    Interesting that the top goal-scorer of all time isn't there, Miroslav Klose.

    In that case it's far more amazing that Brazil's Ronaldo wasn't there. He would have been the record scorer at WC's at that point and fresh in everybody's memories, instead of comparing guys they've probably only seen in highlight reels

    Diego Forlan should have at least been in the poll.

    Hey, whatever happened to the anonymity of the ballot box ?

    As dahamsta always says, this is not a democracy.

    But srsly.

    Out of that list it's Diego.

    But then again my abiding wirld Cup memories revolve around a Mr McGrath.

    The ecstatic moments and craic apart, mine would be the rain while playing England in 1990 (not dressed for it) and the heat in Orlando in 1994 (sheltering under a bridge from it). Disappointment against Egypt in 1990 (an Egyptian fan telling me after the game the game was new to them: we had to make the running). Given going the wrong way in Korea for every penalty and looking out the plane window on the way there and seeing Ulan Bator in the distance. The sheer pride of being at all those games.

    1990 was great for many reasons and the official song is the best ever in Italian. 1986 too with Diego, for me from the last ones the worst was Germany 2006. 2010 was exciting as in Brazil and Russia WC was better than in Germany.
