Right then folks… what is your earliest World Cup memory? Mine is probably Lampard’s ‘goal’ vs Germany in 2010. Still can’t believe it wasn’t given 🫣

Beckham’s free kick vs 🇪🇨 in 06! https://youtu.be/PM79nfZr30I?is=l1yvuRGt5wz6jfBb

Mexico 1970. World Cup holders England up 2-0 in the QF v West Germany. Manager Alf Ramsey takes Bobby Charlton off (his last game for his country), and we lose 3-2. It’s been much the same every since.

Some vague memories of 98 especially Owen’s goal vs Argentina. Otherwise 02 was a great tournament, Beckham’s pen probably the first standout moment. Terrible penalty but a great moment https://youtu.be/bVUtpySic8s?si=0PN6DWFq5uMI_c9g

Think mine is the Beckham penalty vs Argentina. Watching it back, what an abysmal penalty it was

Vaguely remember some of 94. Diana Ross missing that pen and heartbreak for Baggio.
