Well it was an interesting World Cup. Germany beat Argentina 1-0 a few days ago, in extra time, and it took an amazing goal by Götze to clinch the win.
Best goal: James Rodriguez - Colombia vs. Uruguay. Rodriguez won the Golden Boot award too. Nice to see it go to a very skilled and humble player.
Biggest surprise: I can't believe Argentina made it to the final. Great individual players, but historically not so united as a team; Sabella somehow managed to gel the team into a nice and cohesive unit.
Biggest disappointment: Brazil losing to Germany 7-1. It's one thing to lose, but 7-1? And at home?
Best player: Ok, so Messi won the Golden Ball award, but I wonder whether that was a good selection. He played ok in the first two rounds but then disappeared. I think I'd have given it to the Manuel Neuer.
