From: Remi Category: TV Date: 30 January 2007 Time: 05:42 PM Review: Was strange to see the highlights of this world cup, the first I can remember. Was I be unduly nostalgic? I'd like to think I was being romantic. I found it very stirring, yet twee and meaningless as well. Imagined myself being back then, watching from the crowd, being a Scotland supporter, then a CCCP fan, maybe an Algerian aficionado. If I were the latter, I think I would have been insensed by my country being represented by the French Foreign Legion, which is what the BBC managed to do.
