The 2014 World Cup took place in Brazil and was won by Germany in a final against a Lionel Messi led Argentina side. It was a tense affair with the German side prevailing due to a Mario Gotze goal in extra-time.
However, the tournament was best remembered for Germany’s demolition of Brazil, 7-1 in the semi-final.
