Favourite World Cup Player - Pele (from footage), Zico (from tournaments actually watched)
Favourite World Cup Team - Brazil 1982
Favourite World Cup Goal - Nelinho, Brazil - 1978
Favourite World Cup Tournament - Spain 1982
Favourite World Cup Moment - 'Favourite' would be an odd description, but the one that sticks in the memory is the France vs West Germany semi-final in 1982 and Shumacher's assault on Patrick Battiston which didn't even warrant a free kick.
There's very much a theme of the World Cup being so much more special when you're young. 1982 was magical for me (the final was played on my 8th birthday) and was the first World Cup I collected Panini stickers for. I could name you every group and recall most of the scores from that tournament. I'd struggle to tell you anything memorable about the last 2 or 3 World Cups.

Madonna
Hagi's Romania
Aldridge 94 for a Tranmere fan having one of our players score in a world cup was surreal
1990.
Owen 98. Felt like we could own the world and was just a boss time to be a football fan

Favourite World Cup player is too hard, I remember players, but pinning them down to a specific World Cup is beyond my memory.
Brazil 1982. That Brazil side from around then stick in my mind.
Favourite World Cup Goal. Michael Owen 1998, closely followed by Joe Cole (2006), Josimar (1986)
Favourite World Cup Tournament. Italia 90
Favourite World Cup Moment; Gazza, Lineker.

Player - Lineker. My boyhood hero Team - England 86/90 with GL banging in 10 tens in 2 events. Goal - Maradona dancing through the England defence. Truly incredible to watch given he was probably high on coke at the time. Tournament - Just shade 1986 as GL won the golden boot. Moment - GL scoring a hat trick with a broken arm |

Favourite World Cup Player - Ronaldo. The original one.
Favourite World Cup Team - France 1998 in my lifetime... so, so much talent
Favourite World Cup Goal - Maxi Rodriguez vs. Mexico in 2006. Can't remember a goal in the tournament that made me leap three feet off the sofa, but that one did. A phenomenal strike.
Favourite World Cup Tournament - USA 1994... Ignore the final, just some cracking matches with some amazing players.
Favourite World Cup Moment - Zidane nutting Materazzi. Amazes me every time I watch it.

There should be another category. Least fav world cup goal. Joe Cole (2006) cost me a fortune as i backed him at 8/13 not to score in the WC that year. |

fav world cup song would be a good addition to the list as well. World in motion for me by New Order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re4aDJL3heAFav world cup kit would be another good one to add. Dutch late 80s/early 90s kit was my personal fav. |
