Favourite World Cup Player: Brazilian Ronaldo
Favourite World Cup Team: 2002 Brazil Team
Favourite World Cup Team to support when yours is inevitably knocked out: England but they don’t usually last much longer then Australia so end up turning to Germany
Favourite World Cup Goal: Cahill vs the Dutch. Or James Rodriguez. Prob better ones but can’t think at the moment
Favourite World Cup Tournament: 06 just because it was Australia’s first so it was easier to get right into it.
Favourite World Cup Moment: Not favourite but most memorable was at 02 when Senegal beat France in the group.

Favourite World Cup Player - Brazilian Ronaldo (prime), with Roberto Baggio a close second. Mentioned Baggio for almost doing a Maradona in ‘94 by carrying his team to the trophy.
Favourite World Cup Team - Most impressive was Spain in 2010. Greatest midfielder ever Xavi in midfield playing keep ball was incredible to watch.
Favourite World Cup Team to support when yours is inevitably knocked out - the one with Messi in it, unfortunately he’s surrounded by weak teammates.
Favourite World Cup Goal - Ray Houghton, Ireland winner vs Italy in ‘94
Favourite World Cup Tournament - Italia ‘90. Nessun Dorma by Pavarotti, that whole tournament had something very classy about it.
Favourite World Cup Moment - Ireland beating Italy 1-0 in Giants stadium in ‘94, never been as hoarse before or since.

Favourite World Cup Goal - Soviet Union's trashing of Cameroon in 1990. Some Russian belted the ball over 20 metres from the goal and scored with a shot that defied gravity and aerodynamics.

The ball skimmed about 2 - 3 feet off the ground and as it got almost to the Cameroon keeper, it took an upward curve. Somehow it hit the top of the net inside the goal.

Never seen it before......never seen it since.

Was at The Star when Timmy scored the wondergoal against Holland... hectic night as we had watched the Blues win Origin there earlier.

When he scored that goal there was beers and chairs flying everywhere it was an unbelievable moment
