Poor old rubbish England. Nevermind... I continue with a countdown of my Top 10 Best World Cup Moments:
1. 1966 World Cup Final
Surely, from an English perspective, the best ever moment of the World Cup... well until four years time anyway!
2. BBC Best Goals of the World Cup
Basically filling in time before we get to the number one spot, this video includes some goals I haven't yet!
3. Michael Owen's Goal against Argentina
A brilliant goal from France '98.
4. 1990 Semi-Final- England v West Germany
This would have come higher up my top ten as certainly the best moment of the World Cup in my living memory, but I thought with Sunday's game looming it was best to show this now, rather than later.
I remember being emotionally shell-shocked for days after this and also started supporting Spurs from that moment on due to Gazza and Gary Lineker both playing for them!
5. Bergkamp goal
An amazing goal from Dennis Bergkamp in France '98.
6. 1986 Quarter Final
It was England v Argentina and within the game came two of the most famous moments in World Cup history
Maradona's "Hand of God" putting England 1-0 down.
Then one of the best individual goals of all time, again by Diego Maradona.
The thing is, after a deliberate handball should he have been on the pitch anymore?
Gary Lineker pulled one back but England were unable to equalise and were out of the tournament.
7. Hilarious and Ludicrous
In the 2002 World Cup Rivaldo did this...
So awful it's quite funny.
8. Red Cards
From the sublime to the ridiculous Beckham and Rooney's red cards aren't exactly good moments from the World Cup- but will certainly live long in the memory.
In 1998 Beckham sees red.
In 2006 so does Rooney. Please don't do it again!
9. Beckham Free kicks
Beckham scores to see us qualify for the 2002 World Cup finals.
Beckham scores again to get us through the last 16 stage of the 2006 World Cup
10. Amazing Cameroon Miss-Tackle
Brilliant that his boot flies off!
