Kitchandro Posted 18 May 2014 Posted 18 May 2014 I'm hoping this doesn't get merged into the other World Cup thread, as I think there should be one separate from all the technical conversations about squads and how shite England are going to do. I thought we'd have an excitable thread for all those things that get you in the mood for the world cup: Nostalgic TV shows, preview mags, wall charts, etc; and where to find them all. I'm very into all that childish stuff and I'd hate to miss out on all those things; the sooner I get World Cup fever the better. I'm sure there are many other people who feel the same, after all we've now got almost no football for over 3 weeks! So if there are any World Cup programmes on in the build up to the tournament, tell us in here. If see any pull outs or preview mags in the shop, let the Foxes Talk brethren know. And if you like a few nostalgia driven video highlights from World Cups gone by, see this thread. Case and point: Also, let us know what your plans are for the world cup. Organised any World Cup BBQs? Watching it while abroad? Going to Brazil? Embrace World Cup fever! I for one can't wait.

ScouseFox Posted 18 May 2014 Posted 18 May 2014 i said somewhere else but i've had the weekend of the italy game booked off work since the draw was made. going to get smashed. probably won't even know the score until i wake up on monday. and then we'll have another game a few days later
ozleicester Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 Not sure this fits the bill.. but hey if not.. delete it. This is my first real memory fo the world cup (how sad).... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLpyriMOttA Gutted, that this cup... will be the first since ive been breathing, that i wont watch every England game (Im told i watched the 66 games.. but i dont remember that) im going to be in the middle of Australia in a motor home. Having said that.. ill ONLY miss the group stages, so ill be back for the finals and to see us lift the cup!!!!!
Ric Flair Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 I absolutely love major tournaments and obviously the World Cup is the pinnacle. I've got this whole week off work as study leave for my upcoming CIMA exam but I won't be studying at all, i'll be watching old England videos as it's my favourite past time in the weeks leading up. One Night In Turin, anything else Italia 90 based. There is a fantastic 10 part documentary on you tube that a journalist did during Italia 90, i've watched it a few times over the years and you can't help get buzzed up and wish you were heading out to follow our country. This tournament got me in to football aged 7, it's been classed as the most boring world cup of all time with the fewest goals and lots of ill-discipline but it's still magical in my eyes. So many characters in Roger Milla, Rene Higuita, Maradona, Schillaci, Gazza, Rijkaard, all the Irish, Mattheus and obviously the best England shirt of all time.
Nalis Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 France 1998 and original Ronaldo was the best World Cup from the ones I can remember. Even though I support Northern Ireland, Germany v Ireland in 2002 still remains the best match for atmosphere I have even seen in a pub, couldn't even hear myself scream when Keane equalised! This is my first World Cup since living in England and cant wait for it to start and the pub banter.

What a night that will be. There's a party at mine and everyone's invited
Kitchandro Posted 19 May 2014 Author Posted 19 May 2014 Here's one for you Ric from 2002! I think this should start a theme of underrated, undermentioned world cup goals. The 'oh yeh, I remember that one' type. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-hpafbbkrc
Kitchandro Posted 19 May 2014 Author Posted 19 May 2014 Decent mini mag with FourFourTwo this month Nice one man, just picked it up. I still remember the one from 2002, it had a brilliant intro page that I read before every world cup, a classic bit of writing to sum up why it's so special. I might type it up and post it at some point.

deejdeej Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 Not sure how to put video's on here but one of my favourite goals of all time was Maxi Rodriguez' against Mexico in 2006, what a goal!
Grandad. Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 Not sure how to put video's on here but one of my favourite goals of all time was Maxi Rodriguez' against Mexico in 2006, what a goal! Just copy and paste the youtube link into your post mate, that's it. This wasn't a bad opening goal of a World Cup!
Grandad. Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 My first ever England shirt was Euro 96! I love the 98 shirt as well.
Grandad. Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 If you're English and this doesnt give you shivers then something is wrong!!
Darkon84 Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 If you're English and this doesnt give you shivers then something is wrong!! Still almost brings a tear to my eye. Pearce and Adams going for it
SystonFox Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 Still almost brings a tear to my eye. Pearce and Adams going for it Southgate belting it too
Kitchandro Posted 19 May 2014 Author Posted 19 May 2014 Southgate belting it too A lot of good it did him
Kitchandro Posted 19 May 2014 Author Posted 19 May 2014 Please do, I remember the magazine! Fvck I can't find it. I did however find the England squad coin collection book from France 98, anyone remember that?
Amin Posted 19 May 2014 Posted 19 May 2014 Fvck I can't find it. I did however find the England squad coin collection book from France 98, anyone remember that? Yep, did they come from Sainsburys or am I just imagining that?
