World Cup 2026 Tournament Generic

Germany were crowned World Cup winners for a fourth time during the 2014 edition of the tournament in Brazil.

One of the most memorable tournaments this century, it produced iconic goals, iconic moments, with many of the best players in the world producing on the biggest stage.

James Rodriguez took the Golden Boot after scoring six times as Colombia reached the quarter-finals.

It was a breakthrough month for Rodriguez, who earned himself a move to Real Madrid off the back of his performances, scoring in every game he played, including a brace in the round of 16 against Uruguay where his stunning left foot volley will live long in the memory.

The then 23-year-old finished ahead of Germany forward Thomas Muller, who netted five goals as his country went on to lift the trophy.

Lionel Messi and Neymar both ended the tournament with four goals, with the former earning the Golden Ball as Argentina lost out to Germany in the final.

Dutch striker Robin van Persie also struck four times and his audacious diving header against Spain was later nominated for the Puskas Award.
