The very first FIFA World Cup that I saw on television and followed keenly was the 1978 Mexico World Cup where Argentina with the great Mario Kempes emerged triumphant. Know more:
reported in the newspaper and on television for the highlights that were shown at 7 p.m. For the longest time, I kept the Time magazine with Kempes on the cover.
As I recall it, more than 75,000 fans packed Giants Stadium in New Jersey to watch the match live and there were millions more watching on television. The next year, the Mexico World Cup was shown on local television . As an elementary school student, I could not stay up late or get up even earlier to watch matches so I caught the replays that were shown at more favorable time slots.
Older and with more purchasing power, I could stay up late, go to the pubs to watch with other fans and buy football kits here and abroad. This Qatar World Cup, I have watched almost every single match on World Cup TV via TapGo TV with its excellent features and coverage. Yes, I did stay up and have also paid the price by being a bit lethargic and sleepy the next day at work. But as it is said, this happens only every four years.
