Wow, the 2006 World Cup was in my opinion the best (since I started watching in 1990).
The 2002 World Cup for me was marred by horrible refereeing and terrible football (with the exception of Brazilian Ronaldo). That Germany team was probably the weakest team to ever reach a World Cup final. It's the same team that lost 0:3 to Portugal's B team in the Euros and didn't get out of the group. The only reason they managed to get to the final was because they were playing absolutely ridiculous teams on their way there and had a heroic goalie in Oliver Khan. The two semi-finals were Brazil v Turkey and Germany v South Korea. The final was boring and one-sided. Just terrible. I even prefer the 2010 cup to the one in 2002.
