must've been brilliant for those who travelled

Totally. Vuvuzeuelas and the Dutch, who were historically a joy to watch playing anti-football was haunting.

1990 football was shit

The last 3 have been dogshit. Last one possibly worse than 2010

 

[sun gets in my eyes]

2010, no contest. That awful f**king drone.

 

[Lester Ballard]

2010, SA. Not the best but also had those horrific Vuvuzela’s which rendered each match unlistenable.

Just seen this, late to the party from me as always

 

[SupperandCruncher]

I thought 1994 was awful.
Diana Ross missed a penalty and it was down hill from there.

Best World Cup I’ve seen for overall quality players who all seemed to be around their prime, and a ridiculously high standard of football. Was unreal. Would’ve loved to have been there.

 

[The Onion Bag]

1942 word cup that was cancelled, on account of the war.

1946 should have been the best on account of the war ending, but it didn't happen either.

 

[Whey]

Can only comment on ones I was alive to see so saying all time might be a stretch. 2010 was a bit of a dullard. The last one was a shit show but we all know why.

Nice symmetry between Diana Ross missing one at the start, and Baggio missing one to finish it though.

 

[Maravilla]

Another vote for 2010.

Before my time but a lot of people seem to reckon that 1990 was down there amongst the worst in terms of the quality of football, albeit it’s remembered with huge fondness over here for obvious reasons.

Final wise Germany v Italy 1990 worst game I’ve ever seen

Yeah, didn’t particularly enjoy the last one either, but part of me put that down to generally falling more and more out of love with football (but apparently not so much that I won’t spend a Friday night on the SMB talking about it).

1990 one of the best

I was only a pup, so don’t have strong recollections. Worse than the 2010 final?

 

[Two million voices]

1994 was a cracking World Cup apart from the final. 2010 I don’t look back on fondly.
