My favourite world cup. No England so no stress. Had just finished my first year at university but we stayed on for a couple of weeks. Nothing to do all day but drink beer and watch football.

Italia '90 was my favourite ever world cup - as a 13 year old, I skived off school and watched every single televised game of that tournament.
For alcohol involvement, it would have to be France '98 as I was just finishing my 2nd year at Uni and we had constant all dayers watching game after game. Having said that, I missed the bloody final because I was stuck on a National Express coach from Huddersfield to Milton Keynes!

How strange.
A World Cup barely exists if England aren't there.
The only thing that I remember from that World Cup is a boiling hot Jack Charlton having a right old rant at someone.
Mad dogs and Englishmen out in the midday sun.

He wanted all the other Englishmen (those playing in Green) to be allowed to have a drink.

This could have been much darker thread.

She had more shots at goal at that World Cup than any Englishman.
