Brazil 2002 going 7 wins from 7 still sounds mad.

Now with the new format, the winner might need 8 straight wins to do the same thing.
No draw.
No penalties escape.
No one bad day.

Spain should be in the conversation for sure. They look scary right now.

France also, because of that squad and Mbappé.

Argentina know how to suffer and still win.

Brazil have the talent, but I don’t know if they can stay perfect for 8 games.

England and Portugal are strong too, but 8/8 is a different level.

Honestly, who do you think has the best chance?

As a Belgian fan the 2018 World Cup still haunts me a little. We had that squad, probably the best generation we'll ever have, and we couldn't get it done. The Japan comeback was insane but losing to France in the semis still stings.

But outside of Belgium, Tshabalala's goal in 2010 does something to me every single time. That sound in the stadium, the vuvuzelas. A guy from Soweto scoring the opening goal of a World Cup on home soil. Nothing comes close for pure emotion.

Ronaldo's hat trick against Spain in 2018 is up there too. 3-3, last minute free kick, the audacity of it. That whole game was just beautiful chaos.

And Germany 7-1 Brazil in 2014 still feels unreal. Watching that live felt like something was broken.

Curious what this community remembers most. Doesn't have to be a goal, could be a match, a moment, a feeling. What's yours?
