In 2006 italy-germany and italy-france were both duds.
It was great for you because of the result and Italy really went for it in extra time against Germany. But as a neutral, they were nothing extraordinary.

I think the last truly great World Cup match was Brazil-Holland in the Cotton Bowl in 94.

Also in recent world cups, group play has been awful. Perhaps this was because of the expansion to 32 teams. Back in 86 to 94 the group matches were alot of fun with plenty of goals.
