Thought this would be an interesting thought experiment to see what people thought, going by the quality of football but also connections you may have had to certain tournaments. What would be your ranking?

For me 2022 just had everything, two elites in Messi and Mbappe at their best, the story with Messi trying to win it, bags of goals - perfect. 2006 with Zidane stealing the show albeit for wrong reasons, still a classic. Also I don’t think any of these finals were bad, but some were definitely not as entertaining.

So I’d go:

2022 WC

2006 WC

2002 WC

2014 WC

2018 WC

2010 WC

        Idk croatia had double possession and shots rly jsut looked like the moral got whipped out of them that game by the time it got to 3-1, because of the poor reffing and unfortunate misses. The last 30 minutes and score prolly makes it feel more one sided then it was. Still would favor france but I don’t think it’s very clear cut.

      I also wonder how would 2014 turn out if Neymar wasn’t injured, or how would 2022 turn out if Brazil’s defenders didn’t go full braindead in the game vs. Croatia…
