I loved the 03 WC, best one ive ever seen!

the best one i've seen is the 1996 version, absolutely superb....

the best one ever in my opinion is the 1983 version. it was an unbelievable final with india winning it... it was a major upset at that time and it is still considered a major upset of all time!
