June 12th is on the horizon of all football fans and sports fans in general who have been waiting patiently or perhaps impatiently for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil to start.
We all have our favourite moments from previous World Cups, and I asked people on Twitter @jduggantodayfm to give me their best memories and indicate in the 140 characters why they were so special.....

@jduggantodayfm Brazil France in either 98 or 06. The greatest player of my lifetime dominated both in completely different ways #allezzizou

I loved this moment from Maxi Rodriguez in the 2006 World Cup, when Argentina beat Mexico 2-1. It was a great game.
