Johanna KalbTaking a moment to measure my adult life in World Cups. My first intro was when I was working a college summer in Leipzig. France was hosting, so no one did anything except watch. The next time I was in a village in coastal Ghana. We watched on a black and white screen with bunny ears and couldn’t see anything. In ‘06, I desperately wanted to be in Germany, but I was studying for the bar. In ‘10, I wanted to be in SA, but I had a newborn who didn’t sleep, so we too turns watching all night.
Grey Wolf@professorkalb The first I remember was when Argentina won, but I was not really paying attention, it was just a lot of playground banter and some unfortunates bought Argentina tops and then the Falklands came along and they still had them. 1982 in Spain is the first world cup I really remember, Keegan and Mariner etc. 1986 was MY World Cup, all my heroes, Mexico, Sanchez, the Hand of God, Lineker, Bobby Robson. 1990 was also gold
