I remember watching bits of the 86 WC because my dad explained what FRG stood for when West Germany was playing. I wasn’t really into the sport yet so it was just a bit.

90 WC I remember was on TBS I think because I remember the voice of the Atlanta Hawks was the PBP guy. I remember watching Argentina the most as they made it to the finals.

94 WC I think I watched every match.

1998. I was in DC during the 94 WC, but I was only 6 and we didnt get into soccer at all until about a year later. I remember going to the USA/Argentina game during the 1996 Olympics.

I’m young. So 2006.

I vividly remember watching the Zidane head butt at my Grandmother’s house.

I remember Roberto Baggio missing his penalty in 1994. I was 10.

I remember 1998 because my friend invited me to go to France with he and his dad for several games. They flew on the Concorde. My parents said no.

I remember watching us lose to Iran in 98, didn't get into it though until watching us beat Portugal in 2002 at 3 o'clock in the morning when I was 12... That tournament hooked me on the world cup and the USMNT for life.

I remember the US sitting back and absorbing the Brazilian attack for 90 minutes in '94. We may have crossed midfield twice.

Mine is actually the Women's World Cup in 1999. Chastain taking her shirt off really caught my attention.

I have the most vivid memories of 2006, though.

Yeah, the press were pissed. They had such a good squad. I remember watching their run in Euro 96 until Oliver Bierhoff crushed them.

Don't remember ANY of that one

Yeah it was on TBS, I remember the first game, Cameroon beating Argentina 1-0...thats all I remember

I was 14 turning 15 that August. Summer of '94 was unforgettable. Watched most because it was here.

I watched every match I could in '98, I was big on the Dutch and French sides...still am today.
