I would say 2002. Lots of upsets and therefore just a handful marquee matches. South Korea shady wins. Pretty boring semis and final.
Italia 90
2018 probably had the worst final, France just battered Croatia. 2010 overall was a snooze fest.
I found the 2010 World Cup boring as hell, and I’m talking about the football. Everything else vibes, and all that 10/10 for me
Also Qatar, only got good after the round of 16
I don’t think anyone else can back you up on Qatar, just Group E alone was better than some entire world cups. The tournament being in the middle of the season gave us the most fit teams we’ve ever had… and the most injuries later.
2022 WC had best group stage.
Russia
Most people say 1990. Lowest goals ever at 2.21 per game and lots of penalty shootouts.
2002 is most rigged, which is definitely not boring.
I don’t recall much happening in Russia 2018.
The Belgium - Japan game was a banger. CR7 vs. Spain. And maybe France-Argentina. These are the games i remember, and would probably consider rewatching sometime.
I’m only a casual watcher but that year had some pretty cool storylines iirc.
The Belgian golden generation, Croatia’s impressive consistency, Germany completely flopping out, and the first time Kylian Mbappe showed himself in the worldcup
Also I keep thinking about that 4-2 France v Argentina game
4-3
Goal by Pavard was shocker
That was a great World Cup
Lots of last minute goals
How could u call it uneventful/boring when there were a lot of upsets?
for me it was the qatar world cup, it just felt scripted to let messi win and france was so dominant they knocked out everyone else.
2010 was a snoozefest until the knockouts, then exploded. The final typified the entire tournament.
2010 was my least favourite. The fly-away ball, those hellish horns, and mostly, the games were pretty woeful in the beginning. It got a little better as it went on but wasn’t a great tournament overall.
Yeah this is the worst World Cup I’ve watched
Yea 2010 was awful imo. Only good bit was the soundtrack, the games were slow and boring, and the sounds were horrible
Most boring wc ever, Spain won 90000 matches with the 1-0 score line
Definitely the worst I’ve ever watched.
2018 was so boring
1942
Very Uneventful
2018
Some might say that 1990 was pretty bad for the quality of football played and was the trigger for banning the back pass to the keeper.
But it was the first World Cup I was able to watch in it’s entirety aged 10, so it always has a special place in my heart!
For me 1990 was the first WC I followed as a kid with real interest. And so many legends were playing. No way, 1990 will always hold a place in my heart.
2022, everyone knew who would be the winner, it was rigged from the start
2018 wc seemed to lack thrill and excitement
