Thought it was usually the previous winners who started things off? 12:30 - Jun 14 with 930 viewsITFC_Forever

1990 - Argentina vs Cameroon
1994 - Germany vs Bolivia
1998 - Brazil vs Scotland
2002 - France vs Senegal

It would seem the Germans changed it in 2006 after a quick google. So I'm only 12 years behind the times.

It seems to have moved between winners and hosts over the years.

On the subject of opening matches though, Tickner is quite funny here, 1990 in particular:

12 years is pretty good! I'd love to be that up to date...

This has come round quickly. I haven't even got a wall chart yet

I think it changed to hosts when holders no longer qualified automatically.

Trailing vapour since 1999.
