    Yea. I didn't want to watch it with all the England fans in school so I went to the college my Mum worked at and watched it with the Portuguese cleaners and the Italians who worked in the cafeteria.

    Was quality, will always remember that Ronaldinho goal and us all cheering. My brother got sent home from school that day for wearing a Brazil shirt.

    Apart from Scotland in 1998, my first other memory was probably that team who had all dyed their hair blonde. Pretty sure it was Romania.

    Aye for me the best ever, Rossi put them to the sword that day. Brazil 82's main weakness was the defence.

    I remember bits of 2002 but my first proper World Cup was 2006, I watched almost every game if I could! So first memory would be Lahm's goal against Costa Rica, opening game of that World Cup.

    The Fiery team of 1998. That the * * Thuram had to put out... And the 2002. mad chaos against Italy. Rapaić's goal was wonderclass.
