World Cup, marks out of 10

[Staffsoatcake]

4/10

Those horns got on my tits.
That ball is crap.
Refs, not very good.
Freeckicks were awful.
Too much playacting by players.
England crap.
Fabragas winning a World Cup medal.

2/10

Fucking vuvubollocks, petty moaning by teams, England complete shite, big headed self important tossers like Terry mouthing in interviews, arse licking commentaries on BBC.

Only plusses (hence the 2) were Uruguay and Chile, enjoyed watching them.

[shoey100]

Couldn't have put it better myself to be honest!

Plus I'm struggling to remember more games than I can count on one hand that were actually memorable

thats being generous im giving it a 2/10 for the same reasons

[dozintheseventees]

1/10 Purely because it passed the time between Premier League seasons.

[u2oxeterstokie]

From an organisational point of view I'd give it a 9

[potterpaul]

Pretty forgettable

Germany were good.
Otherwise I'd say it was greatly over rated as a sporting event. Arse kissing and blowing smoke up butts reached new highs from the main media outlets and the so called pundits.

Did England even go to the World Cup - that embarrassment seems so long ago now.

[wembley4372]

0 - poor coverage, noise, no atmosphere, poor refereeing, poor location and very poor England team.

Shocks, Great atmosphere and organisation by the South Africans, France's Revolt, Paul the Octopus and unpredictability

Lost marks for Dismal football particularly in the opening round (ENGLAND )

[sirpineapple89]

I was really looking forward to it and I now apologise to those who said they weren't.

It was fucking wank, bar a few moments.

Nothing seemed to click.

5. Disappointing but I'm still going to miss it.

Agreed, and it also meant we didn't have bloody soaps on.

[sheikhmomo]

I thought the refereeing was quite good comapred to the utter shit we get week in, week out in the Premier League.

[basingstokie]

7.5/10

Refereeing was very good (Only 2 dodgy decisions, Tevez offside goal and Lampard goal + Lampard wasn't linesman's fault).
Germany were brilliant and should have won it
England's Golden Generation finally had their 24 carat gold plating scrapped off, to reveal a pile of sh1t

[frodekippe]

I will forever associate it with "James Corden's World Cup Live"

Having seen 9 world cups now I have to say this lies quiet low down with 82 being the best closely followed by 90. For me this ranked similarily to the 94 world cup in the States.
For the following reasons
Those bloody trumpet things blew away any atmosphere
A lot of awful games
No classic matches
No great goals
No shining stars
Massive dissapointment from the big names Ronaldo, Kaka, Rooney, Messi etc
Working shifts I missed a lot of games
England were rotten though from that a positive note good excuse to get rid of Terry, Lampard, Carragher (retired), Heskey, Gerrard, Green etc

On a possitive note no crowd trouble

6/10
Pt. deducted for the vulvas. +1pt for organisation. After England went out I lost interest so difficult to judge on all the games. The ones I did see were ok but nothing more. I liked the final yesterday even though from a footballing perspective it was shite. I liked the fact that there was so much tension in the game & the contrast in tactics & the various shades of cheating adopted by the respective sides.

[Irish Stokie]

1/10, about as bad as i could imagine it could be. None of the top players turned up, Spain are diving, cheating, Fibreglass playing fucks, very few decent goals, NO decent games, crap atmosphere and Fibreglass

4/10

ruined by wank refereeing, wayne rooney and the fly away ball

Germany, Argentina and Uruaguay were entertaining though

[cobhamstokey]

Being 40 i never saw the 66 world cup with my first being 78. What World Cup do people rate the best. For me I'll go with 82 closely followed by 90. 82 was a classic with 3 home countries in it the magical brazilians the Germany France semi and the Tardelli celebration. We did well and had a team you could get behind with no prima donnas. 90 Gazza and all that the Platt winner, Cameroon the heartbreak of the Semi but an unaventful final made up for with the tears of Maradonna.
Your thoughts please?

[Pretty Little Boother]

Utter shite. 1.

Everything was poor.

[rockthecity]

4.5

[bostonstokie]

I'd go with about a 6.

Refereeing was inconsistent with some glaring errors (thought Webb was decent yuesterday)
Too many teams played too conservatively
I was happy with the spirit in the US team, but you just can't get behind in every match.
England weren't nearly as fun to watch as they should have been
Enjoyed Germany, Chile, Uraguay, the first North Korea game

But I just love the group stage no matter what - what treat it is to have multiple games involving high stakes and high quality players every day.

There were some good goals.

[Dr Oetcake]

6/`10, was looking forward to it for so long, but then couldnt get into it. James Corden is shit. What the fuck were Badiell and Skinner up to? Its not the same without Fantasy Football. At least B & S look like they could join you for a decent kick about, fucking Corden would the the fat lad picked last, and of course there would be odd numbers so each team would argue that he should play for the other team, in the end, he wanders about down at the corner flag and no-one will pass to him. Thats James Coden and he is the actual embodiment of this world cup.

Just about the worst world cup I can remember
