Description

The 2014 FIFA World Cup was held in Brazil from June 12 to July 13, marking the tournament's 20th edition. Matches were distributed across various cities in Brazil, culminating in the final at Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã Stadium.

Germany secured victory as champions, defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final with Mario Götze's decisive goal in extra time. This win marked Germany's fourth World Cup title, solidifying their place among the tournament's most successful teams.

The 2014 World Cup was memorable for several notable moments. Brazil's shocking 7-1 loss to Germany in the semi-finals stands out as one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. Additionally, Colombia's James Rodríguez claimed the Golden Boot as the tournament's top scorer, while Germany's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer earned the Golden Glove award for best goalkeeper.
