World Cups always have something to do with previous ones. We still talk about the Brazil '82 squad when we talk about playing the beautiful game beautifully or the Italian
catenaccio as the eternal counterpoint between playing pretty or winning and the morals or ethics of gamesmanship (see Suarez handball against Ghana in South Africa in 2010) and how it evolves or transforms ...football culture is a holistic thing, and World Cups are part of it.
