I’ve watched 10 from 86
I’m not sure if I remember 82 or not, my memory has been shot to pieces lately [Post edited 6 Jun 11:54]

I have watched 11, exactly half, starting with Spain 82 which is still in my top five.
When this one kicks off I will have watched over half of all world cups which makes me feel very old. I’m a proper geek like student of football history and always considered the first one in 1930 as proper fcking ancient when I was a kid. |  |

8th here.
I have vague recollections of USA 94 mainly, I think, due to some Happy Meal toys with him on them, but don't recall watching any matches.
Being 10 in 1998, I absolutely devoured that particular tournament. |  |

Time is fecking weird as you age isn't it.
The 1930 and 1982 World Cups are the same in terms of years between the two as the 1974 and 2026 ones and we've been alive for both. |  |

15, starting in 1966 when I was 15. I was in Germany at Easter that year taking a language course, and my hosts told me that they believed that England would win. I was ROFLMAO, as we say nowadays, but was delighted to be wrong. The one that hurt the most was in 1970, when were 2-1 up but lost 3-2 against Germany. The whole country went into a depression that changed the outcome of the General Election ...  ... | | | |

Can remember 1982, especially as Mick Mills was England captain. Socrates , Rossi, Zico, Maradona , the Soviet Union team. |
So many memories from that World Cup, for me.
Robson scoring after 30 seconds and Mariner scoring as well, as you say Mills the captain, the incredible Brazil side (Falcao, Eder etc how did they not win it?)
Paolo Rossi hat trick, Tardelli's amazing celebration.
The West German Schumacher making that amazing foul and getting away with it.
The iconic England shirt (still my favourite to this day).
The 81 season for Ipswich and 82 World Cup was the point at which football became a major thing in my life. | |

Same here, that's as bad as the three lions song now being 60 years of hurt and not 30! | |

Yes, same. Don’t have any memory of 1982 at 5 (can remember the Falklands War though) but every one from 1986.
Not sure I’ve felt less enthusiastic about one than I do for this one though. |  |

Was only 4 in 1966 and remember nothing of that, so 1970 was my first, although I only clearly remember the England games and the great Brazilian team.
82 will always be the best tournament for me. Northern Ireland with 10 men for more than half the game beating the highly fancied hosts Spain in a seething Valencia stadium is my favourite ever World Cup moment. The football from Italy, Brazil and France in that tournament was outstanding.
From 2002 to 2014 I thought the tournaments were very underwhelming, but at least Southgate for all his faults reignited my interest in it again by producing an England team that went deep and had an outside sniff of winning it.
At the minute, less than a week away, I’m yet to feel much enthusiasm for this one...wake me up when we get to the knockout stages. |  | | |

10. Got absolute pelters at school aged 7 for supporting Argentina in 86, then again in 1990. Watched 98 in a big French farmhouse with a load of mates on a post-finals lash-up. Watched 2010 when I was living in Mexico, that was a lot of fun. |  | | |
