All 21 World Cups ranked: From worst to best

The FIFA World Cup is the biggest stage in football. It’s where dreams are born, hearts are broken, and a million vuvuzelas die from overuse. Every four years we gather around the screen — cheering, shouting, biting our nails, and arguing about offside calls. But let’s be honest: not all World Cups have been equally memorable. Some tournaments have delivered epic finals, iconic goals, and heroes who get tattooed on calves in Buenos Aires and Naples. Others… offered a feast of 0-0s, referee scandals, and forgettable hosts. And then there are the weird ones — with stolen trophies, chest-high headbutts, and teams sent home because their goalkeeper had a razor blade hidden in his glove. So we’ve taken on the impossible task: ranking all 21 World Cups, from the worst to the very best. It’s a journey through football’s most dramatic, scandalous, and glorious moments. There are goals. There are tears. There is Maradona. Ready? Lace up and dive into 94 years of World Cup history — from Montevideo to Moscow, from saints to sinners.
