I'd make the threads for the semi finals now if I were you @ Pete/Mack!

Of the World Cups I've seen and remembered this has got to be the best! My ranking would be:

2018
2014 (the best group stages but knockout rounds were a step down, 7-1 beside)
2010 (started terribly, but got better as it went on. Plus, England were so bad it was funny)
2002 (almost too many shock results, but the group stages were very exciting)
2006 (not bad, but not too much to remember - shame, as this was the first one I religiously followed)

This has had great goals, upsets, great games (Portugal Spain, France Argentina, Brazil Belgium), barely any 0-0s and England doing well for a change.

2010 was definitely my least favourite by far. The KOs were almost all absolutely turgid - Spain boring the world to death with their pointless tiki taka nonsense. It had that one really good Semi Final between Uruguay & Netherlands but everything else was not worth watching, the only memorable event from that entire World Cup for me was the Suarez handball.

2010 will always be the World Cup I love and remember since it was the first one I was really into (I do remember 2006 but only really followed the England games), plus I randomly supported Uruguay who got miles further than I expected them to.

Just wanted to say this has been a really enjoyable tournament to follow, and I take everything back I said about VAR early on. I am also really impressed with how much England exceeded expectations - a summer that will live long in the memory, and not just for the fantastic weather! : )
