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
Why is everyone ranking 2018 so low, there were 6 goals, and some very food football on show
For how many goals were in that final, it was surprisingly uneventful. France were the better team and they won and that’s that. I can’t even name the players that scored in that match. I think mbappe got a goal and maybe giroud?
