Surprise, surprise: it was from a car company that's related to Juve.
I was born 89, France 98 is the first tournament I remember (also Scotland vs Brazil in the opening game!) World cups in my lifetime in order of how good they were:
France 98
ROK/Japan 02
Russia 18
Qatar 22
Germany 06
South Africa 10
Brazil 14
France 98 had some truly iconic players and moments that we'll never see again. Valderrama, Ariel Ortega jumping to headbutt Van Der Sar on the chin. The Croatia jersey. Same with 02 even besides the open cheating on behalf of the ROK team.
Russia 18 was great, but maybe that's because I was in Uruguay so it's the only one besides 98 where I had a team in the competition lol. Qatar had the best final ever, even though I hate that Messi got to lift the trophy thanks to Martinez.
06 truly the end of an era. Big money was arriving along with statistic-driven drivel. The last great generation of footballers' peak. South Africa very underrated because of the Vuvuzelas and maybe the dodgy ball but I liked it. 14 last by default as it's the one I saw the least of. Germany winning 1-0 in extra time is very boring as well.

2006 has to be the finest in the last two decades . The squads were absolutely stacked and a Juve core won the world cup. A close second for me would be Russia 2018.
The worst recent one so far is 2010. The Vuvuzelas were annoying and La Liga whores winning it made it even more insufferable.
Throughout history, i doubt there is one that tops 1986 based on Diego alone. 1990 too, is severely underrated
