Controversial World Cup moment that you remember: The Hand of God

Homer/biased opinions alert.

 

Favourite World Cup moment: United States "Dos a Cero" over Mexico in the 2022 Round of 16. Still hold it over our rivals because they can't argue we didn't beat them in our only matchup on the world's biggest stage. The runner-up would be Landon Donovan's 90th minute goal versus Algeria in 2010 to put the us through to the Round of 16.

Funniest World Cup moment: I could put it as shocking but when I remember people literally crying in the stands, I can't help but chuckle. I know, call me mean, but the 7-1 Germany over Brazil semifinal in 2014.

Worst World Cup moment: For one I didn't see because I wasn't born yet it has to be "Disgrace of Gijón" in 1982 group stage between West Germany and Austria, preventing Algeria's improbable advancement to the knockout rounds. For one I did see, the 1998 World Cup when the Americans completed their disappointing group stage by losing to Iran 1-0. I think revenge is on order this time around.

Shock of the World Cup: I still can't get over 2014's Group D, with World Cup champion nations Uruguay, England, and Italy, yet Costa Rica wins the group and knocks England and Italy right out.

Controversial World Cup moment that you remember: Robben's penalty versus Mexico in the Round of 16 of 2014, Mexico was robbed.

They changed the rules after 1982 in hope of preventing another Algeria situation but we came pretty close to seeing it again in 2018 with Japan. They were even trying to avoid yellow cards as it was so close between them and Senegal in the group it came down to disciplinary record!

Also in the discussion for worst moment for American fans. Literally seconds from getting a massive win versus Portugal and Ronaldo did this to us:
