The last 20 WC covers pretty much all of living memory, and I doubt many of us on here are qualified to talk about more than 5-10 WCs.
2006 I remember Italy v France was very exciting.
1954 was supposedly pretty exciting with allegations of doping, blatent fouling, and a very dodgy offside call against Puskas.
'58 was also supposedly pretty exciting (certainly a lot of goals)
'66 was a great one for me as a Brit, but also interesting because of the stolen trophy, yet more doping. The match itself was also tense, with a last minute free-kick pushing the match to extra time, the first (and only) hat trick every scored in a WC final, the controversial third goal and the final goal scored while the pitch was being invaded.
'90 was interesting because of the sheer dirtiness of play.
'98 is interesting for me because it's the first World cup I really remember following closely, but not particularly noteworthy as these things go.
That said, 2022 was a very exciting final and will go down in World Cup History.
And definitely nothing should kill a browser without explicit user confirmation.

- unethical_ban 4y agoWas there ever a time when faking injuries like a toddler wasn't an integral, unpunished part of the game? I like watching the WC because soccer is interesting enough to see once per Olympiad on the world stage. The final today had some amazing shows of talent and teamwork, but it is primally revolting to me to watch grown men writhe in faux agony with one eye on the ref, when their opponent's foot whiffed some air past their shin.
