Brilliant! I could look at those for ages.

They're pretty much all excellent until '94 imho, although '86 and '90 are perhaps a bit weaker than the others. After that, I think '02, 06 and '10 are also pretty good.

1950's the best for me.

Looking at it again, the retarded USA '94 one really is the cousin of the simplistic badge Reading had at the time. Hopefully that poster alone will prevent the WC ever going to the States again.

USA '94 seem to have not realised they could have an official logo and a poster

It was good world cup though (apart from the worst final ever)

'06 is also pretty weak and sadly for the patriots amongst us I'm no fan of '66

Mexico 70 defo, although they are all very good indeed. Although, the '66 isn't that inspiring. A cartoon lion kicking a ball......

I think that's the problem, like USA '94 they've failed to separate the poster from the rest of the guff. Espana '82 wouldn't half as good a poster if there was a fat orange in the middle of it

There's a lot of goodies there.

Funnily enough, amongst the lamest, is the England 66 one!

I'd go for Mexico I think although props to quite a lot of those posters.

Italia 90 is a bit obvious for my liking.

1966 certainly has rather less artistic merit than many of them but isn't a bad poster as such.

The USA looks like a branding exercise - the sort of thing they'd stick on the labels of official merchandise. Easily the worst IMHO.

I like 1930 and 1934. USA in 1994 is terrible and by far the worst.
