What was the first World Cup you can remember watching?
I remember Michael Owen’s amazing solo run and goal against Argentina in 1998, but I was only young then and couldn’t appreciate it as much until I got older, so the Japan and South Korea tournament in 2002 is the earliest World Cup I have clear recollections of watching. I was living in Portugal, following it on TV. I went to an international school and I seem to remember they’d stop classes for the games involving Portugal and England, so that was quite lucky!
Who were the stars that year?
